sleeping dogs, lying.

more ridiculously cute shots of our pit bulls :

-

grr,

the first,

the prima.

-

-

avec,

the misfit,

the hugger,

the little soul.

-

-

can you tell i got a new lens?

-

pit bulls in black and white, or, more reasons to be in love . . .

-

grr always gives us "the look" :

-

-

avec needs to sleep ON you :

-

-

they compete for your attention :

-

-

and you never seem to care that you always let them both win :

-

-

why coming home to l.a. is always > anything else :

-

-

i am oft reminded of my place in life -

-

primarily,

that my desk chair is merely a place i am 

ALLOWED

to share.

-

-

what is often waiting in the window -

-

patient little bringer of peace,

trumpeter of your return,

fierce first hugger:

-

-

we call her "avec".

-

and then, GRR TURNED EIGHT!

-

can't even believe my little one is eight!

she still bounces higher,

plays harder,

and eggs her sister on more

than any dog i've ever seen.

-

funny how they show you a little about everything.

even how to age,

gracefully,

and agressively.

-

-

she and her sister amaze me.

-

-

happy birthday, golden girl.

-

did i post these? does it matter if i re-post these?

-

ALL HAIL MY FAVORITE SUPERMODEL IN THE WORLD :

-

the rescued from the streets at a young age,

strawberry blonde with an attitude,

athletically inclined with a regal attitude,

lady GRR.

-

when i got my new lumix to play with,

only she had the patience and skill

to let me work out the details

and shoot her like a pro:

-

-

plus,

i get to say

"work it, bitch",

and she doesn't take offense.

-

pit bulls are like that.

-

unlike normal female models.

-

they typically just go and eat more air.

-

the dogs are still, well, you know . . .

-

PERFECT.

-

-

i mean, come on.

look at that face.

don't you want to just grab it and kiss it and . . .

sigh.

puppies > people.

still.

-

arabesque of pit bull parts -

-

-

nap-time, pit bull style -

-

swing by,

any day around 3:30,

and join us for the ritual.

-

intentionally cruel post on how cute our pit bulls continue to be :

-

avec has taken to a new preferred sleeping pose.

ON GRR.

-

-

and,

she has decided that when we are on the roof reading,

she will be keeping watch.

for, i don't know, seagulls?  ladybugs?  griffons?

-

-

grr is much happier just sunning herself.

-

-

the only real issue we've had recently is with the new cleaning woman.

she keeps passing out in the laundry.

-

intentionally cruel post on how much my dogs rock -

-

sleepy, grumpy, or goofy,

they still prove my point.

dogs > people.

-

PUPDATE :

-

things are still good on the "cute faces you just want to grab onto" front.

-

also, on the "i'll hug you, daddy" front:

-

-

and, my favorite,

"avec,  you keep an eye out for tim, i'll be keeping an eye on landis":
