It's A Right Hook

I took these photos of Cap and Bugsy playing on Monday afternoon. They’ve become quite the pair of anything-goes competitors (the only thing we haven’t seen yet is kick-boxing). We’ve had other opportunities in recent weeks to take some photos of them in action, but every time they hear the door open as we step out with the camera, or Cap sees us, they break off and run to us. So this time I took the photos through the glass of the storm door and had to shoot over the railings on the front porch. Bugsy is completely blind but weighs three times what Cap does, yet Cap is one-eyed and wily, so it turns out to be pretty even competition. In the photo above, Bugsy is delivering a right hook.

In this next one they’ve switched from boxing to sumo wrestling, which you would think must favor the heavier of the duo:

Unless, of course, you’re blind and you suddenly lose, um, sight of your opponent, which can make things a bit awkward:
