april fools & showers

all my april fool "jokes" are stupid.  this i know. 

• s:  andrew?
• a:  yeah?
• s:  i didn't want to tell you last night, but i hit the pole in my parking spot with my car.
• a:  ugh...
• s:  april fools!
• a:  (not impressed)

however, taking jack out to do his morning business (or numbers as we call them), brought on the best joke of today -- yes, i realize it's only 9 o'clock!

turns out there was something in the grass that turned his mini-feet blue.  BLUE!  here's some proof, but keep in mind that as hard as i tried, there was no way i could capture the magic that is still waltzing around our apartment!

you can kind of see it.

as you can imagine, jack wasn't a fan of me creepin' on his feet.  so, back legs were much easier to sneak up on.

it must've been in the grass.  that's the only explanation that comes to mind.  good thing he chose to not get an a.m. snack -- a.k.a. eat grass.  

i realize that these next pictures didn't occur in april.  that would mean that we would've already gone to the dog park -- ha! -- the reality is that i haven't left the couch in over an hour.  anyways, we just got out of a 2-week rain streak, which brought on some interesting twists to our daily bark park visits.

jack russel terriers were once used for fox hunting, which means that they would have to go down in these tiny holes or dig out the foxes for the hunters.  fast forward to the future -- they are digging machines.

thank goodness he's cured with a wet-one. 
people would ask the next day about the holes.  eventually they just assumed it was him.

at one point it was a little sad -- he would hide in the holes from predators.

everything has dried out now & has been getting in the 80's -- sorry for bragging!
