I'm Still Standing!

Cue the Elton John music! (And if you don't know the song, get thee to YouTube!)

Mom has been totally slacking on the bloggie thing; she keeps making excuses about how she has more photos that she needs to go through, but I have finally put my paw down; do a bloggie post already - sort through the photos later.

*sheesh*

Anyhoo, as I said, I'm still standing! And swimming. And walking. And napping!

With this whole pandemic thingy, Mom has been working from home this last week, and I won't lie, it's nice to be able to keep an eye on her while she's doing this 'work' thing (that seems to consist of lots of typing on the computer and scribbling things in a notebook....).  But I'm making sure she's doing whatever she's supposed to be doing....

Being a supervisor is HARD work!
But when Mom finally stops working for the day, there are all sorts of funballs things, like lots of swimming time!


This is my big stretch to grab the ball!

"Hard to starboard, Mr. Sulu!"

Firing up the warp engines!

I *always* get my tennis ball! (Except when it goes into the deep end of the pool and I can't see it!)

And I'm off again!

Kicky feet!

I could do this all day long!



I'm also going on lots of walkies!

This was the beginning of March!

This was this weekend!

So was this!
This was a short walk this week, to give Mom a short break from her work stuff.
And lots of walkies means lots of snoozling!




And Mom was taking lots of photos of me and the Crazy Sisters before our snow started to melt.




Let's face it, I totally rock the steampunk look!



When we still had decent snow the youngsters were doing their Crazy Dog thing....

"Hey, um Daisy, did I break you?"

Getting ready to pounce!

Snow zoomies!

Snow roaching!
And bitey-face, of course...






Which brings us to the sign our Uncle Ralph sent us.

I think it should also say "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."
And Mom has also just gotten some fun photos of us!





Hi! I like freeze dried tripe snacks. I *know* you have some!

Floofy face!









I could add about a gazillion more photos, but Mom has to go to bed so she can get up and make the long commute upstairs to work, so I'll pause it here for now!

Have fun and be healthy!

In Which Mom Gets New Props and We Get Snacks

Mom felt the need to add to her supply of photography props, and was in a steampunk mode.  (She's been listening to the 'Leviathan' series; I think we're probably lucky she wasn't listening to a Zane Grey novel!)

Anyway, we were the test-dummies with her new props.  Needless to say, there were lots (and lots!) of snacks involved.

But I make a rather dashing airship captain if I do say so myself!


"Great Scott!"

Hmmm. I think Daisy's been huffing the helium again!


In addition to the google, Mom got a mini hat, which, shockingly, fits us all just fine! Mom says I look like a 'Boffin'.  Apparently that's a good thing. I think I look rather stunning!



Mom was having fun playing around with different editing styles, too.


Daisy looks a bit less airship captain and more post-apocalyptic snow dog....


Believe it or not, this is a slightly different photo from the first one - Daisy is just very snack-oriented when it comes to bribes!

With a little extra editing, she's ready to audition for the next Mad Max movie!
As for Lucy-Fur, um, I'm not quite sure what look she's going for, but whatever she was going for, I think she pulls it off!

"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

She definitely wears the hat with style!

Heehee!

Even without the goggles Daisy's got a slight apocalyptic look to her!

In case you were curious, Mom used her 16-28mm lens for all the photos, so she thought she'd get a group photo (and we wanted our post-photo session snacks!)


So yeah, Mom maybe has lost her mind a bit, but we really like the snacks.  And now Mom is on the hunt for more inexpensive dog-sized steampunk gear. I'm placing an order with Chewy.com on her behalf so she has enough snacks for us!

Have a great week!
