Elvis

Did anyone else watch Dragon's Den last night?

Rocky was inspired by the Elvis costume maker and thought he'd show you his best Elvis impersonation.

Monty

Monty's mom has been teasing me lately because a) he hasn't been in the calendar for the last two years in a row, and b) he hasn't been on the blog in ages. This is why...

He likes to move really fast.

He likes to sit really close.

Did I mention he likes to move really fast?

But we did manage a few where he was a little more cooperative.

Teeth!

I'd like to introduce Fenway.

Isn't he cute?!

Ya gotta love his little bottom teeth!

Moving On

Friday was baby Oliver's last day. He is moving up to Prince George.

He'll be missed all of us here - humans and dogs. He was the life of the party every day he came.

Until he snuggled up on your lap and fell asleep anyway.

Fundy's Ridge

I just love the ridge on Rhodesian Ridgebacks. No other dog has anything similar.

Alligator Attack!

Could Achilles be any cuter?

He seems to think the camera would make a tasty snack.

Neo's New Friend

Zach was doing a whole lot of kissing yesterday.

Neo didn't mind a bit!

Practicing

The Flickr group that Amanda and I are both participating involves taking a picture of your dog each week for a year. Each picture is supposed to be different. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Every once in a while they put out a challenge - i.e. Black and white, or your dog on a chair. This week the challenge is depth. I'm choosing to take a picture with a narrow depth of field (not much is in focus). So today I was practicing with all the dogs here today.

This might be harder than a thought...This was the only one I liked. Jasper has a very cute nose!

Cautiously Curious

George isn't quite sure what to make of the camera. He is quite curious about it, but also kind of afraid of it. So he will follow me around but he keeps his ears back and his eyes wide.
