Every time I look at it, the song Space Oddity (ground control to Major Tom...) pops into my head, since it looks like a space pod of some sort, but again, I digress.
My mom and my brothers came to join us that afternoon while things were still slowly smoking. We sat on the patio and just enjoyed being able to socialize outside. My brother brought over my sister's 4 month old yellow lab, Buster. He's one of the biggest "puppies" I've ever seen, weighing in around 50 lbs at only 4 months. Needless to say, Vader was not pleased. He thinks he wears the pants in the family, but despite his name, he's kind of a sissy. He was not interested in a playful puppy 3 times his size and spent the bulk of the day guarding his territory from this yellow rogue. He likes to guard from the inside, though- with a lot of talk and an occasional strut across the patio.

Bertha, however, was a little more gracious. She tolerated Buster a little better and even tried to play with him until she discovered, most unceremoniously, that Buster's paws are as big as her head. After that, she ended up mostly hanging out in someone's lap or under the chair. But she was plotting... laying in wait. Atta girl, Bertha!

Maiden voyage was a smashing success. Vader was like an old man saying "Get off my lawn"

ReplyDeleteI almost expect your space pod's head to swivel while making a lot of strange beeping noises.
