Cover Girl

Leeloo and Halo like to be covered by a blanket when they sleep, Raimi does too but he gets hot really fast so I don't usually cover him completely. Often they settle for just their heads jammed into a small space if there isn't a blanket available but the other night the temperature was low and I felt sorry for them.

8 Legged Freaks

Usually on the couch there is a mish mash of dogs which makes it hard to tell which part belongs to which dog.

Occassionally, when a foot is jabbing you in the kidney, you have to feel your way up the leg to figure out who owns the toes bruising your internal organs. If the foot is white it's a matter of simple deduction.

They also seem to be made of rubber ... or perhaps while you're sleeping they practice with Cirque du Soliel to keep their skills honed. If only I could take this show on the road ... but who would want to watch the contented slumber of a Ridgeback? Besides me.

Mr. Nice Guy

Some days all you want to do is come home, put your feet up and relax in your easy chair. But remember school days when you tried to lounge in your desk and the teacher would make you sit properly?

Mansfield Park

More park pictures from yesterday since the weather finally warmed up enough to go out for nice romps.

There has been a boobie explosion so I'm guessing she's cooking up something in there. She still looks faaaaaab.

You can never have too many pictures of the handsome boy looking handsome. Even if he is squinting ...

And of course Leeloo who was thinking very hard about a magpie on the ground - dangerous place for magpies when puppies are around.

The three of them - two behaving like asses and one supervising. This part of the park is Raimi's favorite, he turns on the after burners and races around like an idiot.

Halo always looks so dignified ... or disdainful. I'm never really sure which. Thankfully her mood in the last week has elevated from suicidal to indifferent.

City Of Angels

I’ve figured out who Leeloo is. She’s the head turning blonde. The one who makes the room fall silent. Legs that go for miles, expressive eyes, intelligent and witty, fun loving, thin, lithe, athletic with enough softness to retain femininity. She is unconsciously beautiful. You know … the girl everyone hates.

Until you get to know her. Then you realize she is like an angel who walks without vanity, speaks without judgment, and offers friendship unconditionally. You can’t help but fall for the simple truth. She’s a Venus de Milo. She is simply love and beauty.

Leeloo, like any girl compared to a Goddess, believes without a doubt, that everyone wants her involved in their life, in the moment. And if there is no room she makes room. How many times has she lain on top of me, or Raimi, or Halo … just because she can’t quite understand that when there is no space for a blonde babydoll … there’s always space for a blonde babydoll.

And like any Goddess cum Element … she needs love to survive. In my house …. in spades.

Roadhouse

Montana must love movie stars because in the space of 200 miles I saw three signs which seem to indicate a theme. I didn't get a chance to photograph Vaughn Junction (where I was shorted $4 at the gas station) but I did get the other two signs. It's definitely something to ponder ...

The Family Stone

With Halo home all is right with the world once again. Last Tuesday we made our first foray to the park with Halo since getting her back. It was snowing and quite nice however Halo got a coat because it was a bit chilly and I'm a sucker.

The Boy flies by while Halo looks for a good spot to poop.

Leeloo was walking under this tree sniffing each of the branches. She is so odd.

The three bums heading away. Leeloo's is the one in the air.

The Boy having a gallop in the snow. He kind of looks like a horse ... sometimes he sounds like a horse actually.

Leeloo annoying Halo. Leeloo doesn't get why Halo doesn't play like Raimi. She 's not a quitter though.

Raimi deciding if he wants to run after the dogs he sees playing in the distance or if just looking is good enough. In the end he chose to go and hassle Halo.

Leeloo chewing on the smallest little twig she could find sticking out of the ground.

Leeloo doing the silly run of joy. I love the silly run of joy.

Halo is a thinker and is probably thinking about the rabbit potential on the other side of the fence.

A parting thought from Halo.
