Chica plays with electric razor

Chica likes playing with my electric razor, which I really don’t use because I shave with a blade.

Actually, I think she has a love/hate relationship with the machine because she seems to want to discipline it with vigorous swats when I turn it on and put it on the floor. I think the hair between her paw pads, which is fairly long, also gets a trim when she touches the razor before giving it a good pounding.

I’m not sure how to interpret her striking attitude toward razor except maybe there’s a little anti-luddite reproach happening?

A Sunday in the backyard.

A few weeks ago, before the cold and snow of real winter, me and the kids enjoyed playing in the enclosed backyard Sunday mornings. Here’s just under thirty minutes of our play. Enjoy if you’ve got the time!

Baldo plays…

Baldo and Chica like to chase twigs, leaves, feathers, toy mice; any item I can tie to the end of some string, twine, or, especially, fly line. I have cut about fifteen feet of weight forward floating fly line–it’s actually easy to manuever, to give movement to whatever I’ve tied to the end of the line for play time–just for this purpose.

The following video shows me playing thusly with Baldo. I think I have a 4-5 inch twig attached. Hopefully, despite the shadows, you’ll see Baldo chase it as I turn in a circle after tempting him by pulling it through the grass.

Actually, it’s a lot like fly fishing. I’m trolling for the big catch!
