Default It's A Dog's Life---

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---

Fall Collage of my dogs

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

Sprite

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

Darby

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.---

Heading to Mom

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

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.
