Happy Easter

Happy Easter dear readers. Frodo here. Although the world is on hold – Easter is still here. So we may celebrate differently- but we still celebrate.

And of course, part of our celebration includes the obligatory rabbit ears.

As usual, I was cooperative. You could put almost anything on my head, and if it involves treats, I am more than willing to cooperate. Bunny ears don’t really bother me – I was more annoyed with the brushing that took place pre photo shoot.

Her highness didn’t even bother to attempt to get any individual shots with the beatnik – she knew it would be futile. Here is our series of shots taken together. At first, he is annoyed:

Then he appears indignant. This is coming from a guy who rolls in leaves, becomes covered in them and is quite happy with his appearance.

Then he puts on the sad expression.

And FINALLY, he puts his ears up and manages to appear at least moderately interested.

I should add that we were getting treats and were playing with toys in between every second shot of the 539 photos taken.

So. You would THINK that would suffice. But no. Clearly her highness has WAY too much time on her hands. She decided to do an Easter selfie. The one very interesting part of this gong show was the fact that the beatnik was more interested this time. Perhaps because he saw her highness wearing the ears, he thought it was now fashionable to wear them. You will note his expression is happier in these. Or at least somewhat happier. In the first one he is quite happy to see her looking as ridiculous as we do.

In this one, he is even giving her a kiss.

Here he is actually smiling!

And here he looks at the camera – and smirks…

All I can say is I’m glad no one watched this. Mind you – we are now publishing the results for all the world to see. This is what quarantine will do to you!

Today we’ll get some extra walks and perhaps will have the chance to find some tiny balls in the woods – left by the Easter bunny. Not if her highness has anything to say about it though. She did say we would play find-the- treats hidden around the house. Probably a bit healthier than actual bunny balls.

Anyway – enjoy your Easter – and take a minute to reach out to family and friends who cannot gather with you this year. Yes – things are different – but different can still be good.

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
