june, why dontcha stay around a while

how is june almost over? time seems to slip away so quickly these days. and it makes me feel kind of old. with a third of the summer about over, i feel slightly panicked to do everything i wanted to do while out of school. so far my days have been filled with lots of book reading, music exploration, photography projects and puppy time.
i don't mean to brag, but i basically have the greatest dog that ever was. he is a crazy little beast of a creature. i am happy to announce i am treats away from zig having a new trick down. i'm pretty excited for this one... ziggy's learning to dance. once he's had more chance to practice i'll try and capture the magic on video. i had more or less accepted the fact i was a slightly creepy dog person, until i recently met a lady at a park who blew my crazy dog love out of the water. i love my dog, but am very aware of the difference between a pet and a child. ...i think.

ziggy stardust has become quite the swimmer! the snorts he makes while paddling away are quite possibly the funniest sounds ever made by anything in water

zig has total small dog syndrome. he likes to be up as high as possible, even if it means sacrificing his comfort

which he often does.

last week i was pet sitter extraordinaire! b. alexander and our friend daniel went to bend for the weekend leaving their pets dog bauer, and cats sammy & ukko in my care-- along with k'ninja, c & k's dog, who were house hunting in Tennesse. it was pet party central!

i'm pretty sure k'ninja is not a dog, but a muppet character. making her better than a dog. i half expect a small person to unzip and step out of k'ninja at any moment. if i didn't like her owners so much i might consider dog napping her.

bauer longbottom. cutest hound there ever was.


puppy kisses!


and so this is not a post of only dog pictures, which would be no help at all with my claim to being a sane dog owner...



presenting!

my champion killer mystery bruise! this gigantic bruise appeared out of nowhere a couple days ago. it hasn't hurt a bit, but boy oh boy has it had some beautiful color schemes! i must take after my grandma and mother, cuz i aint no sissy.

what you've been missing out on: a joke dirty diaper. shouldn't we all own one?

a local radio show was talking about this gem the other day. you probably weren't aware your toilet paper was so archaic! you can thank me later for the enlightenment.
