It's A Dog's Life---

[sheltiesmama]

I guess I am a little obsessed with my dogs and I know they get tired of my camera. Anyhow, here I go again, but at least this time I'll show you some more besides mine.

This is a collage of my guys. I've learned to use the telephoto on them so they don't know I'm taking pics---



This is Sprite. She's a little terrier mix I met at a recent dog show---



This little sweetheart is Darby. Yes, she's a sheltie, no she's not mine. She belongs to a friend of mine---



This lab is Butter. She was only too happy to help me work on my action shots. She was running back up the hill after fetching her toy from the water.---



Thank you for looking. Comments are always welcome & appreciated.

Great shots Shirley, love the emotion captured in these, the 2 dogs, chin to chin in the first collage is incerdable.
Gotta ask though, what on earth is that the dog is carrying in the last shot? sure hope its not what it looks like?
Great work as always from you.

LOL Glyn. What did you think it was? It's actually a bumper for a boat. The size she has is for a smaller boat. People use them to train retrievers because they float and also because they are very durable and can stand up to tough chewers. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thanks Leona. My brother says that when he dies he wants to come back as a dog and live at my house. Yes, My dogs are very special to me, but then they are supposed to be.
