First hike of spring!

And, obviously, we had a good time:

I know there are deer out here somewhere...

Heheh. I warned them all!

Is that you, Spring?

After seemingly weeks of cloudy and cold, we finally have what appears to be a semblance of Spring. As always, Motor is taking full advantage:

Zzzz.

Update: Someone else wanted to share the sunbeam...

Make room, fuzzball.

Further proof?

The entire bed was sock-free but one corner and guess where Motor sat all day:

What?

Yep. On the socks.

Love/Hate

We know socks are Motor's kryptonite. Or are they...? Because it definitely looks like there's some love there too:

Guess who hates being left out?

Yep, Motor. Anytime we are outside with the dogs, he stares - and meows - forlornly out the doors and windows:

What about me?

I want to play too. :(

I always have to go in and remind him that he's not actually a German Shepherd...

Snooze Fest

Productivity? That's something only losers know about. Just ask Motor:

It's a cat's life.

Who is cuter?

I'd say it's a tie:

Dave's Blue Steel Stare

Random Horse Love

There are a few horses that live by Lowes, where we went yesterday for home repair stuff. They happened to be at the fence when we drove by, so I hopped out to get some random horse love:

Hey, friend.

Do you want to come home with me?

Sun 101

If you want to know how to make the most of a sunbeam, look to an expert:

Step 1: Call the sun to the window.

Step 2: Roll around.

Step 3: Zen out.

Step 4: Snooze.

Being a writer rules!

Interviewed the Arsenal's K9 unit for an article yesterday:

 

 

 

Totally awesome!!!

Baby Duck

Guess who got a hug even though he didn't know he needed one? This baby duck:

Gotcha, small fry!

There were bunches of them, actually:

 

 

That guy just got lucky. ;)

Motor vs Sock

We randomly discovered a while back that Motor's kryptonite is socks. As soon as one lands on him, he immediately spills over. But we've never been able to capture the effect on video until last night:

(Btw, this reminds me of one of my favorite lines from "Bolt": "Stryofoam! That stuff, it weakens me!")
