Little Boy Blue

Playing around with different processing...also- changed the song to fit the mood :)

Shoveling Strategies

Taken from inside- since it was FREEZING out- but the kids wanted to go outside :)
It was interesting watching their different approaches.... notice Boy #1's straight lines...Boy #2 working on an area at a time...and then The Girl's, well, decorative version...she actually shoveled her name in one part of the street :) lol

The Kids

I love close up head shots. LOVE them. So while the kids were playing today I snapped a few.
They are pretty good personality captures :) Boy #1s sad face makes me melt- he was telling hubby about an injury- his face was so cute. Boy #2 is very expressive...and so hard to capture on camera, since he doesn't ever stop moving. Ever.
The girl- well she was trying to evade me- but I won :)

This is your dog on drugs...

Foster has been limping since around Thanksgiving and we thought it was just a normal doggy sprain, but it was getting worse, so...yesterday I brought him to the vet. He was too tense to examine, so we had to bring him back today to get drugged up so they could do an exam, x-rays, etc.... we picked up him 9hrs later- and this is his state of mind. He's SO high, it's kinda cute.
But poor Foster- has a pretty bad knee. He has bone spurs and arthritis. :(
The good news is that it should just be some drugs....hopefully surgery will not be needed.
We're hoping that the drug regime will help him- the vet said he must be in a lot of pain. Broke my heart! He's been a little more depressed lately- but never would have guessed in pain :( SO he's on pain killers and anti-inflamatory drugs for the next 2wks. Hopefully that will help him.... the kids are being SO nice to him. He's suppose to have limited movement- so we're trying to keep him contained to one level- which is challenging in a multi-level house, with a dog who's smart enough to know how to open doors/doggy gates.... but he's been doing a good job of being a couch potato :)
