When No One Wants To Play

When you are young and full of energy like the Boom Boom, what do you do when you ask your siblings and no one wants to play?

Sigh - No one wants to play

Sigh – No one wants to play

The poor Boom Boom. Saturday afternoon was warm and humid. Ok, fine, our high was 72ºF (22ºC) which is warm for us. And with Hurricane Nate – which probably will not even be a Tropical Storm by the time we see it – bearing down on us to give us soaking rain for the next couple of days, the air was quite humid. The result was a general laziness among The Herd. Thus, Landon’s invitations for games and frolicking and fun were rejected by everyone.

So what do you do when everyone else is boring? Make your own fun, of course.

You jump and bounce.

You jump and bounce.

You leap like a kangaroo around the yard.

You leap like a kangaroo around the yard.

Who needs boring siblings to have fun?

    I’m still shocked in these events that he can’t entice Typhoon to play. I know normally they aren’t the playful pair, but if no one wants to play with Boom Boom, I can’t imagine anyone’s wanting to play with Typhoon either.

      It’s probably a good way to show the difference between Typhoon and Landon. When no one wants to play, Landon pouts and tries to get others to play. Typhoon, on the other hand, doesn’t care and confidently acts like they are beneath him.

    Looks like he has enough imagination to keep himself entertained!

Wings of Doom

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
