Too cute aka I can’t help myself

Aside from the fact that he is just so darn cute, when he’s sleeping I have a chance to get a photo that is in focus.

Sound asleep.

I mean really… I can’t help myself.

The sweet feet.

BTW, he is VERY good about his claws. Even in play, I have only a few incidental scratches. The exception is if I’m on the phone and walking around, he will climb my legs to get my attention. Since I tend to wear thinnish knit pants and you need claws out to climb – ouch! But, I’m wise to him now and mostly remember to sit down :) !

He wakes up with a bit of bed head.

But one head shake and all the tufts fall into place. Wish that worked for me…

***I’ve given up trying to get stills of Bear and Auggie playing and have had the camera in movie mode inside and out this week. Hopefully over the weekend, I’ll edit and be able to share that. They are so funny together. Mr. Bear who has not really been a “play with others” dog, has been dropping one of his huge fleece toys on Auggie to start a play time. Auggie often flies at Bear… at his head, bottom, tail – sometimes just over him with legs akimbo. Wish I could catch it all but I’d need cameras all over the house!

Tuesday bits

It was 50F this afternoon.

The sun was in and out.

The snow is gone…mostly.

It is forecast to start getting cold, but with no precipitation, i.e. cold and clear.

The light is spectacular.

The light(s) of my life.

Tuesday bits.

Pecan Pie shortbread and the ramifications of hunting

I like Pecan Pie.

I like a small sliver of Pecan Pie…more than a sliver is too rich, too sweet … for me.

I saw Sue of The View from Great Island’s Pecan Pie Shortbread .

I don’t have a tart pan but I DO have a springform pan…why, I’m not sure as I’m not a fan of cheesecake which is the usual springform pan thing…

Not as pretty as a tart pan…

But taste was not affected at all.

re the ramifications of hunting…as I was preparing this post, there was a commotion in the living room…and a mostly dead mouse…

Bear and Auggie were upset.

Bear was the mouser.

Still.

Death is upsetting – even to natural hunters. We all sat and I tried to assure both that we definitely needed to keep mice and voles and other rodents OUTSIDE. For all of our health’s sake. But, I do understand their upset. And I am glad that neither take death lightly.

Three of us

Three of us.

I love this three.

I also miss Karl and Bob, Zack and Gus. Every day, I miss them all.

Bob… I still… it is still hard.

But.

Bear, Auggie and me: we are together now and we are family and I love us.

Everybody loves a fort

When my brother and I were kids, our mother made a cover for a card table to be our fort. It had a door.

I got tired of pulling the rug over the footstool so occasionally throw a sheet over it.

Everybody loves a fort!
