Daughter and Mother

Roxy, now two years old, is here visiting for a few days. This afternoon, she and Emo tried to decide who was the most ball crazy. One moment it would be Emo.

Mother and Daughter

Then next, it would be Roxy.

Chase!

They chased.

Race Away

And raced to see who could get to the ball first.

Race Back

And who could get back with it first.

Catch

Emo caught.

Bounce

Roxy bounced.

Roxanne and Emo

Like mother, like daughter!

Run for Joy

Because my son is home for spring break from ECU, Locke is also home. They leave again in the morning, so I took advantage of the chance today to take him out for a run, along with Acey and Emo. Although you can’t tell it in the photos, spring has almost sprung here in NC … things are blooming, the breezes blowing and the temperatures awesome. I think the dogs enjoyed it!

Beautiful BoDee ... loves a lady who is, alas, unavailable ....

Risk is in season and BoDee is lovelorn … poor fellow! It’s hard to be the man of the pack, sometimes ….

It’s all I could think of when Ziva found herself a bumble-bee yesterday (or maybe it was one of the rogue killer bees that are destroying the honey-bee hives … I’m really no expert on bees) but the resulting photos were precious!

What is it? It buzzes!

I've got to check this out!

Definitely very interesting!

Maybe I should put my paw on it!

Perhaps we can play together!

It moved away!

It's playing hide and seek!

It hides ...

I seek!

Maybe now we can play!

Mom, will you stop flashing that camera? I'm busy!

This is a strange creature!

But not to worry, I've got my paw on it!

And I have a very capable paw!

Tag, You're It!

It Was Fun, Mom!

Her “buddy” in these photos is Katharine’s other Aussie, Scout. Katharine has been very generous in sending photos; these are the most recent, but as I slowly get my “act” back together sans nine puppies, I will be posting the older ones here as well! Enjoy!

Tucker’s new owner did not tell her sister that she had purchased a puppy, so when she showed up with him at their family Easter gathering, he was quite a hit!

Look What I Have!

Children are cool!

I've go places to go ....

People to see ....

And lots to say!

But most of all, I love my mommy!
