Making up for lost time

Alex has gotten short shrift during my blogging hiatus. No blogging = not many reasons to take pictures = not many photos of the cutest ears in caninedom.

Hence, I'm trying to make up for some lost time.

Posing comes quite naturally to her, though how that leg bend can be comfortable is a mystery.

She has a wicked side eye and is not shy about using it.

Do you think she knows she's not supposed to be on this chair?

All is forgiven if it makes for a pretty picture.

Alex doesn't spend nearly as much time outside as Smooch did. She only wants to be where I am. We are absurdly, though unashamedly, co-dependent.

She's very alert and watchful. In this case, she's keeping an eye on the chickens on the other side of the fence. She loves chickens...for lunch. E Street chicken Clarence, who hasn't learned her lesson, likes to fly into the garden. Twice I've had to remove her from Alex's locked jaw and twice she has survived, which is a damned good thing because a steady supply of eggs is important in these crazy times. 

Some things just can't be explained.

Alex turns 2 on Saturday.

Long may she live.
