Sweet Shot & Project Happy

Joining in some linky fun...

this little guy certainly qualifies as sweet and makes me so very happy.
(Unless he's been digging.)
Ozzy is constantly cracking us up.
I'm amazed at how he has won me over...I was the one saying
"I'm SO not a cocker-spaniel type person".
Mutts are my "breed" of choice.

My absence here was due to post-holiday funk,
a new camera which required new editing software and
SIX, yes 6, straight days inside with two children.
The ice storm of 2011 made me understand
why some species eat their young.

Sweet Shots with Lulu &Ozzy

This was to be some shots of our girl...

who loves to braid her hair and wear silly bands.

When someone insisted he be part of the shoot.
Ballsy little thing, isn't he?


He has wiggled himself right into our hearts.

Ozzy & Sweet Shot Tuesday

Another new challenge to me...
Sweet Shot Tuesday.

I decided to use Ozzy.
And because this was sweet.
It stopped this family of four in its tracks.

You see we've never had a vertically challenged dog before now.
Never had one that needed a little boost to see
the squirrels and chipmunks outside.

So, the Oz-man decided to prop himself up with his
catcher's mitt-sized paws and look.

Thanks for visiting and be sure to visit here for more Sweet Shots!

Grrrr!

HOLE? WHAT HOLE?
I didn't see any hole out there.
Why does everybody look at me when a new hole appears?
I'm hurt.


Can you see the dirt on the top of his head?
Can you see the dirt at the bottom of his ears?

Apparently, you are supposed to give dogs a "job".
Otherwise, they give themselves a job
and its usually not good thing.
Chipmunk hunting for Ozzy...not a good job.
Hmm.

Anyone seen my mimosa?

Beauty and (a cute) Beast

Today's post is brought to you as part of Elk and Gayle's Pet Parade.

Ella is dignified, patient and a bit spoiled.
She should be - she had a rough start and spent too much
time as a rescue waiting for a home.

My kids imitate how I talk to her.
"Momma wuvs you! Yes, she does!"
I care not one bit, mind you.


And then there is Ozzy...


He has been with us for over two weeks now.
And we have learned some things about the Oz-Man.

1. Occasionally, he howls in his sleep.

2. He has become quite enamored with Ella.
Doesn't everyone?
He, however, tries to mount her.

3. He looks out the window and barks at everyone and everything
moving along our street.

4. In an attempt to smell Ella and her business,
he has been peed on.

5. His ears are so long, they hit the water in the bowl way
before his tongue reaches it.

And speaking of his tongue...

6. The tip of his tongue sticks out of his closed mouth while
he sleeps. And sometimes stays this way even
after he has woken up.
(This is not a good look for anyone...not even a cute poochie.)

(Okay, maybe it's a little cute.)

Feel free to join the Pet Parade here!

And because animal lovers should stick together, I'm providing
the link to a wonderful photographer, Joy.
She is offering a fabulous set of textures for a very
reasonable price here at her site.
They are called "Maggie's Textures" because they are
being sold to help pay for her
sweet Maggie's vet bills.

Thanks for visiting!
