Try as she might, Lily couldn't quite get comfortable at this location... on this pillow. The rest of the day though she was happy playing outside with her choice of toys she drug along.
They parked their butts right behind me. I think so they'll be the first to know when we're going out the door. Which is also right behind me 🤣
Lily's future looks bright.
They loves them some ball
Every morning I throw open the windows to draw in the cold predawn air. I think they're feeling it's working 🥶
It stays cool in the house all day after capturing the early morning air. They come outside to soak up the warm rays until they make themselves pant.
Belly full from dinner, potty break and a nap. This is the natural order of things.
The funny positions you can sometimes find these two in 🤣
She really likes this. What use to be a rope duck.
Waiting for me to say the magic words... "Wanna go outside?"
Lilly grabbed this to enjoy it outside. Her internal monologue must have gone... "If this chew toy is spectacular inside it must be tons better out there on the hard ground that has dead grass on it!" 🤣
Ready... Set... Go!
I'm surprised Ghost hasn't made himself sick with all the unripened peaches he's been eating 🤢
A no Lily picture day. Somehow I forgot to take one. And this being "The Chronicles of Lily" 🥴
This is what happens when you are between them and their food. They start hanging around you... A lot!
You can just make out Lily's face against the backdrop of my black comforter.
One of Lily and Ghost's favorite past times is going out into the back field and eat the cows food. Typically sticking close while grazing.
Lily is quoted as saying, "Oh, this routine again." 🥱 She is not quoted as saying, "Play it again, Sam." 😆
And then there's these two. The scenery doesn't change. Just their antics.
Nothing much going on. Just lazing around
Lily seems to be haunted by a malevolent Ghost 👻
Yeah... I think Buttercup is comfortable.
Lily is very photogenic
What better way to pass the time than to graze
A nice end to the day
Lily and Ghost were playing around me and Lily was escaping by weaving herself around my legs.
Another installment of Lily and Friends
Grass eye view.
Morning Sun. Just missed it by 60 seconds being partially obscured by the mountain range. Would have made for a cool shot.
Moon shot... Waning gibbous.
The moon and the Sun were captured at full zoom on a Nikon D60 camera with the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm lens. No lens filters used.
This is what they do when left to their own devices
The many faces (and occasional backside) of Ghost
Whatchu talkin' bout Willis? What routine? 🤣 Morning playtime
🎶 Today's gonna be a good, good day 🎶
Ever get that feeling that something bad is about to occur?
Yeah. Me neither.
🗨 OH GOD NO!!!
🗨 You've seen too much.
Fun time in the Sun
Watchu got day? Bring it! But first? A nap 😴
More Lily and Friends moments
The day's events according to Lily...
"¡Super fantastico!"
Why so far away?
"WTH DID YOU EAT!?!"
"You left 5 minutes ago BUT I CAN STILL SMELL IT!!!" 🤢
Hold on a sec... Imagine what we could accomplish if we put our heads together 🤔🤣
Lily and Friends
Well this is embarrassing... They fell asleep waiting for me to get ready for the day 😅😆
Past couple of days I had to haul up another bed or else one of them boots the other of the padded island. Ghost picked this spot when he was first granted permission to roam the house. I think because it's an open space where he could "see" everything coming and going.
This is what happens when everybody has nothing to do. Watching Insidious: The Last Key while enjoying some pizza and root beer
Getting in a little play time
She's playing it! Lily's "bite through the blanket" game 🤣
😎 Chilin' out, maxin', relaxing all cool. But not shootin' B-ball out side the school
I think this is Lily's "way past bedtime" look
😴 Wake up sleepy head. It's morning! Midmorning nap after breakfast during the wee hours of the day 🥱
You can often find these two by each other. It's funny, I called them in yesterday and Ghost started in first then stopped and looked back to make sure Lily was coming in too. He did that several times 😄
I think I got connect four 😆
I caught them all wanting to come in at the same time. I don't blame them, it was hot out 🥵
He just waits for me like this in the shade
Another successful day of playing, sleeping and being alone in the house without humans for hours! They were so happy when we got back they were falling over themselves. Ghost was telling Lily all about it. Was pretty funny because I'd never seen him that vocal 🤣🤣
Just hanging around incase a party breaks out
I think Lily is bummed too that the mower is having issues
This morning I guess is open season on pheasants or some other bird as loud gunfire can be heard across the field making Lily feel ill at ease. She's been by my side ever since the first shots were fired 😞
Something grabbed her attention. Could be a vole as we have plenty up and about now that the back field of alfalfa has been cut.
Enjoying the last bits of the cool temp of the day 😎
Sometimes I feel the expectation to perform. I can't imagine why I would feel that 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. The sweet potato experience 🍠😋 Nearly missed this pic opportunity because the two bigger dogs ate theirs faster than I could take out my phone 😂
One guess who the instigator was 😆
Nice relaxing evening. Ghost is on his bed in the adjacent room.
The event everybody's been waiting for. Inside time 🥳
Just a pic of Lily looking cute
The scene when I walked into the room after a shower. They love me. Or rather... they love me as long as I still feed them 🤣
This is what my bed normally looks like at night
Lots of play time outside today. Sniffing, rolling and scouting. Hot out so short excursions when we did go.
I had forgotten that Lilly had a torn ligament so this morning I let them chase each other. It didn't last very much longer than this short video before I intervened. Fortunately she's still walking normal.
This art piece is titled Lily Through The Looking Glass. She didn't want to come out when asked. She wanted to come out on her own terms. Which was 30 seconds after this picture was taken 🤣🤣
The trio. Sometimes Buttercup is the unwitting participant of the larger animals. The two bigger dogs followed her around.
This is the choice grass they found. A small patch of tender new growth that was ripe for the picking.
Went outside for a potty break before Lily and I would head off to Parma. Put Lily in the car and told Ghost it was time to go inside the house. He took one look at me turned away then jumped into the car to sit next to Lily. I guess he was coming with us 🤣
Lilly didn't mind at all that I was doing my back stretches. If she wants to sit on me she wants to sit on me.
I was hoping for the cat to follow and request to come in too before I snapped this pic. I do give them a tiny treat for coming back inside. Absolutely no coercion going on at all 😈
Came home and before going in Lily had to get in a grass roll.
They stayed in the Little Green House while Chuck and I worked outside. I didn't know they also worked so hard to be this pooped.
After their nap (and dinner) it was back outside for another roll.
Lily and Ghost roughhousing and then she flipped my comforter over her.
Lily needs no permission from Ghost. She just straight up jacked his bed. Hahahaha
Ghost is showing her his favorite hangouts. This area was to escape the terror of all dogs... The v-a-c-u-u-m Bwahahaha
As nighttime rolled around, they were gracious enough to leave a sliver of space for me on my bed. That diagonal sliver right between both their butts (¬_¬")
This be the favorite lookout for dogs big and small.
And absolutely no day would be complete without first rolling in whatever she chose to roll in. I'm just glad there's no cow patties around.
Short trip to bring Ms. Lily home. She did good on the 45 minute ride. When arriving home she was a bit nervous and was hesitant coming out of the car but Ghost jumped up and eased her nerves.
My mom loves the "socks" on Lily's front legs.
Poor Lily cannot use the potty area unassisted. That's alright, we go out often enough. She gets tethered to me though because I wouldn't push testing the bond we have just yet.
Shortly after arriving home she was roaming the area and checking things out
Of course she had to get in on some good Korean drama shows 🤣
She kept me company while I stretched my back. Stayed all 2 minutes of my 40 minute session 🤣
Buttercup the sunflower. Loves the sun 🌞
