Since she was tiny, she's loved to crunch, carry, and toss the spiky sweetgum tree pods that fall by the thousands this time of year. She'd swallow them, too, if we didn't watch her! But like a cat, she plays with her food first - picking them up, tossing them with her mouth, and then pouncing on them with gusto. She plays alone, and it's utterly charming.

Uh-oh. Them there crazy fighting girls have got themselves in trouble with the patriarch!

This shot made me laugh, so much going on!

These two love to compete over toys! They're actually fairly well-matched, and it doesn't hurt that when push comes to shove, Audrey will yield to Patches (usually). They love to play like this.

Audrey loves to steal DJ's rope toy and race around with it, taunting him. Actually, she's taunting Patches more than DJ, because after he loses his toy he ignores it and doesn't even try to get it back. Audrey wishes he'd at least chase her and TRY!

I had something entirely different planned for week four, not yet another shot of serious Audrey sitting still - but sometimes stuff just happens. I fell in love with this shot and all the rest will have to wait.

She's wearing a martingale collar I made for her... I found a pattern and have been madly making them for the girls, practicing. It'll be a while before I'm happy with the results, but it's fun and easy to do.
