Bailey, Our New Dog or Why I am up late at night

Bailey is, as were are told, an Australian Shephard/Labrador Retriever Mix.  What I do know is that she has freakishly huge paws, a penchant for licking faces, and a mighty strong dislike for nighttime crate training.  We got her through the Double Dog Rescue and she originally hails from Tennesse where apparently no one spays or nueters their pets nor takes in unwanted ones as Bailey arrived on a truck with many other dogs, puppies to adults, hoping for a better homelife in Connecticut.

Friday In Photos

Yawn!

Good morning!

Ugly Duckling

This is how I sometimes feel when I look in the mirror.

Attack Swan

It could totally kick my ass.

Not Me!

Ok, if you didn’t then who did?

The Office

Back to work.

From Saturday to Monday

Hosta
Saturday morning I noticed that our hostas are finally in bloom.

Slober
After packing everyone up into two cars we drove over to the dog park in Granby.

Nibble and Watch
Peri wasn’t the only one having fun, Gabi was enraptured with the dogs watching them for three hours occasionally cheering them on as they chased each other about.

Refreshments
Playing is thirsty work.

The Entertainer
We had such a good time on Saturday that we repeated it on Sunday and this little guy took it upon himself to keep Gabi amused with his antics.

Dropped like a sack of potatoes.
After a busy weekend we got up this morning to this sight.

Back Seat Self
This is what I do Monday through Friday: ride in the back and take pictures.

He Watches.

Favorite Portraits

In the scant twenty-four hours that I have had this camera I’ve managed to squeeze off some 500+ shots. While most have been pure crap occasionally some really sweet and candid pictures have emerged. Below are three of my favorites that we are having printed as 8×10’s to hang on the wall.

Mother, Daughter, and Duck

Taken this morning just a couple of minutes before Gabi’s four month inoculation shots.

Wondering

Taken while waiting at a light on the ride to the doctor’s office.

Run The Red Leash

Taken while we surged down one of the neighborhood streets to reach the schoolyard before the lacrosse game had ended.
