I have an appointment to prelim his hips and elbows on Tuesday morning!

So there you have it…I think you are all up to date!

I have been working on using the flash and getting good indoor photos without the dreaded “pet eye” (kind of like red-eye in humans, but harder to fix!)

So I just started taking pictures of my dogs doing what they do… haha.

A few from tonight…

Here are some pics of Brownie from Tuesday night training. My recently turned ONE boy

Thanks to Lacey for the pictures!!!!
My hair looks kind of like an afro…I let it air dry. Sorry It was just dog training…haha.

Obedience…

He is going to take my hand off one day…I am positive of it. We need to work on targeting…haha.

and Protection…

Nasty Boy Face….

Succession…

Good Boy Sitting at the Car.

My baby boy is a year old. He is such a special dog, and I am so happy to have him in my life.

From one minute old, I knew he was the one…

His first pictures as a 1 year old boy…

We started working on obedience a few months ago.  Honestly, I dont work him in obedience very often but I think he is doing really good.  As you will see…his sit is not straight, but I am not worried about it right now.  I am just working on attention and position right now.

Brownie - Obedience - 11 months old.

These were taken at the end of February

It was late in the afternoon and every picture is taken while driving down the road (at about 60mph), some were taken through the window of my car because it was freezing cold (I love this camera..haha) but OMG it is breathtakingly beautiful…I can’t wait to go back when I really have time to stop and sight see, take some pictures, let the dogs run…  Soon…. very soon.

I got Ziris’s VC (Versatility Companion) Certificate in the mail. When I opened it a bunch of little gold stars came falling out everywhere. I thought that was pretty neat that they do that.

Here is the link for info about the VC and VCX. It is through UDC.  Ziris is #109

Anyway…I scooped up the stars and over the weekend I bought a frame. (I frame all of their stuff for my “dog room”)

I sprinkled the stars on the floor and took a picture of her with her new certificate…just thought I would share.

She was not very happy about having to sit there and pose as you can see. She kept trying to eat the stars…LOL.

I deleted my photobucket account…  So any previous photos are gone.  Sorry!  I take alot of photos, so I will make up for it.

Thought I would share some random photos taken with my new camera (Nikon D90)

I haven’t really had a chance to use it much since I have had it…not near as much as I would like to anyway… I still need to read the manual and maybe take a class or two. I love taking pictures, but when it comes to truly understanding all the functions on the camera…I am totally clueless. I am GOING to learn how to use this camera though. I like what I have seen from it so far. (Without really adjusting much) Just thought I would share some pics…
