A few raindrops were starting to fall as Otis and I took to the football field at the edge of Pleasure Bay this morning for our tennis ball retrieval ritual. The look on his face says to me "Put down the damn camera and throw the ball already!". It was a good romp, and it was nice to see the pastel sunrise as we took care of doggy business. Now it's time for a quick shower - and off to the office. A busy day, as we're taking Thursday and Friday off to travel to Annapolis, MD, for a long weekend. I've never been to Annapolis before, and we're joining some family (Peter's sister, brother-in-law, and nephew) and hoping to catch up with a dear college friend, and take in all that the town offers. Stay tuned for posts and photos from our trip.
And yes, this photo is blurry and overexposed, but gives you a sense of the energy level we're dealing with here, even at 5:45 am.
Eighty pounds of dog charging repeatedly at maybe 10-15mph at 5:30am. What more could one ask?
ReplyDeleteAKC Standard calls him "an animal of spirited disposition, self-willed, brave, and very resistant to fatigue."
Yup. That's our Otis.
That's a lot of energy so early in the morning! Any chance that Otis snapped a photo of you in a similar pose?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading about your trip to Annapolis. It's a great town!
Yes, Otis did snap a photo of me this morning but I won't be poating it. My hair was a disaster.
