Just a walk in the park...

Bud and I took our daily after work walk across the way to the local park.

Normally he's "greeted" by at least 10 little dogs--today there were only a few dogs at the park, but as usual, all Bud cared about was his "flashy yellow ball".

He goes nuts for this ball--for all you golden owners, you have got to get one of these things at Petco. It's a flashing glow in the dark ball, hence the "flashy" nickname, that's lasted us a while. Of course, you can only really see it flash at night or in poorly lit room--flashy turns up everywhere, under the couch, behind the bed, behind the toilet, underneath desks, you get the point. Bud cannot put this thing down, he's crazy about it! And they're only maybe $12 or so-definitely a hit when I take him to the park around sunset.

I ended up turning our fetching session into a Bud's portrait session, so I hope you enjoy the photos!

one happy dog...

Blogging?

Who actually came up with this thing referred to as blogging? I checked the definition of the blog, which led me to weblog...no true definition, though I've come to find out it's almost like a conversation with yourself--it is a conversation with yourself. I've never been one to keep a journal, but I suppose with the amount of time that I spend on my computer everyday, a journal's not a bad idea. I have a terrible memory, and this can only help me document my daily/weekly/monthly events. I'm pretty excited to get this thing started up, and first saw this "blogger" through Valerie's MyBuBear--I'm nearly obsessed with checking up on friend's photos (dropshots & flickr), facebooks, and personal sites when they update them--so I hope this provides you with a glimpse into my life & outer elements that make up who I am.
