Another cute puppy picture, still taken in the garden of my Bavarian friend! Little doggies are curious and play with everything!

Pretending not to care

Ginger goes out, Mandy comes in. Both are feigning indifference, but secretly I think Ginger is relieved at not having to tramp around anymore so I can get the perfect photo, and Mandy is looking forward to more attention - she's been rather neglected since the puppies came, I'm afraid!
I've loved taking pictures of Ginger; she's a grand old girl. Most of my favorite photos from this year are of Ginger, as she is so photogenic. Thanks, Ginger, for being so patient!

2010 in review, part 2:
I wanted to do Ginger as my first project, since she was nine years old. Well, a year later, she's turned a decade old, and she's still going strong! She’s the only one not causing trouble these days – she just lives her life and tries to stay out of the way of the puppies! Mandy, on the other hand, was diagnosed with cancer five months ago – so 2011 is definitely her year!
Throughout this project I’ve dealt with light (still the bane of my existence!), with smelly dogs, and with heat. The most popular photo on my photostream is Ginger’s - actually eight of my top ten are!
I hope the coming year won’t be too boring – two black dogs at once instead of one black dog and Ginger – but Cody and Mandy both deserve the spotlight this year.
So here’s to another fun year of taking lots of photos of our dogs!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check out Promise's last photo of the year, here.
P.S. This is the only oak tree on our property. When we first moved into this house, I was 13 - and I could almost look over the top of it!
All done

She is all done, and happy.
We had to coax her out to go potty, but she was happy to run out the yard really quick.
She's got food and water close and she's finally able to sleep some. You can see cardboard behind her in this picture.. I took a big box and cut a short so it was open.. and wrapped it around the back of the puppy bed, to give it more of a "den" feel.. she was happier after I did that and finally put her head down and closed her eyes.

Ginger doesn't get up on my bed too often, but she's always happy to oblige if she's invited up. She generally tends to lie around a lot - she likes to stay out of everybody's way. Often you'll find her underneath the dining room table or against the couch in the living room, curled up in a little ball. She can get wound up when she wants to, though...
Really didn't want to push this week's photo to next week, so I just snapped this one quickly. Heavily edited to make it look decent - I don't think I was very successful, though. Hopefully this coming week will be less crazy and I'll be able to spend some time on getting a good picture.
I do intend to get Week 7's picture of the puppies taken tomorrow - I have something very specific and purposeful in mind. Then the puppies' Week 8 photo, hopefully, will follow soon after.

Lucy was our first dog. She was rescued from the street in Nashua as a tiny pup. We believe she was a german shepherd / pit bull mix. She weighed in around 55 pounds and was an extremely powerful dog. She naturally took up sentry and protection duty around the house and became an amazing watch dog. Unfortunately Lucy was also very sick. She had a condition called Megaesophagus which created serious problems with her being able to eat and drink. She was constantly getting medicines, treatments, subcutaneous fluids, etc. After 19 months, we had to put Lucy down because she could no longer eat. She was a fighter and not a single vet ever thought she was sick until you saw the pictures of her insides. I miss her bunches.

I love this photo. I really wanted to try to get a sun flare, but I'm happy with the little bit of flare I got in the corner. And I love how she's yawning.

Cody's got a stick and she's not afraid to use it.
Oh noes

Of all the dogs I've taken photos of, Cody has been the first one to ever have her eyes shut.
Boredom strikes

This is what happens when Cody decides she's bored of watching me take photos of her and everything around her. She lunges and I'm caught off balance!
