The Morning Crew

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

Since it’s a no work day, we all hung around long enough for the light to arrive this morning.

There are the familiar faces

And the not so…

Thunder

And brother Ryder

The red-heads, Rusty and Kalman

Who prefer to be photographed sans Husky, thankyouverymuch :-)

Kosmo

And sister Maddie

Who’s favorite hobby is passing judgment

“Seriously, Vizsla? Ruining my shot?”

“Oh, and now you, too?!”

“Sheesh”

Are you noticing the trend here? Everyone has to have matching dogs.

  I think it’s the law or something.

Little Brutus didn’t have a match

Until a few weeks ago

Baby monkey dog Cali!

“Take her back!”

Sorry, Brutus.  You know, dog law and all.

Enjoy your holiday American-type folks!

She's So Cute When She Tries To Act Like A Border Collie

Right?

Look at her.

All serious and full of thought and hunchy

Well, I guess we all know better, yes?

Still, I enjoy those 1/1000 of a second wherein the scarecrow meets the wizard

Lure Screaming

We went to a fun match a few weeks back.  We're all Agility Serious like that.  I went under the guise of working on Bella's weaves and getting Kate some indoor practice.

All lies.

We went because they did lure coursing in the afternoon. 

Lure coursing with the addition of my favorite dog photog: Dave Mills

Can't pass that up.

Have I mentioned that Kate likes to scream while lure coursing?

That she doesn't tend to pay much attention and just runs like the wind and later realizes that Bella has actually turned?

At least someone is paying attention

Even if it is in a slightly creepy, crazy person kinda way

Too much speed and not enough processing power

Good thing her breaks work

That is our dear Kate

And we get to course again this weekend!

If you are in Northern California and you hear

WoooOOOOwwwoooOOWooooiiiiiiiiiiiii

on Sunday morning, that would be us.

Sorry.

Some Things Don't Change...Except The Clocks...You Did Change Your Clock, Yes?

I like routines. Totally dig sameness. It’s nice that even though we are all getting older and lumpier, some things just keep on rolling.

Like…

Kate’s crappy timing

My crappy timing

Bella’s lack of crappy anything (with the obvious exception of the weaving of the poles)

Except, perhaps, her attitude

Kate’s inability to stand still for more than 1.5 seconds

Bella’s inability to move

The Kateness, it is alive and well!

In all its ball missing glory

And why is it when I order new cam equip it is nice and warm and sunny but when it actually arrives it’s crappy and rainy and cold…? No fair!

We do have a teeny bit of sun this morning. Guess I should get my daylight change loving lazy heiny out before the clouds come back.

Maybe I can get some of these today that are actually in focus!

Happy Sleeping In Day, Y’all!
