Up in the Air, Junior Birddog

Oh, how I love to look at the birds in flight — soaring, majestic, liberated from the surly bonds of Earth. Theirs is the greatest Freedom, and to witness that Freedom is to embrace the hope that on some far-flung day, Dog too shall fly. Until then, I wear these goggles, because sometimes a little Freedom hits me in the eye and that stuff’s nasty.

You have to admire the accuracy, especially when you include the wind factor.

Site’s not ready yet but–good grief–doesn’t Mojo look like he loves his Doggles? He rides regularly on the back of my brother-in-law’s motorcycle in a pouch strapped to my sis.”

    Mojo looks ready for anything that comes up, down, around, over and out. Great pic. Great doggis.

    He just needs to take his harpoon out of his dirty (wrinkled?) red bandana!

      Totally wrinkled! Wish now we’d taken time to iron it. Alas.

        Oh, I don’t know, I think it adds a certain dash, a devil-may-care attitude. He has no time in his adventurous life for such mundanities!

    Great pic, Michelle P – I’m psyched about your new biz! I keep making grumbling noises about wanting to earn money from home, but haven’t gotten that far.

    Mojo looks very sporty in his Doggles.

      Oh, Smartypants! It’s been more than two years now that I’ve been paying this idea lip service. Am *finally* making progress with it! I’m exhausted already and we haven’t even gotten going! LOL I realize now it’s all about baby steps…

    You can tell from the stubby legs and huge noggin that pup is built for SPEED.
