Pip's cheap date

(Note:  Audio may be hit-or-miss since CL has disputed YouTube's right to suppress music used in this video.  Seriously, the-powers-that-be want to argue copyright infringement with a NY Times bestselling author who has her (albeit beautifully written) crap stolen, in the past?  Just...cheezes, people...find a life!  No money is lost to the artist in this video.)

Wordless Wednesday

(4 am, after Sugar opens Pip's jail cell...)

Zen

Waiting for Godot

(Vladimir and Estragon, perhaps?)

Mouth guard

(CL received some requests for close-ups of Pip and I "mouthing" each other during play...enjoy!  Interestingly, it is not this behavior that causes a CL intervention.  The most prevalent behavior that forces CL to exert control and separate us?  When I use my paw to slam Pip to the ground-- force him onto his back-- and demand he stays on his back by putting my mouth over his belly, while he squeals and squirms...CL is never amused by this behavior, even though I insist that Pip needs to be told "enough!" when he gets too excited during playtime...)

Wrestlemania

Before the show (gratuitous prison shot)

Waiting for Prisoner's release...

Slamdown!
("If you say one word about my fat arse, Wild Dingo...")

Water break

Patiently waiting...
("And you wonder why CL makes you wear a diaper?")

Ready squirt?
("Squirt? Die, alpha bitch!")

Takedown!

Preemptive stop by CL
("What? You afraid of a little pain?  You know that squeak was Pip-induced-drama, right? Coward...!")

 Shameless man-whore shot
("You call yourself a dawg, stud? Suck-up...")

Strength, balance and flexibility

Every morning, CL does 90 minutes of strength, balance and complex range of motion exercises, plus killer crunches for her abs. (Btw, ever try to do 100 crunches with no upper body strength and a titanium cage in your neck?  Intense...anyhow, I digress...)  Here are the first 30 minutes of stretching and Yoga, before she moves to the mat to begin her strength exercises:

Here's the continuation of the battle, while CL trains and tries to ignore the screams, squeaks and grunts from us (not her):

CL is continually amazed at my gentle behavior, while I play with Pip.  All that spastic energy would drive CL bonkers!  I guess we now know the secret to Pip's calm demeanor, huh?

Snuggle time with Pip

(for a Chihuahua, he's pretty darn mellow...)

A Day with the Studmuffin

While Popeye and Phoebe hung out at the park yesterday, I spent quality time with this manly-man:

How cool is Boomer?

We spent very little time resting-- and a lot of time playing!

Of course, I demanded CL snuggle time, once Boomer-the-Studly-Stud vacated my property:
