My evening with Shorty: a play in three acts
Act One:
You want me to do what?
Act Two:
I’m gonna have to think about this. The guy never forces me to do this so-called “Fetch.”
Act Three:
Fine, I’ll allow that this activity has a certain level of enjoyment.

That dog has the best facial expressions! I love the “action” in the last shot.
But seriously that grass?! I mean really… it makes our clover filled yard look ghetto!

Shorty is such a great actor – very expressive ears!

See, with Montana we’ve only achieved Acts 1 and 2. When does Act 3 start?!

ha! there’s no way shorty can deny the joy he’s getting in act 3…

Love the ears!! Tobie’s ears do the same thing, but they flip all the way back. It’s hilarious! Great shots and commentary.

It should be ILLEGAL to have a dog that cute. He makes me salivate. Okay, that sounds WEIRD. But you know what I mean? Right?
Right?

Seriously, is that your lawn? I mean, cute dog, yadda yadda, but I am distracted by all the beautiful, evenly-mowed GRASS.

Pseudostoops,
That IS our lawn.
Jason is an expert lawnmower and gets the lines PERFECT. He’s also very diligent about watering and places the sprinklers *just so* to ensure maximum square footage sprinkling.

That last shot makes me wish for several things:
1) That Tally had ears because Shorty’s ears are AWESOME!
2) That Tally would move past picture #2 and into picture #3 territory.
3) That I had a lawn that she could run around in. No really I wish for your lawn because it’s lovely!

That first photo has KILLED ME DEAD. I like them all, and the last one is adorable, but that first expression … DYING.

Eeek! The more pictures of Shorty you post the more I’m planning his kidnapping. Just a warning! He’s just so cute!!!! I think even Oscar would like him…and he hates everyone!

Brill. He just can’t help himself. My sister-in-law’s kind of like that. She’s determined not to have fun but has it, after all.
I just compared my sister-in-law to your dog.
