Oh, The Things Dad Finds Humorous

Just a quick one while dad's in the midst of trying to keep track of their hikes for our next post. He's up extra early getting ready for a chilly hike up Grandfather Mountain today. 

At the risk of offending anyone I thought this was kind of funny. 

Looks like I better start thinking about changing my nocturnal noise habits so dad gets more sleep maybe.  Mmm, nah...

A Brief "Paws"

 Hey y'all.  Dad and I are gonna take a brief blogger high-ate-us.  We're enjoying a welcome visit from dad's youngest son and they're planning on stuffing lots of activities into a short time.  They haven't seen each other in a few years so there's lots of catching up to do.  Mom and dad drove up north to pick up his son waaaay up in Pennsylvania and just got in last night.  Almost as soon as our visitor opened his suitcase I was right there to check it out. 

The photo is out of focus because I wouldn't sit still, rolling around in it, sniffing every surface (the suitcase lives with a pup) and just being all gosh darn adorable.  This morning dad's body wanted to get up effing early as usual, but his head was fighting it, so he sat in bed reading and sipping his java while mom pretended to read (I think she was snoring) and I dozed on dad's lap. 

We'll be back sometime next week or so.  Y'all have a great week.

Sleeping Like a Baby

Considering it's in our nature to sleep a good 12 hours a day or more, the majority of photos dad has in his "Cleo" folder are of me slumbering away on one lap or the other. 

Sometimes on the living room carpet, once in a while on their bed and occasionally out on the steps I'll curl up for a good long snooze, but mostly it's their laps.  He says for a big ol' girl with attitude galore, a dislike for being held and the need- recently, especially for some reason- to wake him and mom at all hours of the night for no other reason than wanting attention they can't help but look at me like this and just go "Awwww...". 

 My work here is done.
