Thing 17: Interrupting Tootsie!

Doot doo doo, doot doo doo. Just walkin' on the table here. La, la, la la...

Oh hai! Hello there! Whatcha' lookin' at?

Oh, some pretty flowers, eh? Well, that's nice. Those showers sure are pretty. I guess you've got plenty of pretty things to look at. So. You won't be needing me here, then.

Fine, I'm outta' here. Seeya' later.

[Insert Tootsie butt here.]

...I hate flowers.

Thing 16: A gift for you!

Flowers!

...in a vase!

...in our apartment!

...in Tyler!

...in DECEMBER!!!

I got these flowers for you. I hope they brighten your day!

Thing 15: Tootsie's Modeling Career

Watching the Ultimate game a while back, Tootsie did a photo shoot of two of the best things in the world: Ultimate (a disc), and herself! Just look at her, fitting perfectly into the disc...

Er... Okay, so she got turned around. This next shot is pretty sweet, though...

Okay, I think she was a little shy on this shoot. The point was to get her to sit or stand in the disc, at least long enough for one good camera phone photo!...

And here's Tootsie retreating to her trailer. We almost had to call off the shoot entirely. She does not tolerate amateur photographers. At all. She just stayed in there and wouldn't even make eye contact with me...

But finally, after a few hours of pictures and some costly bribes, we got one usable shot of these two awesomest things...

Tada!... A Tootsie in a disc. Cuuuute!

Eventually, Tootsie grew to like Ultimate so much, she had her trailer redecorated to incorporate a disc into its architecture. Tootsie is truly an artist ahead of her time. Hope you enjoyed it!

Thing 14: Tootsie Goes Outside!

Well, what have we here?

Why, it's the Tootsie again! This time she's outside, in her natural habitat. :)  (her bag)

Experience the majesty! She's watching the Ultimate game very intently.

Her left side is her other good side.

Tootsie takes a moment out of her busy schedule to make friends. Look how friendly she is!

That was Hannah - probably the best female Ultimate player in town, and also Tyler's girlfriend. (The young man, not the town. That's just weird.)

Alright, one more. Tootsie back in her cave.

What tricks can Tootsie perform in the outdoors? Tune in tomorrow to find out!

Thing 13: Scooter!

After a long wait, here are more fun things in Tyler, TX!!

Not the dog you were looking for, I bet. This is Scooter!

He runs!...

He catches!...

He retrieves!...

I don't know what kind of dog he is, but he is kind of big, really likes to play, and got all up in Tootsie's face once at Ultimate (not in an aggressive way). We keep them separate now. Maybe someday they will be friends. But probably not.

Scooter is trained only to go after colored discs, so he doesn't ruin game discs. Crazy, huh? I thought dogs were colorblind. Here's a picture of Scooter with her owner (Tyler), and a lil' Tootsie in the background. Stay tuned for more picture-based awesomeness!

We'll be back to all-Tootsie all the time soon enough...

Thing 12: Ultimate People vol.2

Here we are again. More far, far away grainy pictures from my sidelined camera phone!

Woah. Intimidating line!

Ridiculous marking skills!

And cross-field flick hucks!! No really, that guy's one of the best on the field. :)  He's also a doctor.

And, the grand finale... raw footage video!!

That's right, two sideline layouts/stretching catches in a row! That's how intense these folks are. Okay, so my image capture skills are terrible, but we really do have some good players here who keep me and each other running, playing D, and jumping for every disc.

You will no doubt dominate here once you're ready to take the field again.

That's it (until next practice!) for the on-field ultimate antics. But there are a few other, non-field Ultimate antics you'll like even more. Yet again, stay tuned in the upcoming days for what was going on next to me on the sidelines!

Thing 11: Tootsie Tries to Speak (now with BONUS KISSING!)

She sure tries.
