And Modified on Wednesday Morning...


Zair in bugface lenses Ok, so there we were, sitting around a blazing laptop, wondering what to do with ourselves for the rest of the day.

Zair said that "Bumpa" should try using the Kodak DC 20 again and offered the suggestion that it might be possible to get it to download images if we only took 4 pix at a time. Kane agreed that the strategy had merit...

so, off we went into the back yard. Bumpa was dragged along as official photographer - besides, it's his camera. (OK - it belongs to the school, but who's counting?)
Young "BugFace" was the first to get photographed. That's because she's the littlest and can't run very fast. Even though she thinks she is very fast. Doesn't she look zippy? Here she is on her trike: Meter Maid
The mudder
Now, BugFace's mummy, who actually volunteered for the shot. Volunteered? To be photographed? Ah, young mothers and their babies! What more can I ask for? (Pretty, ain't she? Her mumma throws very pretty pups, indeed.)
Alex, who is usually called "Chook" or "Poochie", had to be dragged out for the photo shoot. Now, there's a turn up! (She's also a bit of a turnip, but she doesn't know that yet. It's the only thing she doesn't know!!) She needed the dog for moral support. He's too stupid to need moral support. Mind, he's clever for a sprog, though. What do you reckon, Chook? Al and a Whippet
Kane, Kayne, Kayine And here we have the dog himself, old "Hurry Kayne" or whatever arcane spelling the Chook has decided on today. He started out as just Cain, then became Kain, then herself started playing about with the spelling, now we don't know what to call the darned creature!

Oi! - FOOD!

Yeah, that gets his attention.
Just so the other dogs don't get their noses out of joint (a medical term better known to the practitioners of the healing arts as "nosus outajointus") here are some more little doggy wogs...

That's Gunner on the left and a couple of kennel dogs on the right. (Why do you ask, Two Dogs...?)
Gunner Just 2 dogs

Then, on the Wednesday morning, we had to give the kennel a haircut - you can see from the doggie pix that the yard is pretty badly overgrown. The electric fence doesn't work very well when the grass gets too long. So, I went out to cut it and to trim around the outside of the fence.
