Mississippi Kite?

I took this photograph early Friday morning of last week. Initially I thought it might be a Red Shouldered Hawk because they are always around the neighborhood but then I notice the coloring was different and it let me get a lot closer. After a little internet search I am going to guess Mississippi Kite but I could be wrong.

So Oshie had an exciting weekend. It kicked off with a trip to the groomer Saturday morning. He received the full treatment including a bath, haircut, nail trimming and anal gland expression. The last part is something I prefer to leave to the professionals. Not something I am interested in performing no matter how much I love my dog.

handsome golden retriever — Cell phone shot so forgive the quality. Looking handsome after his grooming!

The rest of the day was spent being lazy and watching movies as it was way too hot outside. Sunday morning we got up early and headed out on our weekend morning ritual of a car ride and a trip to either Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks for some coffee. This time we decided to go with Starbucks. Oshie loves going on rides and hanging his goofy face out the window and into the rushing wind but what he really enjoys about these weekend trips is getting a treat. As I have mentioned in the past, Starbucks will give you a cup of whipped cream for free and they call it the Puppuccino. I always feel stupid asking for one but Oshie loves it. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoy this video of Oshie with his Puppuccino. (his stance kills me haha)

Knocking The Dirt Loose

A little tug of the E-Brake going into the corner onto the dirt section knocks the dirt loose from the rear left wheel.

Working Hard

It is amazing to watch how hard the teams work to keep the cars competitive during the course of a race weekend. In scorching heat and disgusting humidity the mechanics and engineers work non-stop to keep the cars going.
