Jakesprinter SUNDAY POST: Pet

Jakesprinters Sunday Post this week is pets.  I thought I would highlight just one of my 4-legged kids.  Mac is the most demonstrative of everyone.  She definitely knows what she wants and usually gets it.  Mac or MacKenzie has trained both Chris and I well on how to treat her.  She loves adventure especially when it comes along with a car ride.

We adopted Miss MacKenzie from a local Pug Rescue organization about 5 years ago.  She was found in Bend, Oregon and obviously just had a litter of puppies.  Although there were no puppies when they found her in the streets.  She was about 10 months old and weighed barely 10 pounds.  Pugs normally weight between 15 and 20 pounds.   She was potty trained when we got her and also knew sit and down.  Pugs are notorious for knowing the word “come” but they choose to ignore it.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy my little show of the Many Faces of our little Miss MacKenzie.  Just click on any photo to get a full sized slide show.  ENJOY!!!

Hugs and blessings Cee

Mother Goose

Chris and I love to go to one of our parks and feed the geese and ducks.  There is one goose, I don’t know if it male or female, that is quite dominant, vocal and vicious.  Here is a photo it squawking away.

Here are some other photos of geese that I’ve taken.  These geese by the way are nearly waist high.  They are HUGE.  Just click on one of the smaller versions to see a full sized slideshow.  ENJOY!

Miss MacKenzie and Mt Hood

Photo from Amazon.com

Today was the first day in ages where the sun came out and no rain in the forecast.  In fact, we should not have rain for the next couple of days.  So Chris and I took a drive around Canby just to see the sun and do a little more exploring on the back roads.  We did find an old homestead cemetery from Aurora Colony.   Both of us decided to do a photo shoot when we didn’t have the pugs and Chris had her camera.  Plus we want late evening with long shadows or a drizzly day for this photo opp.

We also tried out our new pet hammock in the back seat of our car.  We brought both our pugs with us.  Miss MacKenzie loves car rides.  She usually goes everywhere with us.  She also has us well trained to hold her on our laps so she can look out the windshield.  But with this new hammock I won’t be so full of pug fur.  Now, the trick is to train MacKenzie who is a jumper to stay in back.

I was able to take this photo of her trying to look out the windshield….Isn’t she just so totally pathetic?

I did happen to get a cool photo of Mt Hood too.

Rois has an interesting challenge every week, where she picks a song and we find photos to make the topic of the song.  So here is my interpretation of the week’s Wednesday Song Title Interpretation: Just The Two Of Us.  It’s kind of a continuation of my Theme Tuesday which was all about things that make me smile which I posted this week.  Hope you all ENJOY!
