pug you, we're working

Not much sunlight today, so I played with the focus effects here and there...

I love this pug's little face. It was also trailing its human, just like Tempest does with me.

Some dogs have all the energy.

And there are the guys getting paid to be energetic. Work continues on the jetty...

um...

... you gotta little something on your face.

brody & mickey

There's another Jen at the beach with two bulldogs. Only hers aren't Frenchies. I've introduced you to Brody & Mickey before. Since we haven't seen them in ages, I thought it was due for a refresher. And this time, they don't have to share a frame.

Brody's favorite game is "chase the imaginary ball." Eric, Copper's human, throws it best.

Mickey is all about his ball, frisbee, or whatever toy he brings along. He doesn't want to play with anyone else, and he certainly isn't open to others taking part in the fun.

president of the riptide fan club (iphone friday #6)

A story. As told by the iPhone...

This is what happens Riptide and Dude meet. They play tug-o-war as long as you'll let them. Or until Riptide has more salt water down his throat than he can handle. They love it, I love it, and countless bystanders love it.

Occasionally, Tempest joins in the fun. Dude and Riptide don't mind.

There is one person - who I refer to as the President of the Riptide Fan Club - that does mind. Meet Conor. Every time Rip & Dude do their thing, Conor gets very upset. In fact, when he sees Riptide approaching, he breaks down in tears. He yells "let go! let go!" while they play. Conor is Dude's human boy, and he is not amused by Riptide's playful antics. Anyone up for his post when he retires?

you dig?

Kiro does.

Maya used to be the one that looked ferocious. I like how she's looking on as the playmates appear to be ripping each other apart.

sam i am

I couldn't resist another film title. Sammy is always ready - and proud - to strike a pose.

if you have a little brother...

... you'll understand how Tempest feels.

"Hey Tempest! Look what I found. Don't you want to come over here and check it out?"

"Too bad...'cause it's MINE!"
