I love it when I can catch the attention of a dog and he or she strikes a pose!  Some dogs are extremely interested in the click of the shutter, so whenever I take a photo, they look my way.  Of course, when I’m trying to compose the shot, they’re looking everywhere else but toward me.  It’s after they hear the shutter that they look at me!  That’s when the continuous shooting mode on the camera comes in handy because I can fire off a number of images quickly while the dog still has their ears up and an interested look.   This dog has gorgeous expressive eyes!

One of my most favorite pet portraits ever!  I just love this little dog!

Today was a perfect summer day…. sun, clouds, temperatures in the low 80’s and not much humidity.  I’d like to just push the “repeat” button and have this day continue over and over for the rest of the summer!  This is a peaceful scene of the boat docks on the lake near my house.  Come the weekend, this lake will be filled with motor boats, jet skis, and folks swimming, fishing, and water skiing.  For today, though, it was serene and quiet…just how I like it!

These parti-colored cocker spaniels sure love to party!  Cockers come in 3 varieties based on color:  black, ASCOB [any solid color other than black] and parti [two or more solid colors, one of which must be white].  I think the conversation between these two went something like this: 
Dog on left:  “I’m taller than you are!”
Dog on right:  “No you’re not!”
Dog on left:  “Hellooo, I’m looking at the top of your head!”
Dog on right:  “Okay, you win, but your breath is TERRIBLE!”

I think this Shih Tzu could possibly be the next “spokes-dog” for Cover Girl mascara…what do you think?  Aren’t they the longest eyelashes you’ve ever seen on a dog?
