Friday "OMG It's Snowing!" Apollo

On the last day of Winter, I chose to exercise my privilege as the foodlady to torture Apollo. Don't be fooled by these pictures, he was NOT happy about having to wear goggles and boots.

Last year, it snowed here in Denver in April. And it snowed on the last day of Summer. Since September, we've had about 60 inches of snow. And the weather guys are saying we could get up to 18 inches today.
I don't mind too much, actually. But I'm definitely glad I didn't plan on a road trip for this weekend.

As a side note - I absolutely hate those boots made by Ruff Wear. The rubber part is stiff and it doesn't conform to Apollo's feet, and inevitably ends up on the top side, with the cloth portion on underside. Supposedly the doggy socks - yep they make them now - helps with that, but I don't believe it. I will be on the lookout for a better-designed set for next year.

Friday Apollo Is a Snob

Actually he was sniffing something in the air. You can see by how his nose is sorta twisted to his left (your right).

Friday Franken-Dog Apollo

Appearances are deceiving.

This innocent, confused looking pup is in reality a Franken-dog!

See the staples?? (Click the pic for a better view)

The incision is about eight inches long. My hand is about eight inches long too, so I put it in shot for comparison.

P.S. I am adding a new picture of the day - it'll be dubbed Assignment Monday. Unless I think of something more creative. More on that on Monday.

Friday Apollo

There almost wasn't a Friday Apollo. Internet went kablooey in a bad way, and I had to run an obstacle course just to get a Comcast technician to come fix it. And it took him 45 minutes to figure it out. Apollo charmed him out of charging me for it. Hurrah for Apollo!

Friday Apollo

Where I live, in between Denver and the foothills, we got about 20 inches of snow over the past two days. This region was pretty much shut down, and so I had plenty of time to shoot Apollo.

I cropped in for some of these pictures so that it's easier to see Apollo.

Here he is searching for the "flinger" (a flexible square frisbee).

And again. To get anywhere, Apollo had to leap every stride. He looked like a rabbit and made me giggle endlessly.

Apollo, the crazy dog that he is, loves to take a break and just chill out - literally - in the snow. Which concerns me a bit because he doesn't have a lot of hair on his groin area...he's kinda naked there, except for hair on his coinpurse. Ahem. I worry about frostbite. Maybe I should get him a coat? He'd look damned silly, though...But humiliating him is so fun!

I showed the above picture to a friend of mine, and this is what he had to say:

"He's like: "Hey! Hey mom! Hey! I'm freezing! Haha! I'm freezing my nuts off! If I had nuts, anyway! Hahaha!"

I have weird friends.

Buahaha! This picture slays me!

Happy boy
