Can’t believe I forgot

June 15th came and went and I totally forgot about it! June 15th 2007 marks the birthday of the fantastic 8, the H-Gang and I missed their first celebration.

This tiny creature above became the big kahuna below (photo taken in March so he’s probably even bigger now)

I wish I had photos of the remaining 7 at hand but, sadly, I don’t. Miss you guys!

happy b-day

Of dogs & ticks

Dogs here at the base have mastered the art of tick collecting down to perfection. A day does not go by without finding at least 1, but usually there are about 5 sucking up blood on various parts of their tiny bodies. It’s amazing they have any left come to think of it…

What’s even more amazing is that ticks, so far, have shown no interest in human blood. Back home you’d probably find similar numbers on yourself after walking through such obvious tick hot spots.

The cat is also a safe bet for ticks but, unlike the dogs, she refuses to stay still long enough for me to get them off. Can’t say I didn’t try though…

jumping like fleas around here

(yeah, I know there are part of him missing, but I love the shot anyway)

Hanibal’s been catching frisbees with some consistency for a while now so I guess he was due for a quick photo shoot. He’s still a long way off from the standard Dina set but what he lacks in acceleration and accuracy he makes up by jumping real high. He’s a bouncer ;)

Dina, frisbee

Of course there’s now way we can have just one of them having fun so it was her turn catch a few. It doesn’t work with both of them at the same time though.

More shots should be in the gallery as usual (when I figure out why it doesn’t work with WP2.5 I’ll get it back online)

update – gallery works
