It's Been a Month?!?

*sheesh* It is really hard to find good help these days. I mean, an entire month since our last post? Mom says she's "been busy". Something about lots of work at the Great Kibble Provider, and taking photos of doggies looking for good families, and taking photos for people who want to immortalize their doggies (and who wouldn't?), so I guess that is a moderately acceptable excuse. Of course, it also means that you now get a month of photos of us, since while Mom wasn't posting to our bloggie, at least she was still taking photos of us!

Anyhoo, this month has been crazy, weather-wise (although that's probably true everywhere). We went from Spring in the last post, right back to Winter. These photos were honestly, truly taken May 1st. I think it's because that was the day Mom and Dad decided to take the snow tires off their cars. That'll teach them!

Of course, the youngsters have learned that snow is always an occasion for bitey-face. (Well, they think ANY weather is great for bitey-face. Not that I would have argued with them when I was that age. Well, I'm not sure I was ever quite this young, but there you have it....)

We then went from Winter back to Spring pretty much overnight.

And then back to Winter again (no, really). Winter seems to make Lucy-Fur extra bouncy!

It's a shame she doesn't like the snow...

And then our snow melted and sort of came back again (this time it came back the day after we got our furs trimmed; again, excellent timing on Mom's part!).

What month is this again?

Snowy snooter.

Big schnozz.

And then after Winter visiting us on and off, I think we got transported to Seattle, as it has been raining on and off forever. I think Mom and Dad should look at buying an Ark.... However, it has given us some dramatical skies!

Is it about to rain again, Mom?

Those were our pre-hair cut dramatical skies, and then there were post-hair cut dramatical skies. Seriously, I think our yard is beginning to grow moldy!

Ooooh. I'm so serious and so dramatical here!

This makes me look like I'm calling up the demons of the underworld. Not necessary, as we've got Daisy, and besides, Lucy-Fur is the one who calls the demons!

It hasn't been *all* rainy days, just mostly. But there has been some sun, too (just not enough for the lawn to dry out enough for Mom to mow the grass, so if we lose Lucy-Fur, you'll know why!).

"What is Daisy doing?" "I have no idea, Lucy-Fur - she's your sister." "Oh."

I am so not related to those two!

That blue sky wasn't even Photoshopped in - it was real!

Muppet-Dog.

No idea why she took her tiger outside, but I guess when you are Lucy-Fur, you can do whatever you want!

But snow or no snow, we're having fun!

Daisy, as usual, has been spazzing out when the grass appears...

And, of course, it rained this last weekend, so Mom decided to try out some seamless paper as a background. Personally, I thought the paper felt a little funny under my feet, but Mom has these awesome freeze-dried liver snacks, and I can put up with a lot for liver snacks.

The knuckle-heads are also learning how to pose. (Well, sort of. Daisy is a bit of a camera-hog.)

As for me, I'm a natural!

Mom also decided to mess around with a black background for the Black Demon Dog.

Mom has also been helping Dad; he's "getting the band back together" - or at least working on music to play with a band, if not the old band. (Check out his music here: http://garydranowandthemanicemotions.com/music/ and his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwRTw7lkz60 . He's also on Instagram, if you do that sort of thing, and Mom has been getting photos for some posts. Here's his Instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/garydranowandthemanicemotions/ )

Here are a few of the photos Mom has been getting for Dad. She's clearly having fun, even if these photos don't include dogs (although I didn't know such a thing was actually possible...)

Hopefully it won't be another month before you hear from us again! Happy May, and hopefully we won't get too much more snow!

Spring Has Sprung!

If you recall from the last post, our backyard was covered in snow. Well, in the intervening two weeks, Spring has sprung, and our snow is pretty much gone. We've had some warm days, and some colder days, but I think the big snows are behind us.

Which means the youngsters have been enjoying Mud Season! I think Mud Season is a season best enjoyed by the young. Personally, I don't like feeling of mud between my tootsies anymore. Lucy-Fur loves the mud - probably because is stands out so well on her furs!

Apparently Mud Season is also the Official Start of Spring Bitey-Face Training.

I'm not sure how this both-feet-off-the-ground thing works, but as long as they aren't going after me, it's all good, I guess.

Maybe Lucy-Fur just likes levitating.

Or being smooshed on the ground...

And this, I think, is to just avoid having a dental exam at her next vet visit!

But lest you think that while the youngsters are running around in the mud, I am just sitting on the couch. (Well, I do that, too, but not just that...) We've been going on lots of walkies with Mom and Dad.

And I've been doing lots of swimming! This last Friday there was a thunderstorm during my swimming session (I'm not a big fan of thunderstorms - I didn't mind them when I was a wee pup, but now I'm not so keen on them) but because Angela kept throwing the tennis ball, I just kept swimming! (I did try to dig a hole in the carpet later that evening when we had another thunderstorm, but that's another story!)

"Hi, Angela!"

Coming in for massage!

Ahhh! Massage!

Underwater form!

Out for another lap!

Time for more massage!

Lookit those feety-feeties working away!

Coming in for another break!

"Throw the ball already!"

And... more massage time!

Just swimming along with my tennis ball!

Guess what? More massage time!

And... More swimming!

I'm such a super swimmer that I create a wake!

And out again!

Yep! I love my swimming sessions! And you know what? Now that the snow is gone (I don't like the mushy snow when you don't know if you are stepping on firm ground or sinking into deep mushy snow), I have the bouncies! I'm getting nice and strong from the swimming, and so today once Mom get the Crazy Youngsters inside, she and I went out again for some one-on-one tennis ball time.

The youngsters wouldn't be able to catch a ball if it fell into their mouths (well, that's probably the ONLY way Daisy could catch a ball), but I've still got it!
