paw prints, manatees & fishin' ditty


did you know i have a pair of black reading glasses with white paw prints all over them AND & And i have a pair of black sox with white paw prints all over them. i wear them at the same time. who does that? you've heard of purses matching shoes. but glasses matching sox? i'm amazing & sometimes i’m really full of myself.



does he have the cutest butt you ever saw? and lucas’s isn’t bad either. honestly, i do love dog butts (& my hubby’s). so does robin adams (again i have to add parenthesis, ‘cause i don’t know if she admires chris's butt, but i do know she loves dogs’ butts.) check out this photo if you don’t believe me or THIS photo. she knows amazing butts when she sees 'em!


i have always been nervous to be in my kayak when the manatees were around - i thought they might tip me over & mistake me for hay & eat me. (birds try to peck my hair because they think it’s grass or something - [as if i could ever know what those mean spirited, evil intentioned, carnivorous birds are thinking...ok, i’m afraid of the birds, all sizes, i’ll just admit it. my slanderous words stem from fear FEAR, i’m fraught with fear of our feathered “friends”]) good news, i’m not fraught with fear of the sea cows any more. i love those pig nosed big grey softies. they are gorgeous.

to see the scars and wounds on these beautiful giants, even on the babies' backs, made me so sad & almost ashamed. i wanted to apologize. i think we were forgiven our human-ness. they loved swimming around the kayaks (if they had tails, they would have been wagging!) and came up to sniff - so amazingly trusting. chris said their breath smelled like fresh mowed grass. i can’t wait to let them get close enough so i can smell their breath.



we are waiting for ditto’s life jacket to come in. we had to order the extra small. i hope it looks ok under her fishing vest ‘cause we can’t cover that thing up. if she goes on daddy’s kayak she’ll help catch fish, if she goes on mommy’s, she’ll just look cute.

last week of august 2009 - in 2 parts

1a rain for 36 hours
2a great friend of mojo’s backyard euthanized. we will miss you, jake.
3a bit/bruised by my own dog on the tender parts of my left arm (inside part of my elbow - ouch)
4a muddy white shirts for our photo shoot (yes, plural)
5a boxer puppy found stumbling down road in brunswick georgia with throat intentionally slit open, literally from ear to ear
6a sen kennedy dies
7a 9 dogs at my house for a photo shoot and 1 puncture wound delivered by my crazy big hound dog. lucas was a butt.
8a mojo ate one of chris’s fishing gloves last night.
her tally for the month: 1 boat shoe (the neighbor's), aunt tee tee’s favorite flip flop, 1croc sandal belonging to the photographer we love, 1 of daddy’s favorite oxfords, 1 backpack (only the leather ties and straps), 3 pairs of underwear, all with the same story - waist band: intact. crotch: nowhere to be found) & the glove. if the glove is bit i will not acquit.
meet elvis, Lucas's evil twin(3a)
1b green green trees/grass, bright flowers, cool weather, high rivers to float kayaks down with our great friends susan & jim.
2b peaceful passing with loved ones close by, no more suffering
3b note to self: do not break up dog altercations using my body. it is my temple (ahem...i have 5 copies of this same note to self. will i ever learn?)
4b great photos with an honest touch of dog dirt; methinks if you’re a dog, having fun has very little to do with staying clean
5b puppy healing well physically. learning to trust & play again; for every evil-doer there are hundreds of big open hearted loving tender humans. barc people rule!
6b health care reform is in the spotlight even more. it was his mission. it will be his legacy
7b dinner with 2 of the best people we know, with some of the best lasagna i’ve ever had!
8b it’s a sign to start going green & stop buying leather. or maybe it’s a sign to keep this crap out of her reach!!
