Finally, looking at me near the family room couch:

Not a Duck This Time

Choppy took a picture of a bird on the front porch railing this morning:


It's on the right side of the railing.

Makeup and Shoes

Choppy watches me get ready every morning, and yesterday she caught me putting on my makeup:


I'm on the left.

Watch Out for Giant Ducks

Choppy's newest toy (courtesy her friends Atticus and Bailey, who stayed with us this weekend):


It's a duck, and that's the duck's beak and eye.

A Walk in the Park (and Continued Bad Behavior)

Usually, Choppy's pictures on our walks are quite blurry. But this morning, she managed to capture a few decent shots. This one is looking up at the sky (I actually think that her collar got flipped around so the camera was looking up - this happens when she has her leash on):


She also snapped a picture of the park's soccer field while we walked:


And then I left her for the day. Unsurprisingly, she sat on the couch like a bad dog:

The Good Couch

Another view from the family room couch (the one Choppy is allowed on), looking up at the ceiling and the door to the dining room and the door to the bathroom:

Watching TV

A bit of an abstract picture of Choppy sitting on the couch with me last night, watching TV (and unhappy that DirecTV was not working):


And I was the one watching TV, not Choppy.

More Bad Behavior from Choppy

So, it appears Choppy spent the entire afternoon lying on the couch. Except for this brief moment where she appears to have stood up on the couch to look outside:

Prepared for Rain

I'm leaving for work (as you can see on the left), but Choppy snapped a picture of the umbrella in the corner (as well as my shoes and the cord I used for my Christmas lights outside):

Choppy seems to catch a lot of pictures of my skirt moving:


She took this one yesterday while I was getting ready to go back to work after lunch.

Morning Sun

Just after I left for work yesterday, Choppy took some pretty pictures of sunlight in the park and on my neighbor's house:

Choppy Loves the Couch (and Being Bad)

Choppy was a bad dog this morning while I was at work:


When I first started looking at the pictures she took this afternoon, I thought she might have been better and stayed off of the couch:


Turns out, just looking at the couch was short-lived:


I should know better than to think the dog will be good while I am at work.

Elephant

Choppy's elephant toy:


Like all her toys, it used to squeak. And like all but one of her toys, it no longer squeaks.

Cooking Supper

Choppy watched me cook supper last night:


Always hoping that something will come her way!

Getting Dark

Choppy looked out into the park earlier this evening:


As you can see, it has snowed again here in Terre Haute.

Laundry Time

Choppy came down to the basement while I did laundry:


She isn't allowed in the basement when I am not with her - for whatever reason, she thinks it's a giant toilet. Not pleasant.

Dog Leg

Dog leg and, in the background, my family room fridges with some things on top of them (for beer and wine, naturally):

Vertigo

A vertigo inducing view of the corner of my bedroom, looking over my bed:


Note the awesome wallpaper and border I get to see every night. It's like the 80s all the time!

Reindeer

A reindeer toy:


Yet another of Choppy's many, many toys.

Sarah Leaves for Work

A series from yesterday, showing me leaving Choppy to head back to work at lunch.

First, I am getting ready to leave.


There was a picture of nothing, then Choppy looking out the side window at me leaving in the car:


And then, the car is gone:

Enemy No. 2

Choppy caught me steaming the rugs (she was a bit sick earlier in the week):


Her second greatest enemy is the steam cleaner. Second only to the vacuum cleaner.

Park People

Choppy caught a picture of a person running in the park yesterday:

Now You See It...

Actually, it's the other way around. Now you don't see it (well, except for a bit in the lower right hand corner):


A minute later, you see the whole thing:

The Real Thing

Coke on the coffee table:



Taken while I played Guitar Hero the other night.

Toy Time

One of Choppy's many toys:



It looks surprisingly good in this picture. In real life, it's a half stuffed old toy she has been dragging around for months.

Park and Swing

A look at the park over the porch swing:


I am guessing that Choppy was looking at something on the corner - probably another dog.

Backyard Fun

Choppy hanging out in the backyard over the weekend:


Not much snow left, but it is quite cold!

Game Time!

Go Bears!


It's a Christmas Bears snow man I have on my family room couch (or did, until I put away the Christmas decorations).

iPod Speakers

A picture of my iPod speakers on my living room table:


They really don't look so good in real life.

Ready for Supper

Choppy wss looking at the dining room table yesterday while my friends Kaylan and Travis were over to watch a movie:


She's looking through a chair that is normally in my living room, but was in my family room while I had guests, so everyone would have somewhere to sit.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday, Mom!


I'm sure looking at a picture of the dog watching you at the fridge reminds you why you don't want one of your own.

Moving Skirt

I love this picture:


It's my skirt, and I think it is in the kitchen.

Time Marches On...

Choppy fell asleep on her back:



This is a picture look up a wall at a light switch and a clock on the wall - appropriate for the new year.
