Roxy, Huckleberry Hound, Billy Bob Thornton... A Photographic Study

I want you to meet our little Cockapoo (no, not a cockatiel... that's all different) Roxy. Sometimes known as Rox for short, other times known as dumber than a box of rocks, but always sweet as candy dipped in syrup and cuter than elf turds.




Awwwwwwwww.....


Now... this is a spot where I fed the sheep all winter, just lump of lousy dried out hay and I threw a match at it the other day to get rid of it. It burned all up into a big black pile of poofy ash.






This is a picture of a cartoon character named Huckleberry Hound. One of my favorite cartoons from way on back. Huck always was singing "Clementine" and happy 'bout just pert near everything on earth. When my daughter Amanda was little she called him "the little blue doggy".






A couple days ago I looked out at the spot where I'd burned the haypile and saw Roxy. I might not ever had noticed her if she hadn't been carrying on like a fish you'd thrown out on the pond dam. Flippin' and floppin all over. Rooting and rolling and just generally enjoying burned hay ash. I don't have any answers. We laughed til we couldnt stand up.






This pose says it all. She's so proud of the new look she's created, and in this shot looks particularly Huckleberry Houndish.






I may have changed my mind. That smile on her face looks a little more like Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade than Huckleberry Hound.







She had a little bit of smokers hack for a couple days. Took 2 baths to get her decent to go in the house again. When she ran across the yard she poofed like Pigpen in the Peanuts comic strip.


That's my dog.


*sigh*
