Honey and Her Toys

When I'm playing with Honey, she loves to grab something, anything at all, and run with it like she shouldn't have it. Sometimes, it really is something she shouldn't have. When I took these photos, she was trying to go after rocks, dried bird poop, more rocks.... Every time she picks up something she shouldn't have, I give her a very distinct "uh-uh" sound, one which I learned from my mom (and one which ALL of my animals know), and she drops it and hunts for something else. Unless it's food. If it's food, no amount of noises is going to stop her. She's taking it and running.

Finally, she located a toy. I love to watch Honey with toys because she runs so fast and wild and usually the toy is larger than she is. So here's some more Honey Gone Wild, this time with a tug of war toy.

She has just picked up the toy and off she goes!

This day was very cold and cloudy, as such a lot of these pictures are blurry. I couldn't use a flash, it just wasn't going to do anything. Without it, my shutter speed was slow, even set on sports. *Sigh*

029

We'll call it artistic blur. Not shown: FFR turning around wildly while snapping pictures and getting dizzy.

033

This really IS artistic blur...but not intentional on my behalf. Keeping it, that was intentional.

I did say it was cold. And I was outside. In short sleeves. And in my requisite flip flops.

Maybe I've gone a little wild,

Crazy Honey

So we've seen Honey in so many forms. She's been dressed up, dressed down, rough housed, pretty, growling...just about anything you can think of, Honey has been seen and photographed. Well now we've got Honey going crazy...again. For probably the hundredth time.


041

Here's Honey. She's cute, sweet, and I love her in B&W High Contrast. It just brings out the black points of her face.


But what you're not seeing are the moments before this sweet face got her photo taken. Side effects from the following post may include: laughter, confusion, tears, and wishing you had a puppy. Please go to your local animal shelter and rescue a puppy if the last symptom persists for more than 24 hours. The moments that follow include but are not limited to:

016

Falling over...


017

Skidding...


024

Ear flapping...


025

And general skidaddlery.


And let's not forget:

026

Levitation!


Happy Saturday all, I hope these side effects weren't too much to handle. See you tomorrow!

FYI: No dogs were harmed in the taking of these photos

Watching Sadie and Honey play, it almost looks like they're actually going to hurt each other. So I disclose to you now that no dogs were hurt while I took these pictures. Do you honestly think I would stand idly by with my camera while someone was getting hurt? I wouldn't...but I'd consider it. Just for a moment. If they were really getting hurt, I wouldn't even consider it...I think.

This last one...it makes me laugh. I love how determined Honey is to get her tongue out there.

What is so interesting?

Begin speculation. What is so interesting? These are blurry because I was trying not to disrupt the intense staring. I don't know what they were staring at.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? I really don't know. You think about this and you let me know.

I dunno...

Exhaustion

It overtakes me. Every night, I wake up at least once or twice a night. Usually around 3 or 4 in the morning and around 5 or 6. It's rare I spend the whole night asleep. Last night, I did. I woke up at 7am this morning in the same place I fell asleep. I looked at the clock FOUR times to make sure that was the time. It seemed too dark, plus the bed was the same as when I went to bed. I thought maybe Working Man had not come to bed yet and somehow I couldn't see the clock right or I was seeing an alarm time or something. But I looked up at the DVD player and it was off, meaning Working Man had come to bed and it was indeed morning.

So yes...exhaustion. Apparently it overtook me. On the bonus side, I'm off tomorrow and Sunday. Of course...I need to do laundry tomorrow...and probably Sunday too. At least it's not everyday yet. I hear when you have kids this turns into an everyday thing. Help. It frightens me. I think...I think, I'm going to have a million of everything so I do not have to do laundry everyday. So besides diapers...you know what I'll be looking for when the time for a baby shower comes around.

I also hear that exhaustion is abundant and the ability to sleep for 8 hours without moving becomes impossible. This frightens me too. I like my sleep. I really like my sleep.

Although, I'm not going to worry about it. I have Working Man for help.

Did you know, if you get Lucy's attention and point your finger, she walks that direction? It's pretty cool. Just thought you should know.
