2-19-09 Abby and More Shadows
I know we’ve talked about shadows in the past, but I couldn’t resist these photographs. Abby and I were playing outside. Conditions were great for her favorite game of fetch- note the clean roads and nice weather. When I say nice, the temperature is 16 degrees, so some of you may scoff at that. These days are super for Abby. I bundled up and Abby always wears her fur coat, so there was really no talk of weather. We were focused on our walk, and on the game of fetch. I must admit, I feel good getting a bit of fresh air myself. How do you feel after you’ve been playing hard outside?
I like this visual. There is little Abby Sunshine, a mere 35 pound medium to small size dog. And connected to her is this great, ginormous shadow! What is she? Clifford in disguise?
Yikes! Doesn’t Abby look like she’s startled by her own shadow? It seems like she turned, saw that big thing and is getting ready to run.
I guess it’s all about the tennis ball. Abby probably doesn’t care about any big shadows, or words like ginormous. She basks in the simple, dog pleasures of fetching a ball and adjusting that big retrieve in her mouth as she brings it back for one more throw.
