Yeah I think so . Is that one of yours, certainly has the right size head

Here use this as a sample:

I had no intention of getting another dog after I lost my Helix. This little guy appeared one night a few weeks ago. His name is Toby.

Hi Ya Toby, behave and make nice for the camera
Every person needs to be owned by a dog
Congrats Sandy

bfir, thanks animals always find me. Tell me about Maggie and Henry, are they going at each other all the time? I raised birds for a long time, not parrots, mostly pigeons.

Haven't seen any doggie pics lately, and managed a fair one of Schoonig.
So thought I'd use that as an excuse for a bump.

I do remember when she used to look like your dog. I had more money then, and I was not "into" photography, had never heard of lens lust.

Does this renewed interest in dog photos mean that I need to pay attention to my dogs?

I usually only photograph them on the purchase of new equipment, geez....challenges, birds, church, etc...........well, the dogs are now self entertainers.

For shame on me, and the ragged Yorkie, the other 2 are also self maintaining Corgis. When they blow coat, the hope is that it will eventually fall off.

Here is looking at you, the occasion, a new lens, looks like it was a telephoto:



Hey, the new lens and the one eye focused itself.

ginger (february) this is may now

No one beats my dog and his tongue. He is famous for his tongue! People from all over say, "where is Skye's tongue".



Note focus is on tongue, I think. g

The self entertainer:




The shag, a partial view:



doG, that 300 is a great lens. And to try it out, taking it into a tiny townhouse back yard with 3 attention starved dogs........it was a "howl".

JUst the month BEFORE. Before the 20D and the new lenses, there were
photos like this (I love this photo, the first dog is not mine, Skye is too focused to put his tongue out. That photo really does something for me, down deep where the darkest part of my soul lives, hehe):



and this:




I might be home right now, but I am on the computer, and they have given up on that. The last time we went to the beach was the first part of January. Never thought it would come to this...........

My dogs, dogs, dogs........

Note there are three dogs in the photo, and two of US have the SC shaggy hair.

I LOVE your doggies pics Ginge

Ginger I'd say more time on the doggies and less on those damn birds! Thnxs for sharing

and here are a few from today.

Love them, 4 labs, just love them.

I had an interesting few hours. I left my dogs, not in crates, just in the house, with the back door open. (It was too late to take them to a park, or anywhere).

I went to see if the osprey had babies. I am going to upload and post my photos. No dogs, but not much in ospreys, either. Daddy never did come home and mama was sitting on eggs or babies, don't know which.

I stayed til it was dark. I shot a sunset, a flower, ..........oh, just about anything near me. I was by the side of a road, a busy road that leads to an island. I kept watching the nest, then I shot some cat tails. Etc.

Boy were my dogs glad to see me. And I found the whole thing somewhat amusing. I spent my time by the side of the road, and I have a photo of a flower, a tiny one, would be perfect for the big challenge.

Now your dogs look like they had fun! Your pool? You didn't have to take them anywhere? If I had taken my dogs, I would have been scared one of them would have gotten out of the car somehow into all that traffic.

I really like the expression in that last picture you posted.
