A Dancing Boom Boom
As we enter the Christmas weekend, we thought a dancing Boom Boom performing his Rockette kicks (yes, with both back and front leg at the same time) was perfect. We will be taking the weekend off, returning with the Monday Musing and then our regular posts starting Tuesday. Have a very Merry Christmas (or an excellent weekend if you celebrate something else).

Roscoe’s Serious Pose
Hu-Dad claims capturing pictures of us isn’t the easiest thing. Something about blurs, and out of frame, and refusal to look at the camera, and a bunch of clowns. So when he said he needed just one good shot, we got Roscoe’s serious pose. Don’t worry—it didn’t last long.

Behaving Is Boring
We long ago lost count of the number of lectures Hu-Dad has given to Typhoon about better behavior. That look on the Little Prince’s face says he knows behaving is boring and as soon as the lecture is done, mischief will resume.

Making A Subtle Point
You would never guess from today’s photo that Roscoe’s undivided attention has been drawn to something just out of the shot (aka, a pair of chattering squirrels). Yeah, maybe it is very obvious when even the tail is indicating the direction of interest, so this might really be a not so subtle point.

A Wet Boom
A nice stretch of clear, but cold weather has arrived here in Asheville with even the hints of snow by the end of next week. Before we get there, though, Landon decided to enjoy a rainy day in the yard. Forgive a little wet Boom for your daily photo.

Wet Trouble Brothers
Our rainy weather continued into yesterday and a certain pair of mischief makers decided being outside was more entertaining than being inside. Yes, Typhoon and Roscoe make for a pair of wet trouble brothers.

All Business
Rainy weather arrived here in Asheville. Fortunately, we got both of our walks in before it started, but the evening turnout wasn’t so lucky. Frankie Suave demonstrated to his younger brothers how to be all business when it comes to doing business. That’s the face of concentration. He got back inside before any rain settled on his fur.

Not Touching The Bird Bath
We have this little marble bird bath with little marble, decorative birds sitting on a table in our backyard. In a total coincidence, two of the little birds moved while Landon was in the vicinity, but he says it must have been the wind. He absolutely, positively was not touching them.

Waiting In The Rain
Yes, we had yet another rainy day which makes, based on our best estimate, eleventy-seven bazillion days in a row. We might need to double-check that number to be sure. Regardless, Frankie Suave would like to remind the Hu-Dad that waiting in the rain for the door to be opened is not his favorite thing. Don’t worry, though, he will calmly wait until the humans figure it out. All part of being Suave.

This Pillow Needs Fluffing
When Hu-Dad is working on his busyness, he asks that we find a comfortable location and nap. Landon thought he had located the balance between proximity and comfort, but the neck support wasn’t quite as solid as expected. Or too solid might describe it better.

Rainy Thoughts
Why has our warm sunshine abandoned us this week? How many puddles can I splash through during our walks? Why can’t I dig giant holes in the mud just because the clumsy humans fall in them? Will I be subjected to the towel again rather than being able to share this glorious rain wherever I shake? Why is Hu-Dad pointing a camera at me rather than feeding me treats?

Lost In Translation
A moment of connection. Landon looked straight at Hu-Dad. The human spoke. Rules blah blah blah and expected behavior blah blah blah and normal dogs blah blah blah. Let’s just say the conversation was lost in translation because Boom Boom went right back to Boom Booming around the yard.
