pouncey as 'evita' in community theater

condensation crosses

driving to church (the woods) this morning

pouncey has 2 balls

and he lifts his leg when he pees! sometimes. okay one time.

favorite colors

it's a landslide of blue!

this is from 4th grade - 1986. 

why does everybody hate yellow?

holding hands...and feet

is that cunnin or what?

charles darwin on expressing love

Man himself cannot express love and humility by external signs, so plainly as does a dog, when with drooping ears, hanging lips, flexuous body, and wagging tail, he meets his beloved master. 

-charles darwin 

pouncey is great at expressing highly enthusiastic love

first grade diary

this was my first diary. i was 7 years old. seems so cute and innocent, right? where a girl who could barely write would write about bunnies and rainbows. 

but no, instead i filled it with the names of every kid in my class and graded their appearance, intelligence, and niceness. also added their phone numbers. 

what a little witch i was! as much as i'd like to be an INFP, there's no denying i am an INFJ. i probably should have channeled this judginess into becoming a college admissions officer. 

boys impeticular

this is what happens when you make third graders do current events reports

scissorpaws

pouncey is so pigeon toed that he is scissor pawed! never is this more apparent than when he is bounding through a meadow. 

he also does a mean chow chow impression: 
 

the grace of the nacho

behold! the most nimble 9 and a half year old labrador retriever on the planet! able to transform himself into a rainbow to leap upon a rock! it's nachodoggy! and his sidekick pouncey tennisball mouth!

a very romantic moment
