Special Delivery

Among the things Choppy doesn't like? The FedEx and UPS delivery men. Here is a picture as the FedEx guy stops to drop something off:

Not pictured: Dog wearing the camera who was barking like mad at this point. You'd think that Choppy would like someone who brought stuff to the house, but no.

Christmas Pheasant Time!

So, after having bought a second camera for Choppy, I promptly lost the cord. However, I found it this morning, and Choppy caught this picture:

It's her Christmas pheasant toy - sans squeaker. First thing to go.

Kitties!

When we are at my parents' house, Choppy spends significant amounts of time staring at/chasing/attempting to make their cats play with her. However, despite that, she never gets pictures of them with her camera. Until this morning, that is!

See Peaches? She's eating some food my sister put out for the cats.

Then, Sonny, with a little bit of another one (I think it's Boop).

And Peaches again - with a bit of Choppy's own reflection in the window.

15 Minutes With Choppy

Three pictures to illustrate 15 minutes in Choppy's life today:

In this picture, I am home. Choppy is lying on the floor, presumably content (though she is staring at the couch, which suggests she is not entirely content).

Here, I am headed to the store. Choppy is watching me go.

Shortly thereafter, Choppy has abandoned the floor for the couch. Bad Choppy!

Walking Dogs

At the front gate of the park, Choppy saw this dog being walked the other day:

Of course, not seen is the heat - hoping it cools down soon!

Flowers

A pic from a weekend up in Wisconsin:

Purple flower, purple pot and a hose. We'll see what Choppy catches this coming weekend, as we are headed back up to Wisconsin for the weekend.

Camping Time!

Choppy got a picture of my parents' camper over the weekend.

With a little dog nose to boot! I bet Choppy would love camping.

Gimme Some Food!

This morning, I was having breakfast and Choppy decided she would beg for some bacon.

There's her little paw on my leg.

The New Camera Has Arrived!

Look what came today!

Choppy's new camera! I have it charging up right now, so expect some new posts over the weekend!

And also, it came a full day early - Amazon, you rock!

Broken Camera

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts here lately - Choppy's camera is currently broken. Surprising, it is not due to anything she did; the cord that attaches it to my computer appears to be the problem.

So, until I get that fixed, no posting. Of course, you can always visit Choppy's Dog House!

Old Picture

Choppy's camera wasn't working properly today, so an old picture from her camera of my knees in a skirt:

Into the Woods

Even though it looks like Choppy is in the woods in this picture, I actually think that she is on the deck looking into the woods.

Slightly in the Woods

Choppy goes into the woods (well, maybe more like a little bit into the woods) and takes a look back at my parents' house:

Dog Leg

This? This is a dog leg.


What is surprising about this dog leg? It's on the floor, where it belongs, instead of on the couch, where it doesn't.

Life Sans Computer

Here I am on the couch this morning, before the new computer cord arrived:


Immediately after I got the new computer cord, I went back to my normal couch activity - playing on the computer.

Spring is Sprung!

On a beautiful spring day in Terre Haute, Choppy went outside and caught this picture:


Note Choppy's chin in the upper right hand corner. I'm guessing she was looking at a squirrel, which have discovered how to get on the bird feeder next door, which is the direction she is looking in this picture.

More Monday Evening

I also managed to get some laundry done Monday evening - Choppy watched me head into the basement:

Monday Night, Chez Sarah & Choppy

Monday night here Chez Sarah & Choppy is pretty routine - television, wine, and computer:


I did liven it up with a package of Thin Mints - that's the thing in my hand.

Snow in the Yard

Still a bit of snow in the backyard. I can't wait for it to melt and start working on fixing up the yard:

Chair and Leg

With my brother and sister-in-law in town this weekend, I had the extra chair in the family room. Choppy got a picture of that, and someone's leg:

Choppy's food is in one of my bathrooms, but she has never really taken a clear picture in there until late last week:

Almost Birtday Picture

Choppy caught a different angle looking at the park late today:


And also reminds me that, on the day before my 31st birthday, I should probably move the shovel.

Another Dog!

Choppy takes lots of pictures of the park, but she rarely gets pictures of people in the park (I assume that once it gets nicer and there are more people in the park, she will get more pictures of people). But today, she captured a picture of her friend Brownie walking by with his owner, Eleanor:


Also nice to see most of the snow melting away!

Toy Destruction

Choppy destroys her toys with great relish and gusto. That little pink orb? It used to be a pink squeaky pig:


Choppy had torn the ears off of the pig and pulled out its squeaker within a minute of me giving it to her. It currently is half an orb that no longer resembles anything like a pig, though you can still see the swirl of its tail in this picture.

Shameless Product Placement

Perhaps if I put Skittles on my page, Skittles will send me free ones. Hey, it works for celebrities:


Choppy stared at these for about five minutes, as evidenced by a series of photos (well, that, and because I was sitting right next to the Skittles as she stared).

In case you haven't figured it out, Choppy did not take that picture.
