    Mousse at the beach

    Mousse loves the beach. She gets to be off-leash. She gets to play fetch. She gets to play in the water. She gets to meet other dogs. Did I say she gets to play fetch? What’s not to like?

    Today, she decided she was going swimming. Well, that wasn’t necessarily the plan, but she was going to fetch whatever it was that was thrown into the waves. Fortunately, she has learned “come” and Melissa had a tennis ball in her hand. A little doggie body surfing and she was back on dry land.

    After collecting our water, sand, and pizza, we jumped in the car and headed home.

    Another fun time at the beach. :-)

    I’ve been too busy to get my recent Instagram shots posted here.

    It’s probably time to investigate plugins for automatically grabbing my Instagram shots and posting them here. The last time I looked, the plugin pulled over a small image. Since then, Instagram has increased the size of photos it stores. Maybe the plugin has followed suit.

    Update. I installed Instagrate to see whether it’s something I want to use. Not right now, but it sounds like an update that supports larger pictures and the new Instagram API will arrive before June. I can’t wait.

    Mousse

    Mousse makes herself at home. She no longer merely lies on the bed — she owns it. And what a sweet puppy she is. :-)

    This is day three of a week of (domesticated) “nature photography.”1Today we’re tracking the elusive family dog. What an amazing opportunity to observe this magnificent specimen performing a ritual nap in her natural habitat. Notice how her coloration matches the pillow behind her, allowing her to subtly blend in. Let’s pause to watch her eyebrows twitch from side to side as she ponders her next moves. If she plays her card right, she’ll be snuggled up to her master before nightfall.

    I’m not sure, but I think we might have Mousse trained to stay off the front couch now… ;-)

  • Bamboo, the skating dog

    Good job, Bamboo!

    A skateboarding dog is awesome! I wonder if we can teach Mousse to longboard. I showed Mousse this video; she watched the entire thing with apparent interest.

    Do you think she’ll stand on my longboard while I pull it with a rope?

  • Chocolate Medicine

    I love when Mousse saunters over to flop down and rest her head across my feet. Chocolate labs are healing to the soul.

  • Kayaking With Mousse On Sunset Lake

    Kayaking With Mousse On Sunset Lake

    For our Saturday excursion, Suzi and I rented1By the way, if you are looking for a nice place to rent some recreational kayaks around Seaside, Cleanline treated us well. I’m sure they’d do the same for you. The owner is friendly. That wasn’t too surprising. The kids who helped put the kayaks on my car were friendly, too, introducing themselves, shaking my hand, asking how my visit was, etc. Wow! four kayaks to explore Sunset Lake. Ashley got a larger life vest for Mousse.2Although we also got one for Meisa, it’s going back; Meisa said nothing doing to putting on a life vest so she could sit on a tippy kayak. Instead, Meisa relaxed, tied up at our campsite.

    Suzi, Ashley, Heather, and I boarded our kayaks. Ashley had Mousse join her. Things went swimmingly until Mousse went swimming. Thanks to Mousse’s life vest and its handle, Ashley was able to get Mousse back on board. Turns out, Mousse likes to swim and is fast. And Mousse likes to swim a lot! With her life vest, we didn’t worry about Mousse getting dog tired. We could paddle next to her and let her dog paddle.

    Another fun day on the water.3Yeah, that’s redundant. ;-) :-)

  • A Beautiful Day at Cannon Beach

    A Beautiful Day at Cannon Beach

    Our family has a tradition of visiting the Oregon Coast to start the new year. This year’s visit was a combination anniversary and birthday celebration with outstanding weather as part of the present.

    The lot of us took a bunch of pictures.1Yes, the picture of the chairs is a redo of last year’s picture. For that matter, the other pictures are redos as well, but no one seems to notice that as much. Not surprising, as photography is serious sport here.
