So why is Blitz laughing, because she is a naughty girl, that’s why!  I think she has a very disturbed sense of humor, but what would you expect from someone who says hello by sniffing butts.  Boy, was she pleased with herself or what.

“Don’t you make that face at me Blitz…you are a bad girl!”

Do you remember this flower from my previous post.  What a unique and beautiful orange flower.  I had never seen one like this before.  It must be truly rare.  Worthy of a National Geographic magazine cover no doubt, and I found it!  This flower was probably the only habitat for the equally rare three spotted pygmy jumping spider too.   A potential biological grand slam.  All I need is the perfect shot and fame was going to be  mine!

Lovely, wasn’t it.  The stigma and stamens look kind of like the Pillsbury dough boy.

I got one nice picture, then I carefully, so carefully, framed the next shot.  This was going to be The Money Shot.  “Snap” went the camera and “what the heck” went the photographer.  All I got was a bunch of blurry furry!

It’s a golden retriever Tsunami!

Blitz performed a, 9.5 deserving, Roll of Joy right on top of the rare and beautiful, National Geographic cover worthy, previously undiscovered orange flower, instantaneously crushing it in a blitz of red dog fur.  I could almost hear the members of the Native Plant Society weeping for this tiny bit of tossed salad.

Does this dog look remorseful to you?

Maybe is was just an unfortunately timed Roll of Joy that all golden retrievers are want to do.  Perhaps she was trying to add that extra action or interest needed for an award-winning photograph.  Maybe a cry for help (doubt it).  Whatever the reason, I’ll never know, and she isn’t talking.  Blitz….no doggy biscuits for you!
