A Day at the Pool

Clementine swimming.

Swim slow, sweet Clementine....

A decade ago.

(what is happening with time?)

Waiting

Sue said Bounce was waiting for me to come back inside from grilling.

He eventually fell asleep.

Another Nemesis

Shirley would bite this one if she could only see it!

Low rider

Sometimes it sucks to be low to the ground!

Hypnotizing Chickens

Sue put his frisbee on him and he became hypnotized

and did not move at all.

Hi Renae!

Tora Bora

Bounce pretends he's in a cave.  

(He slept extremely well in this set up.)

On the steps

This seems like a good place to sit for a while...

Why are you laughing at me?

Autumnal Saturday Afternoon Nap Time

It takes Shirley a while to warm up to people.

Plus it's a perfect day to lay on the couch with a blanket and watch TV.

In the way.

Somebody doesn't understand the importance of the Kitchen Work Triangle.

Now?

Now?

The Household

Two Sick, One Injured, One Innocent.

And here's the goof.  Dealing with a toe injury and frustrated.

Muzzled

But I didn't say it!  Shirley said it!

Canonical List Of Resting Spots, the short list

The best places to sleep, alphabetically.

S:    Shower;  Step.

Shopping Spree

Bunny:  "Bounce, let's get a new frisbee. I know you sit in the front seat.  Do you drive?"

Late at Night

When one goes to bed two or

three hours later than everybody

else, this is the type of scene one

comes across.

Go Around!

Go faster!

Go right.  Right!

Go around!  

We can catch them.

Faster.

Turn now!

Possum

They're coming Bounce!  Play dead!

1st RULE: You do not talk about SLEEP OVERS.

2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about SLEEP OVERS.


3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the sleep over is over.  (Exception: Gregg Loomis.)


4th RULE: Only two guys to a sleep over.  


5th RULE: One sleep over at a time.  But Shirley can come too.


6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes, no leashes.  Collars optional.


7th RULE: Sleep overs will go on as long as they have to.  Or until Shirley eats the rest of the French doors to the back yard.


8th RULE: If this is your first night at SLEEP OVERS, you HAVE to sleep over.

Tangled Up Blue (Merle)

Entangled, and yet completely comfortable, staring at those who are still enjoying their meal.

I think there's something down there!

A visit to the groomer

Somebody is extremely happy to be in 

and out of the groomer's in ten minutes.  

No torture chamber for the goof.

Getting into position

... and the battle begins!

ZZ Top

He likes legs

He knows how

to squeeze them

The Goof on the bridge

I know you're down there you miserable bastards.

I can smell you from here.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

We're going to the store!  All the way to the store! 

We're gonna buy some food and bring it home!

Barstools

The boy has grabbed onto the leg of a barstool at the kitchen island to make sure

that if anybody get's up, he's fully aware and may get some errant food particles.


(per Facebook:: Hello Dawn!}

The door to fun

The boy positions himself by the front door,

waiting for the good times to begin.  

Unaware that outside it is 310º (feels like 335º!)

He is having wonderful dreams of all

of his friends visiting.

Fashion Accessories

New holder for the tags, new leash....

Baby Tree Frog

Even Shirley couldn't see this one.

It's about a half inch long.

Ruthless

Ruth takes the stand to accept the medal for Swimming Champion!

Gridlock

$2.00 Fine

Somebody was fined $2.00 for pooping in the one part of the yard where

I do the Diamond Cut, like at a baseball park.  Right there.  In the glory.

He has no money.  Most of his money was left in the driveway.

But the rest of it he lost betting with the Goof over a game of Fish.

Shirley's Birthday

"Bounce, it's MY birthday, I get shotgun!"

"But I don't know how to get down from the front seat."

Shirley turned 12 on June 20th.  She had a pretty lousy day filled with

thunderstorms, lightning, etc.  She celebrated today.

Poor pitiful me.

Bounce is pretending to be very sick and frail so that he can

get some free food and some pets.   He's also depressed because

he got a One Dollar fine for racing to the door, plus Shirley 

fined him twenty five cents for dropping the frisbee and then

another fine, a really bad one, one dollar and ten cents for 

pooping in the wrong part of the yard.  He hates that one.

Method acting taught by Lee Strasberg's dog - "Frisky".

Chained

One would have to look closely at the photo, because it's difficult to see.

Shirley, in the foreground, is tied up to a 15 pound dumbbell.

Bounce, in the background, has his leash attached.  He's not

attached to anything.  But he doesn't know that.  To him, the leash is

the attachment.  So he stays put.  He won't move or wander.

It's pretty amazing.  And Shirley.... she will push her boundaries

whenever she can.  The darn goof!

Shirley:  "Did you see that snake????"

Bounce:  "Aaackkk!!!!"

"Are we ready?"

"Just one more minute."

Film Noir

Are they gonna leave us here?

Bounce:  "Shirley, are they leaving us here?"

Shirley:  "Goddang squirrels!"

Blue

It seems like I have yet to acclimate to the altitude.

I get so tired after playing.

Manna from Heaven

Dateline:   Somewhere outside of Wyoming.

The Boy is so tired he doesn't notice chunks of hamburger lying in front of him until I touch the brakes
prior to exiting the Interstate.

He awoke and couldn't believe his good fortune!

The Dude goes fly fishing.

His slippers smell so good.

He's probably got on his robe 

and is nursing a "Caucasian."
