Blue skies smilin' at me...
Nothin' but blue skies do I see!! |
It was looking like another typical summer day, till Elvis and Ivy got the hankering to explore the outdoors a bit... |
|
|
Here's Elvie, doing his best cat-like grin... |
... and here's Ivy, with her unmistakable eyes...
... she is still available for adoption, here --
|
|
And our setting -- an old orchard, that was pretty much empty... |
|
|
Well, these two are anything but serious, so playing was of the first order -- !! |
First things first --
Ivy: "Elvis, I think I love you"
Elvis: "Ivy, your breath smells like pretzels!"
|
|
|
... and now down to playing!
Little Ivy is only 6-1/2 weeks, so strict supervision is given to their play-time --
|
First verse:
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
|
|
|
Well, that party was over quick -- a hawk circles the area --
-- puppies are not exempt from hawks' menus, unfortunately!
|
Elvie says, "Over my dead body" --
-- little Ivy is safe!
|
|
|
This is a perfect picture -- I love her look, and her eyes... |
And before we can get too sentimental, Elvis is on to something... |
|
... and I mean he's REALLY on to something - !! |
|
|
Ivy says, "Wait for me, Elvie -- !!" |
"Yippee -- a watering hole -- !!" |
|
|
Elvie takes the first plunge -- |
-- and quickly heads for shore -- |
|
|
**almost there**
**almost there**
|
Terra firma is reached, and the shakedown begins... |
|
|
In the meantime, Ivy's found herself a companion, and both watch in girlie disbelief -- !! |
Little Stephanie loves Ivy, and Ivy shows her contentment to the world -- !! |
|
|
Elvis, recuperated from his dip, runs around kissing the women fervently -- !! |
Ivy and Stephanie take a little dip, Steph sure not to get her skirt wet -- !!
Goodbyes are said, and we head back to the car...
|
|
|
Second verse :
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
|
On our way back to the car, we're broad-sided by a white boxer, Candy -- |
|
|
-- and this girl is no joke -- a force to be reckoned with -- !! |
Elvis is in disbelief, not sure if Ivy suddenly morphed in to this creature, or wondering exactly where she came from... |
|
|
Now this is a big lady --
-- when I said to her owners, "Large in charge -- that's for sure" -- they just stared at me -- !!
|
As quickly as she came, she left, without even allowing Elvie a goodbye kiss... |
|
|
... and off to home we went, having enjoyed this beautiful day, and having helped baby Ivy see a little bit more of the world... |
