ode to ma' balls

i'm losing my marbles tomorrow.
not the ones in my head.

mama's kind of sad, so she took a bunch of photos of them today. and then, as if that weren't humiliating enough, she posted them on this blog. good lord.

sigh. i feel bad for the human children in her future.

seriously?

here's what my mom needs to learn:
1) yes, my nose is cute but it doesn't have to be the main subject of every single photograph
2) if she DOES make it the subject of every single photograph, she should not post all of them on this stupid blog

...she'll never learn.

still have my special toy

...and it still smells like my mom and littermates. when my sister saw it last week, i could tell she smelled them too.

this is my "watching american idol" spot

there's some real talent on the show this year.

donut posish

this is my donut posish. for obvious reasons.

falling...falling...falling...

getting so used to this never-ending photo sesh that i can finally fall asleep...

BIRD! THERE'S A BIRD OUTSIDE THE WINDOW! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD!

sphinx

...only more noble and wise.

mom got a new lens

...so...that's annoying. for me.

back from out of town

here was my home away from home. it was great. i was silent as an easter bunny on the airplane ride and i slept here every night with zero complaints. my mom says i'm above average.

puppy piiiiiiiile!

you can't tell where one puppy starts and the other ends...but that's the way it should be when we're having a puppy party.







(but for reference, that's my sister olive on the left, then lucy is the dark beauty in the back, and i'm over on the right)

armful of puppehs

my uncle jesse figured out how to pick all three of us up at once. that's olive in the middle. lucy and i were a little bit distracted.



until someone pulled out a treat, that is.

flying a kite

in addition to being reunited with my sister last week, i met lucy. she and i have an arranged marriage (according to my mother). lucy is four weeks younger than me, and a poodle mix. i love her.

this was the first time for us puppies to see the beach.

olive looooved the kite tails:

but lucy and i stuck together because we're in love.

...then olive got a hold of the kite, which was hilarious.

lucy came to help her out. doesn't she look smashing in her fleece vest?

then lucy got a little tangled up so daddums and i came to the rescue. my little damsel in distress.

burrito

have to make burritos when it's time to give medicine. the cutie on the left is olive, my real sister! we were reunited last week and it was great, except sometimes i had to hump her because neither of us is fixed. my parents were NOT happy about that.

grammy

...and you can see uncle barkis there in the lower left, too.

mother, i'm getting very tired of you taking photos of me.

having a chew

nothing can stop me from this delicious chew.

extreme close-up

expressive eyes + button nose + equilateral triangle ears = ultimate cuteness
