For Shadow Monday we went to get the mail, played Jolly Ball and Shadow rolled.

[George McGovern]

Asked Shadow to go check the mail, so she grabbed up her Jolly Ball.

Per JollyBallRules, she set the ball down and waited for me to kick it.

Which I did, but I mis-kicked.


She was on it in a flash.

Scooped it up and trotted back for more.

But she dropped the ball and decided to go for a roll instead.



We came back inside, Shadow got a drink of water and collapsed on her day bed.


As Shadow settles in for a nap, we'll say Nite Nite and Thanks for visiting!

1. Yay! Shadow Monday!

It sure can brighten up a Monday. Tell your dad thanks from me, Shadow!

Enjoy your nap; you've earned it, pretty girl.

2. Baby Shadow and Big Girl Shadow Thank You MIButterfly! Me too!

[MIButterfly]

3. How adorable!

Thank you, George McGovern!

By the way, the first election I voted in was McGovern/Nixon. They had just lowered the voting age to 18 and I turned 19 a week and a half before election day. And I'm proud to say I didn’t vote for Nixon.

I only vote for Dems; always have, always will. But I digress.

4. Hey But It's A Worthwhile Digression MIButterfly!! Thanks for your vote! Me too in '72!
