I Do Have a Huband and Two Dogs . . . March 5, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Exercise, Family, My Former Dog Children, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah , trackbackThis may be hard to believe, but I do actually have a HUSBAND and two DOGS. Yeah, I know I don’t mention them much because Hannah Bear is SO DANG CUTE she kind of overshadows everyone else. Plus, David isn’t developing at an astronomical rate like Hannah, so there’s not much to document about his development. 
And the dogs? Well, they are LAZY OLD LADIES that sleep 22 hours a day. It is SERIOUSLY BIG WORK to be our family pets and they take their job very seriously. The camera loves Hannah (and she seems to love it) and this is why we have over 5,000 photos of her and like 10 photos of the dogs. Plus, if I took more photos of Kyaha and Paris, the pictures would be of various sleeping positions.
Every day, Hannah asks to go for a walk. She gets her “glasthes” (sunglasses) on and the whole family goes for walk. Kyaha and Paris must sleep with one ear open because they perk up when the buzzword “walk” is mentioned. Once the dogs are riled up and running in circles around the house (on the hope they will be going with us), it is impossible to say “not right now” to any of them.
David brought a tennis ball on our last walk (which is almost impossible to do since we have ONE ball and Hannah usually hides it in a very, very, safe place.) The dogs LOVE to run at full speed chasing anything that moves. I tried to capture them running, but without a NIKON D80 (which we both desperately want) it is virtually impossible to catch a 35 mile an hour dog on camera without it being a big smear. So I have one photo of Dave and Kyaha. She is our loving, obedient dog that always does what we ask. I asked her to pose for a photo, and well, here it is:
Notice how Paris is missing? That is because she becomes TOTALLY DEAF when she is off leash. She was too busy running around the field, sniffing EVERY CORNER, trying to find the RIGHT place to pee. Like it even matters. . .
Hannah discovered something very interesting in the field. DIRT. Yeah, she looked at it like, “What the heck is this stuff?” She was so busy making a “Zen Garden” that she didn’t realize the dirt was MESSY and she was making a MESS. If she had, this would have really troubled her. David took this photo as I looked away, trying to imagine that my child was not actually playing in (and enjoying) the dirt.

I would love the Nikon D80 too! It is an amazing camera. I just bought the D40 because it was a fraction of the price, but my goal is to someday get the D80. My friend has one and she loves it.
What a coincidence, I JUST ordered the D40 last night. I was also wishing for the D80 but I had to settle for now. I know from experience what you mean about trying to photograph a running dog and only getting a big smear.
Oh and look at all that dirt all over Hannah. Rather, look away, that can’t be happening!
