For why I've been a bit absent over the last couple of weeks! Here's the first video of my new puppy--and one of the first videos I edited. It's fantastic, having a new puppy, but also time consuming, exhausting and distracting. Add to that a couple of writing deadlines...and well...some days it's been all I do to maintain the basics. Some days I've been in survival mode.
So I haven't written nearly as much as I've wanted to--insert guilt and shame here--but have also realized over the last couple of days that Puck won't be a puppy forever. And I'm learning an editing program. And I've found the back of my brain has been working on my w.i.p., now that I have a few moments to return to it.
I'm working on forgiving myself and not offering excuses, because what good do they do? But I had to post this one...because he's so cute!
I love how one ear is up and the other is down! He's so precious. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat editing :) I like the fade ins and fade outs between scenes.
Aubrie, alas, now both ears are up! (We knew that would happen.)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks!
Aw, he's so cute. I remember when Shiner's ears were "in motion."
ReplyDeleteHe is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAs I watched your video, the rat terrier who lives behind me was greeting someone walking by, so I had authentic sound.
Now...tell me...was there supposed to be sound with this and I don't have my system set up right?
You are right, your mind is working on your WIP in the bg and this break will renew you, as will having Puck, that energetic bundle of fur and flesh and curiosity, in your life!
Is Shiner a rat terrier too, Carol?
ReplyDeleteKathy--he's a rat terrorist! And yes, there is sound with the video.
ReplyDeleteADORABLE! And a very good reason to be away! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI apparently need to download a plugin to see the video. But I do like your new photo!
ReplyDeleteCool puppy. Our dog is like 100 in people years so thse days are well behind him. And I understand about the exhaustion. I'm feeling it too these days as I refine my MS.

Thanks Lisa and Laura--I'm trying to be more consistent--but then the puppy pees on the carpet...
ReplyDeleteYes, Helen, the travails of the electronic world, I have trouble too! Next up, regular photos.
ReplyDeleteStephen--oh, that tight editing is exhausting.
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly lovable and adorable! Worth the sacrifice in your available time, I'd say...
ReplyDeleteDoes he always have one ear up and the other down? I've never seen that before, in a sustained way.
Have fun and enjoy the journey, Conda! You're right: it will go fast.
Perfectly understandable. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh! So, so cute, Conda. Great video skills as well.
ReplyDeleteConda:
ReplyDeleteGreat job, and that little guy is as cute as can be. I am so partial to little dogs. I love them.
My daughter just got two little kittens and they are so energetic, just like your little guy. I am forwarding your post to her. I know she'll love it.
happy trails.
Lynda--both ears are up! And he's twice the weight as four weeks ago! Fast, indeed!
ReplyDeleteTalli--thanks!
ReplyDeleteSwu, me too, obviously--especially little dogs who believe they're as big as Great Danes--like Puck!
