Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy Visit

Lucy

“Hi, Boss.”

“Hi, Lucy. What do you want.”

“I was thinking about this post.”

“Everyone’s going to believe that one, but okay what were you thinking?”

“The title is ‘A Little Personal’ right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“And mostly when you are doing animals you are putting pictures of those stupid seagulls, herons, pelicans, and what not.”

“Stupid is a harsh word but yes.”

“What is wrong with putting pictures of Bailey, Stella, and me?”

“There is nothing wrong. Here let me put up a shot of bailey.

Bailey

“What about Stella?”

“Here is one of Stella. You know how hard she is to capture on film right?”

“Yeah but run it anyway.”

“Okay here it is”

Stella

“Now how about some action shots. You know some video of Baily and I doing a ruckus in the yard.”

“You are kidding me, right? Here is an action shot of you two.”

Lucy na d Bailey

“Aw come on. We have others”

“Hmmm let me look. Oh here is one.”

Lucy and Bailey

“You ran that one before.”

“For heaven’s sake. Try this one.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Now we are backsliding. Any more of Stella?”

“Here’s one.”

Stella

“I think I’m going to give up.”

Lucy

“Well, you did manage to get some exposure. I’m sure everyone thought you were precious.”

“Come closer and say I’m precious.”

“Time to sign off. Say goodbye, Lucy.”

“Goodbye Lucy.”

    Loved it! Lucy and Bailey’s expressions are “priceless.” And, sweet Stella makes the trio a family. Thanks for the sharing…. 🙂

    *Now* I’m having a thriving Thursday! Love this post, John. All beautiful, but I didn’t realize Stella was so gorgeous. BTW I’m rerunning last year’s Get Caught Reading series, and Lucy is part of it. Mega hugs.

    Definitely precious. I especially like the first action shot. Just like my guys (unless they’re putting their faces in the camera).

      The secret with these tow is to stay off the floor or ground. Once you go there they assume you are a boxer too.

    Nothing like giving the pets a chance to take center stage, John! They’re just too doggone cute, even though they take a LOT of time (particularly the long-haired ones, ha!) ‘Tis nice seeing your clean floor though — if you ever wish you had furs there (and on your sofa), just say the word and Dallas will share!!

      We have plenty. Stella alone requires the floors be swept every day. The other two contribute a lot too. Dallas would feel right at home.
