i came home for lunch today and found norman with one of his favorite things, a tennis ball. i swear, he entertains himself for hours dropping it on the hardwood floors then chasing it wherever it bounces. so after lunch i step out onto the backporch to play fetch with sweet, sweet normie.
norman and i are playing fetch from the porch because i didn't have shoes on. he fetches, mckenzie stands on the porch barking, i throw, repeat, repeat, repeat. (below, a pic of mckenzie barking from said porch*)
on one trip back, norman didn't come up the stairs, he went to the side of the porch*, seen here:
suddenly, mckenzie's barking reaches a new level and my precious tiny girl, who at her tallest is seven inches off the ground, JUMPS from said porch to the ground over THREE FEET BELOW. i gasp, i scream, norman stops in his tracks, stunned. i mean, this is literally probably far enough to break all her tiny twig-like legs.
"that's like me jumping off a building...mckenzie are you okay!?!?!," i scream aloud, as a jogger passing by stares at me with a VERY puzzled look (considering i was the only other human in the backyard).
mckenzie landed on all fours, looked around, turned around, and walked back up the stairs as if nothing had happened. as if to say, "oops. didn't mean to do that." so calm, so cool. so FREAKING FUNNY. i mean, three feet is a long way to go for a creature that is seven inches tall. it was like it was happening in slow motion, with me going..."NOOOOOOOOOO!"
a reinactment*:
whew. i can't stop laughing. i hope this translates, otherwise i'm sorry that you can't have that minute of your life back. heehee...
*all pictures are reinactments. no animals were hurt in the production of this blog. ; )
