Wordless Wednesday: Temptations

Holly poses for her weekly shot at the scene of Micron’s misadventures.

She is doing a fine job of turning her head away from the delights found in one’s patio herb garden. No noshing upon the cherry tomatoes or jalapeno peppers.

Sure, it helps that Micron ate them all already.

Still, some credit is due here. She didn’t even look for anything to roll around in her mouth.

Growing up, y’all.

Wordless Wednesday: A majestic air

 

So serious, this Holly puppy, with a touch of a majestic air about her like an aura.

Naw, just kidding, y’all.

This is Holly.

Not a prob. I was done taking photos anyway. Silly girl.

Wordless Wednesday: Just don’t call it a catwalk

Last week’s Wordless Wednesday was an oxymoronic version, being that y’all were subjected to my lengthy lamentations about the change up of Holly’s weekly photo shoot. Wordless it was not.

And like I didn’t have enough challenges, what with the drizzling rain and shortage of dog cookies, but still I was presented with yet another task by a fellow puppy raiser.

You know, she says in a Facebook comment.  In your photo, Holly looks like she’s ready for the runway. 

She ended the comment with a hashtag of AmericasNextTopDogModel.

And I respond with, Sure, just don’t call it a catwalk.

But I can’t just leave it there. Not me.

Oh hey, I continue. That gives me an idea. Next week, I’ll have her walk down the sidewalk like she’s a model on a runway. 

I just have to get the chalkboard in the background, I muse. And make sure everything’s in focus since the pup will be a moving target.

Right, says fellow puppy raiser. You do that. With music.

Dang.

Oh, no matter. All I have to do is the what I usually do.

Lower my standards.

And we present you with Holly at fifteen weeks.  Strutting her stuff on the dogwalk.

Music selection is the choice of the reader.

We suggest humming to the tune Puttin’ on the Ritz.

If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to
Why don’t you go where fashion sits?
Puttin’ on the ritz …

Wordless Wednesday: It be raining. Again.

You know, if I’ve learned anything in this long-lived career in the corporate workplace, it’s the importance of being agile. To be flexible. How to embrace change.

Because no matter how carefully you may have planned, things are going to shift on you.

Or wait. No.

No, that’s just life.

So I was thinking that I’d take a weekly photo of Holly. At least until she reached a stage where her growth was not so profound in change. Dunno, maybe five or six months.

And then I figured easy ’nuff to take the photos in the same spot in the yard.

And then yesterday it rained. Stormed, actually. Thunder and lightning and should we be hunkering in the basement stuff going on out there.

Ah, but as many summer storms, it passed within minutes. Leaving us with a light rain shower.

And a tight schedule of taking Holly’s fourteen week photo.

So here we are with a misty rain causing the blackboard paint to run and the photographer’s assistant quickly running out of dog treats (do note The Husband’s shoes, bottom right), me fussing about the precious Canon in the misty rain, and Holly’s tail attempting to underline her name.

So take that, Life.  We can work around all your drama and plot twists.

We give you Holly at fourteen weeks.  Good lord, look at the legs on this pup, willya?

Wordless Wednesday: Caption This #14

Holy cow, it’s been forever since we’ve offered up a Caption This.

So we’ll start this off with a You’re Welcome when you see that I didn’t pun y’all with saying fur-ever.
And I have to tell you this, too. I was sorely tempted to use the saying Donkey’s Years after having just read this phrase in a Stephen King story, of all places.
I haven’t heard anyone say that in, well … you know.  Turns out that Donkey’s Years is an eggcorn from Donkey’s Ears.  Like, it’s been as long as a donkey’s ears.
But we don’t want to suggest a negative body image to a lovely pup who has yet to grow into her own air flappers, now do we?
Of course not, people.
Still, this expression on Holly’s adorable mug is worthy of a caption, I think.
Maybe …

Holly:  The cat called me a What?!

Or add the photo below for a two-liner:

Me:    Holly! Whacha rolling around in your mouth now?
Holly: [mmph] muffin. See?

Or:

Holly: Hey, Food Lady! D’ya like seafood?
Me:    Oh Holly, that joke’s even older than I …
Holly: Lookit!  Hahahahaha[snort]

And now let’s open it up to more ideas.  Drop us a comment with your clever dialogical thoughts.
