There are few things in this world that Lucy loves better than “ball”.  One of them is going for a ride, which is serious business!  Wanna know how I know?  Take a look at her ears; see how they’re all plastered back and stuck to her head? We call those her “business ears” because whenever she’s wearing them like that, she means business!

However, since we have typical Oregon weather 11 months out of the year when it is more or less any one of 23 types of raining outside, we felt it was high time to get the girl some decent eye protection so she could stick her nose into the wind like a proper dog ought to be able to…even when the rain is pelting her in the face at 52 mph (which is about as fast as our 1994 Suburban gas-hog can run these days, lol).

Fortunately for Lucy, today is filled with sunshine.  Good thing her “doggles” are also sunglasses.  *heart*

Just testing something here…let’s see how badly technology can confound me. *grin*

ETA: Yeah! It worked!!! I have won the battle of “new-device” vs “old-human”! I feel strangely triumphant…and maybe a tad bit overconfident! Good times. Good times. ;)

Clearly Lucy has views about my abilities.  More likely she’s probably thinking “Would you stop with the damn camera already? Sheesh!” but how can I stop?  SHE’S SO FREAKING CUTE!  I mean just look at that face!  I just know she’s got views on politics.  It’s not all about Squirrel and Ball and Food. She’s got concerns man. SERIOUS. CON. CERNS.  Mostly centered around when her next trip to the park will be…but still, concerns.  Also, and you may not know this about Lucy, she is an intrepid snail-hunter (I will be subjecting you to a video proving this soon).

That’s all for now.  Seems my hiatus may be coming to an end.

…today is one of those days. That is all.

Why do you ask? Heh.

…quite like the joy of a dog.  :)

Oh…to be so carefree and full of abandon.  I think I’m totally jealous!!! LOL! :D

Too much fun… *grin*

We’d been discussing it for a few days.  We’d been needing to go for a loooooong time.  So, when Saturday came around and we saw that there was a lovely break in the weather, we packed up the truck and headed to the North Jetty.  Even the sun came out to play for a while (and that is no small feat in February, in Oregon!).  More pics to follow, including my “blown away” series.  ;)

Loving God, we thank you for
the example of St Nicholas,
who fed the hungry,
brought hope to the imprisoned,
gave comfort to the lost,
and taught the truth to all.
May we strive to imitate him
by putting you first in all we do.
Give us the courage, love and strength
of St Nicholas, so that, like him,
we may serve you through loving
our brothers and sisters.  Amen.

The Real St. Nicholas
