Happy Days are Here Again!

Gracie.

Gracie and a catnip mouse.

Gracie snorting her catnip mouse.

"Stoopid mouse! Doesn't smell like 'nip anymore!"

Mockingbird along the trail. I swear, this bird poses for us.

The trail was ridiculously slippery. The rain yesterday had partially melted all the snow, which then froze overnight into ice, and got coated with a dusting of snow. So, instead of walking back on the trail, we took a detour on the streets. I like how, along with his footprints, you can see the occassional "swoosh" of where his leg fringe sweeps the snow off the sidewalk.

And look what we found on our detour!!! All this time, Mr. Ball was on the street near the parking lot to the park. If we'd taken our usual route, we wouldn't have seen him here. Beavis actually walked right past him at first. Mr. Ball was on the blind side.

"I missed you so much!!! I'll kiss your feet. Wait... you don't have feet."

I kicked it into the parking lot.

Follow the bouncing ball! I kept trying to kick it back into the park, but kept getting intercepted.

It's amazing I didn't fall. Everything was icy or snowy or both.

Mr. Ball in mid-bounce.

Real soccer doesn't have hazzards like fallen branches.

Or snow, for that matter.

You can't say he lacks enthusiasm.

Then, as expected, he knocks it into a partially frozen puddle.

I'm not sure if he's biting it, or just trying to pick it up. He really has no concept of how small he is.

Shaking off the ice and snow on the way home.

We found Mr. Ball, and now all is right with the world. The last appointment of the day cancelled, so we finished earlier than we would have, and Fritz has the night off work, so I get to spend time with my honey, and eat DiGiorno Garlic Bread Pizza. Yummmm.

Yep... All is right with the world.

Until tomorrow morning. :p

ncshutterbug #4 is absolutely PERFECT. What a great shot. The lighting, the movement of the catnip mouse, everything.

All the ones with Beavis and the ball just make me smile. So adorable.

ncshutterbug Oh, and that mockingbird isn't posing for you. He's stalking you. Trust me. I've had one stalk me before.
