Amazing Grace at play
Let me know when you've had enough of the Hazel Run Pack...
Hazel Run's Amazing Grace knows that on cold winter days you have to play fast and hard to stay warm.
There are days that Grace moves fast enough and plays hard enough to keep the whole Hazel Run Pack warm! On a typical play day, Grace will warm up with a fine case of the Zoomies. She scrambles across the snow... ...she cavorts with abandon... ...she makes a magnificent twisting leap... ...and comes up with...

"Grace?"
"Nom nom...yes, Mom? Nom..." "I've got your muzzle." "mbbbmmmbmmm..." By this time, King Ember and Princess Lil Belle are thinking that Grace is having too much fun and they aren't getting in on any of it. They prance over to where the HRM is hanging on to Grace's muzzle.

"Hey, Mom! We'll take over from here!"
The Hazel Run Mama lets go of Grace and stands back to watch the fun. "Okay, Mom, here we go..." "Woof- Woof, Grace!" A pause.... ...and she's off!! "Can't catch me, Ember!"

Princess Lil Belle decides it's high time she get back into the game. But Ember and Grace are too busy to pay her much attention. She creeps closer and closer while Grace and Ember wrestle and even reaches out to tap her brother on his shoulder. Still, they ignore her. But the Princess doesn't give up, and eventually the two combatants stop and take notice.
"She's still looking at me, isn't she, Ember?" "Yes, Grace. I think she wants to play." "She's certainly noisy enough, Ember. What are we gonna do about that?" "Well, maybe, if we both bark at her..." "...we can drown her out!"

After a fine game of making Lil Belle popular, all three of the rowdies are pretty tuckered.
They pant happily all the way up the deck stairs to the door and wait patiently till the Hazel Run Mama lets them in. The rest of the Pack is waiting for them. "Hurry up! We're napping!" "I love naps!" carols Amazing Grace. She settles in a patch of sun streaming in through the window. Ember and Lil Belle settle on Kuranda beds. And, for a brief moment in time, all is quiet at Hazel Run. the end

Me too !!!
I just love watching them at play and love the "stare down" pics. And, of course, always love the nap time ones. |

The problem is that they're just too busy being cute... I weeded through all the pics I took in January....weeded again...and yet again...and was still left with 277 to print when I went into Wal*Mart last Thursday. I'm spending all my time going through pictures instead of cleaning house ...not that you can notice since I never was much of a housekeeper.

She's fast as lightning when those little legs get going--and slippery as a greased pig! She darn near does get away...but she can't resist going back to body block her pursuer and that's when she gets caught!
Quote:
She plays like that all the time--she won't chew on my fingers and never does damage to the gloves, though. I think it's a holdover from her first house--they had kids and I think she learned to be very gentle with hands...even if she does want to 'gum' them all the time. It's very puppyish behavior, tempered by good judgment on her part about what's 'too hard'. She's a good little girl.

She's practicing her in-your-face-all-four-feet-off-the-ground-leap-and-face-shmookie just for her Auntie Frenchy! She must practice constantly so that when you arrive at the gate in your ninja dog-napping suit, she's ready to great you!

Tell her she doesn't have to practice too much , I'm only 5"2

It's too fun to practice for her to give it up anytime soon. I'll tell her she doesn't need to launch herself so high, though.

Nope. No flesh. 'cept in the shot where she's chewing up by the wrist. But she's very gentle...just sort of gums it. And she won't chew on fingers. She's a very good girl.
