Shadow Shot Sunday #140 ~ Hootie at the Condo

Hootie likes to walk to check the mail and maybe get to visit with a neighbor while he's in Phoenix. He is, in fact, wayyyy more sociable than I. I'm always glad when we go out and there are no people in sight. Since his full name is Hairy "Hootie" Houdini he has streaked out our front door like an escape artist more than once! Then the chase is on. Although normally he spends most of his day acting like my shadow, when he pulls one of his great escapes he acts like he has no idea who I am when I'm calling him. Drives me nuts. Luckily we're in a gated community so I eventually coral him.

For a plethora of Shadow Shots, just go visit Tracy, our hostess from Australia. She can be found at her blog, HeyHarriet.blogspot.com.

Thanks for visiting today. Come again and God Bless your path. love, Cassie

Isn't that just like a doggie, ignoring you when they want to do their own thing!!! Great shots, especially Hootie and his shadow!

Ralph said...

This is a fine scene - the bars of the gate feel like a prison to Hootie it seems. This might explain why is so adept as an escape artist! He does make a cute shadow, be it of him (or you :)

Grand shadow shots for today, Cassie. Hootie sounds like he has a little ornery streak. Cool cactus picture too! Have a great weekend! :)

Love it Cassie! Love those pictures of Hootie as well...what a hoot - ha! Enjoy your week!

Hey Harriet said...

That second shadow makes Hootie look larger than life! Then scrolling down to the second one, and Hootie looks like a little puppy next to that huge cactus! And yes, he looks like a little mischievious escape artist. I guess he just pops out for some socialising :)

Yes I think Sharon's idea about the chickens is a goodie. I had planned on getting some chickens this year, so now I have an excuse to get them earlier than planned. An abundance of fresh free-range eggs in my future! And a grasshopper free-zone :)

Gotta LUV them terriers...when Scratchy decides that she isn't going to listen to me and wanders too far away, I have a full proof method for getting her back...I rattle a mouse trap and she comes runnin'!!!

I'm sure I look a little retarded out in my yard shaking the infernal contraption, however the lingering scent of a deceased rodent is too much for her to ignore...GOTCHA!!!

Enjoy some of that sunshine for me too...OK...!

What a fun shadow to have, that Hootie! He certainly is dwarfed by that gigantor cactus plant.

The JR said...

I like his nick name. Stay away from that cactus Hootie.
