bowzer | the skateboarding bulldog puppy

this is bowzer.  he is cute.  like inaudible high pitched howler monkey cute.

i met him on a sunny summer's day riding his skateboard along the promenade.  we cuddled took photos and then the begging started... no not his...  mine.  puleeez let me photograph this face.  they said yes.   we scheduled a session... this is what happened. 

hey lady.... watcha doin'?

are you ok?  do you need me to come see you?

uh yah.. no.. not interested in any 'high-fives' right now.. but thanks.

ok... for you.. you get a 'fiver'

no botox please.

my mum and dad hold my face like this while i watch t.v.  i love it.. it makes me fall to sleeps.  ZzzzZZ

jane doe + cookie doe | goat girls in the pacific northwest

these little helpings of love (cookie doe and jane doe.. can your stand it!?) belong to a dear friend and live on her cute as a button urban farm in portland or.   they share their space with two ducks -- scarface and glitter head -- and were more than happy to nibble a few treats and have a frolic.

it was a bit cold and dreary when i came to call on them.. but look at those faces? total sunshine.

p.s. these were taken almost a year ago so i'm thinking a very happy 1st birthday wish is in order.

                         -- happy birthday girls! may all your goaty dreams come true --

oh hello loves... mind if we come in?

queen of the mountain... hours of good fun.

'you perhaps have a treat for me?'

by girls!
