Animal Wednesday: Pasture Pals

I has such a pleasant day with my friend who's visiting from California. She's actually from here but we met out west. How ironic. Anyway, we decided to drive around and take photos when we came across this big guy in a meadow in the Poppasquatch area of Bristol, Rhode island.

His friend wasn't too interested in us. Either that or he's camera shy.

Mr. Horsie decided to mosey over to see what was up.

But then this little gal came walking over and stole the show!

She was playing peek-a-boo, I swear! She was a hoot!

I think this was her way of telling us the show was over and to run along.

Yeah, nice and subtle.

Happy Animal Wednesday! Or as she'd say it.....Heeeee-HAW!!!!

IF : Snap-on-ears, etc.

Okay...what's up with people who feel the need to dress up their dogs? I'm not talking about sweaters to keep the delicate little breeds warm, or maybe even a tasteful bandana. I'm talking bunny ears and antlers, fairies and bumblebees and pirates and ballerinas.
My friend's daughter had her adorable Shih Tzu in a full pink party dress last week. People, people, people. That's just wrong! Ever ask yourself why there are pet therapists on this planet? These guys need therapy and heavy drugs after being paraded around in polyester with sequins and headbands with ears. No wonder most of them SNAP!!
I will say this though. Some of those get-ups have made my head SNAP in their direction. Especially if it's an outfit I wish I had.

(This post is in memory of, and apologies to Mooshi and Joni who I did put Santa hats on.)
