Simply Sharrvelous

Mattie has taken this elderly husky under her wing.  Whenever she sees her, she stops and treats her gently.  I think it’s sweet that Mattie’s mommy instinct kicks in.

Mattie loves to sniff things on her walks.  In this set of pictures, she investigates several smells.

This is the look on Mattie’s face when she realizes it’s time to go for a walk.  Walking around the neighborhood is one of her favorite activities, of course.

On our way back from the Rambla one day, we stopped for an ice cream at the little shop down the stairs.  Mattie loved hers, as you can see, and it took longer than usual because it was frozen solid.  She has a look of such joy on her face.

Mattie has become a camera hound.  When she sees the  camera out, she starts posing.  Here, she’s got the wind off the river in her fur.

We finally got her across the Rambla, and she dragged herself along at as slow a pace as possible.   That is, until we passed the shop where we occasionally buy her ice cream.  Then she wanted to go in and kept looking hopefully.  No, she’s never been able to go in, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to.

Mattie pitched a fit on the sidewalk of the Rambla, refusing to leave the beach.  This went on for about a quarter hour.  Really stubborn Sharr who loves her beachies.

Mattie strolls in front of the murals at the yacht club on the Rambla.  They were done a few years ago  to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the club.  Mattie just likes being close to them because she knows she’s close to beachies.

These two pictures were taken as Mattie came over a rise with the sun behind her.  Doesn’t she look cute?

So she’s not quite Michael Jackson, but she was dancing!
