Poor Gracie didn’t get much attention today. She spent the bigger part of the afternoon alone in the office. She’s as good-hearted as they come, but she’s… well, she’s a klutz. And she doesn’t pay attention. She would just as soon walk right over top of a little one as around — it would be fair to say she’s just not the kind of dog that “gets it” when it comes to kids. At first, she wasn’t happy about the arrangement, but after speaking with Libby (who was poked in the eye, had her wagging tail bopped a bajillion times, and called a “Goog Gog” more times that I care to count), she came to terms with it.
Have you noticed that when family is together, it doesn’t take much to bring about a laugh or at least a big ole’ smile? Ben was showing great-g’ma a video of Coco putting on pretend lotion, and it sure looks like everyone enjoyed that one. Except Gracie… who was at the office.
And for the record, I can’t see SHIT so great anymore. I took photos today (at the first family cookout of the spring/summer) without my glasses. I know I should’ve known better. Rather than shoot on manual mode like I customarily do, I THOUGHT I turned the knob to automatic. But no! I honestly do not know what setting it was, but I still got a couple ‘keepers’. Let this be a lesson… if you can’t see, you can’t expect to get a ton of great shots, but you still might get a little lucky. If it’s Saturday. And if you’re not a big blonde dog who isn’t attentive to kids.
