Seasonal Fotos

It's been some wacky weather around here! From a steady light/moderate rain to sunshine to snow (this morning). Keller handles the elements like a pro. The picture on the right is from the Bloomington Dog Park - it was about 48 degrees and raining and we were there for an hour (rain-geared me came ill-prepared with a lack of water resistant shoes. I had to wear Ann's sandals, so my feet and hands were freezing!). We got back into the Vibe and took some pictures of our drenched selves. The other one is from our cold walk on Friday - lots of sun, but definitely feeling like fall!

P.S. There really was a light dusting of snow this morning. I just got back from the dog park for an hour and am freezing my hiney off.

Gone Too Long!

I haven't seen Dave or Keller in nearly a week now! Sad. I sincerely hope nothing has been torn or shredded apart in Bloomington (from Keller...not Dave...lol).

On a side note, our carpet is fixed by the front door. We actually have a normal foyer again. I should get ahead of the game and spray it with bitter apple now before Keller comes home....

Keller Loves Food (Like Her Mom)

It goes against our vegetarian beliefs, but I had a coupon, and it was suggested to us by Nonnie to vary Keller's....well, pallette (sp?) (why did I make that french? lol...).

So I bought her some Alpo canned foods. BLECH....but she loves them. Look at that smiling puppy. That chops-lickin' puppy....

I've never been away from Keller this long before - nor have I left her in

Dave's hands for this long! How weird. Normally Dave's the one traveling for work, not me! I will miss them both but will see them Saturday. :) Or Sunday. Don't know.

Mush Keller, Mush!

We took Keller out rollerblading for the first time last Sunday. She's a rollerblading pro! As you can see, it's self-explanatory: Dave doesn't need to do any of the work, Keller pulls him the whole way. It's that husky in her....mush! Mush!

Perhaps Santa Claus is hiring...or looking for subs...

Short-Less Chasing

I let Keller out this morning and usually she lets me outside before she steps out. This morning she stepped out first, and saw the robin in the other yard, and took off after it. Sigh. I called her, and again, and she started coming back, only to find ANOTHER bird party going on - and ran off after them.

So I chased her - barefoot, just-rolled-out-of-bed hair half this way, half that, glasses on, and my t-shirt is long enough where it covers my shorts, so to all my neighbors potentially looking, I was running after a dog with no shorts on.

I was probably quite the sight for the day.

Keller, All-Star Ball Player

Just another night at home...come play with me, Mom!

Bed warmers

Keller is kinda spoiled. I was getting ready for work this morning (wake-up time: 2:20....ok, 2:27 a.m.) and I came back upstairs with a cup of coffee and found her parked in my spot, head on pillow and all! LOL - I couldn't help but laugh. She's a great bed warmer, and obviously, fairly confused over my recent work schedule.

I have to add - yesterday she was in the upstairs bathroom and sitting by the tub, with this indescribable, incredibly goofy look on her face. She was staring madly at either the seagull pictures or the clock on the wall (but I think it was the birds, given that's how she looks when she sees a bird outside) and I swore she was preparing to pounce if one of them moved. It was a bona fide stare-off for at least a minute.
