The crack of a bat, the gentle breeze of the wind, the chirping of birds, the long, lazy night. Those are the things people associate with the first day of summer. Problem is, the first day of summer is only one day. The day after that goes downhill fast. The crack of the bat becomes a broken bat that you then have to replace. The breeze turns in loud roar. The chirping birds just become annoying. The long, lazy days become shorter EVERY SINGLE DAY until the inevitible first day of winter when the days rally once again to get a little bit longer. Do you realize that? Days immediately become shorter from this day forward. How depressing is that? Pretty dang if you ask me. Maybe not as depressing as me, my blog, or these giftures, but that’s it. We reached the apex last night and now we have to go back down the mountain with nothing left to look forward to. At least we have these giftures right here at least to help us drown our misery in.
We’ve been looking forward to this until…
…great, we’ll never get to see it.
No bunny…
…knows what is going on here.
I think we need to…
…paws here and figure out what happened here.
Looks like dogs understand…
…that first days of summer don’t last.
Eye guess this guy…
…is dog tired.
Guess she thought it was okay…
…not to pay for parking.
I think this lady…
…just struck it poor.
She is just really excited…
…to try her new Tide with bleach.
I wonder if I could do this…
…with my TV.
If only I could dodge like this…
…I wouldn’t have lost to the door yesterday.
This is how I feel every day…
…with my kids.
I think this guy must just might be…
…a-gore-aphobic.
Well, I hope you all enjoy the inevitable demise of light, and happiness that summer provides. The second day of summer that will suck the joy out of all things. Me on the other hand, I will be looking way more forward the second day of winter.
ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I can’t imagine being the bowler. I’m sure that $200 TV cost her a mint.

Yeah, the dog we had when I was younger was always getting spooked.

We like to play hide and seek with Titus and then jump out at him. His reaction is a mixture of mock terror and sheer joy–it’s so sweet!

Sounds like a fun time. My dog growing up didn’t really like when we did it to him.

My favorite one is the guy getting hit by the bull twice. Some people are just magnets for trouble.

It was in triple digits here in May. Try having the “Mom, is it summer?” conversation with a very literal 7 year old who doesn’t understand how high temperatures plus school being in session (not anymore) plus the summer solstice. It just pisses her off. And me.

Yeah, those are the best. I don’t know why summer is such a jerk. It should let kids out when the weather hits triple digits.

I think a general rule of bull arena-manship is to look in the general direction of the bull.

Yeah, that guy just seemed to have some red on his back with a bullseye. Looked painful, but I want to thank him for doing it for my entertainment.
