When I Work in the Living Room...

...This ALWAYS happens.

Peek-a-boo!  Are you done yet?

Foot in Mouth

Or is that foot on mouth?

What?  It's comfy!

Nose to Nose

Staring contest!

I lose.

But I still get kisses!

Duck Duck Goose!

Took Molly for a long walk around the lake the other day.  There was a large flock of geese (with a few ducks) on the hill above the walkway where Molly loves to run.  I wondered how the geese and Molly would react to each other.  As soon as we climbed to the hill, the geese walked or flew down to icy lake and skated over the ice to swim in the water.  Molly enjoyed watching them for a few seconds before investigating other smells.  I was left to dodge goose dung on the ground everywhere. 

Why'd you leave?  

Special skate time for webbed footed creatures only!

Book Haul

*drool*

Here is my book haul from visiting the used bookstore (McKay's) last weekend. Thanks Carmen for the extra credit for books!

Included:

Angel: After the Fall #4 (graphic novel)
8 books from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga
6 old Patricia Wrede books (including a paper copy of Sorcery & Cecilia that I'm giving Pat)
4 C.L.Wilson fantasy novels (Lord of the Fading Lands series)
2 Gail Carrier Parasol Protectorate novels (I just read Soulless and it was so much better than I remembered!)
5 Linnea Sinclair novels (woohoo - space opera romance!)
2 Kristin Cashore novels (Graceling series)
Sara Creasy - Song of Scarabaeus  (more space fun!)

I still have some credit yet - will have to go back in a few months.  OH TOO BAD

Love Virginia Mountains!

So soothing...

Above was the view from Molly's and my car ride - walk excursion - Just a couple miles from my house.   I love all the jet streams in the air.  I love seeing the mountains so clearly.  I wish the housing plans had taken this view into consideration so more people could see it.

Something MORE

As is our typical morning routine, I gave Molly her Bow Bone stuffed with turkey in cheese.  After finishing half of it she whined at me that she wanted something MORE. But failed to declare what that something MORE was.  

So we howled together.  That seemed to help a bit, but she still wanted something MORE.

So I got up and made sure that the cheese was close to the edge on her toy and after a few licks, she looked at me again and wanted something MORE.

So I stood in front of her and she sat up and I danced and tried to get her to hug.  She looked at me like I was crazy, stood up, walked a few steps, then turned her head and said she still wanted something MORE.  

So I danced around her, scratching her back and petting her as I went round and round, singing to her.  Molly looked at me with a look that said, Okay, maybe something LESS.

So I sat down back to work and Molly sniffed at her bone, considered the couch and made me open the balcony door.  The sun wasn't out so that wasn't an option yet.  So after a considering look at me, she laid down and licked her Bow Bone again.  

Apparently that was enough MORE.  For now.
