Sequences

I'm not sure how she pulls this off even though I have evidence of it. The camera shoots 3 frames per second and Kate is making the most of it.

Got it in the cross hairs

Got it on the lipsMiss altogether (this is Kate, right?) while twisting one wayLand in the opposite direction. Me no get.
How Bella loses a ball
I see you

Still see you

Umm, wait a secDang
How to ruin a shot by Kate

Step 1: Way over-run the ball giving mom a clear shot of BellaStep 2: Make sure to haul butt back to the action just in time to be intheway

Flappy Lips

I hope to hell I don't look like this when I run. :-)

The Sun Is Out

And that makes Kate want to sing!And singAnd perhaps sing a little moreOMG, alright already! Um, Kate? If you shut your pie hole for a sec you may even catch a ballOr...maybe...not...She even lost this one. Seriously. OK, maybe stick to the singing.

Bella 5.0

Someone has a birthday today! And, since it's pouring outside with 35 mph winds Bella is getting a day off for her birthday. Happy napping my most perfect dog!

A Ball-free Dog Park Day

Occasionally, I try to attempt to get my dogs to act like dogs. It usually backfires, but I keep trying. In the absence of airborne spheres, Bella attempts to chat with the locals.

You're so tiny...you would totally fit in a Chuck-it!

Excuse me, we're havin' a conversation over here

When several attempts to talk someone into throwing something fail, they resort to playing, which, in their case means Bella gets the zoomies for about 3.5 seconds while Kate barks at her.

Oooohhhh, lookie what I found?

Oh, come on, just one toss? We were social. We acted like dogs. What more do you want?

Never get into a staring contest with a Border Collie. Always a loss.

New Lens = Dog Torture

Oh no, here we go again

Maybe if I just stop moving she'll go awayFat chanceOh come, now. You get a new lens and we have to do cookie face? This sucks!

This really sucks!

Oh, two now? Aren't you clever.

You get two...I get a ginormous one. She's really thinks she's funny.Cookie feeties, too?

Yeah, I got your "wait" right here, lady.

Love/Hate Relationships

I hate you , Meatball!!! 'Cause you're not in my belly!

Maybe I can give this one more try...

No, no, you've rolled out on me one too many times. You can no longer be trusted.I'll love you, Meatball

I'll worship the ground you roll on

Whisper sweet nothings in your ear. If you had one.Mwah. Love you, Meatball.

Thanks Parks and Rec!

So, our dog park has been closed for repairs for 2 months. Twice as long as originally planned, but who's counting? It used to look like this...

But now, after all that hard work, it looks like this!

That's right folks, we got...[drum roll]... new dirt. WTF? Maybe it's new-fangled dirt? Space-age polymer dirt? iDirt?

Kate is not buying it. I think she feels ripped off, as I'm sure her pads will feel after a few days on the iDirt.

Bella was equally miffed.

After we got our complaining out of the way, we managed to back into the dog park swing.

Kate, you got a little something on your...nevermind...

She was so happy to get out of the house and see the sun she busted out a little Soulja Boy

Superman!!!!

5 o'clock - time for dinner!
