Those are beautiful shots, Quicklabs. (Taken with your E-500, right? ) I love the one on the chair together.

I will have to try to find some of the film shots I took when my Cody did agilty, they're deep in the attic somewhere.

Here's my Golden Griffey...

Here's my Australian Shepherd mix Kacie with her favorite Christmas present...nothing makes her happier than a ball!!

OMG he is HUGE!!!! So pretty and fluffy!!

 

[lisajl]

He is my baby...all 14 lbs of him! He is really my DH's, they have a bond, but I am the one that rescued him, his brother and sisters.
Ungrateful cat! LOL!

ahh thanks, I liked your pics of the agility labs too...and yes, they love to swim

I just snapped this one of my Grace yesterday. She was standing in sleet during an ice storm (and not wanting it in her eyes) yet still wanting me to play Jolly Ball with her. It looks as if she is having such fun in that bad weather that she is laughing! (So typical of Grace, who is always, ALWAYS smiling)

This is one of my favorite photos, simply because it captures so well the bond that developed over the years of being of agility team. Augusta would do anything for me. Here we are celebrating her 9th championship. She will retire later this year.

I wish I could take credit to taking this picture, but it was done at one of our shows. This is Grace, trying hard to follow in Augusta's footsteps as she zooms out of a tunnel.

My hubby took this one of Grace. She can really fly!

Taken last July--Augusta and Grace

Say "Goodnight" Gracie! LOL

Here's a picture of Emma (she's appeared before on previous pages) - she's very sad because the suitcases were out as we were getting ready to go away for the weekend (she got to stay with a neighbor who she adores, but she still gets sad when she knows we're leaving). We intended on training her as an agility dog when we got her, but training fell to the wayside. In the end it's a good thing since she is epileptic (came out just after she turned 2) and the meds have made her a bit skiddish of strangers and her concentration is definitely not what it was before the meds.

Donald's Fan - Emma's very jealous of your 2 having their own pool. Swimming is the only thing she prefers over food!

It is sooooo hard leaving them, isn't it?

Especially when she looks so pathetic! She's my baby - the kids tease me that I like her better than them (and there are days it's true). She rarely gets into trouble, but she probably would get away with murder when she gives me those sad sack eyes. She's a typical lab, always wants to please! I love your "smiling" picture - labs are the best in my book!

Such a beautiful dog!!!! I wish my allergies could stand having a lab. They are such great dogs.

Is that a Mickey head dog tag I see? Anyone know where you can get those engraved with the dog's info? I have a blank Mickey head dog tag and would love to be able to use it.

 

[lsayd]

Thanks so much - she is a great dog, even with her ailments! Yes, that's a Mickey tag you see. My son was a CM last year through the College Program so we did lots of shopping while he got his perks! The tag came with the collar - it's a Princess collar, the tag says Disney Princess on it. She has the matching leash as well. This was a picture I used for our Halloween card this year - you can see the tag and collar a bit better in it.

Wow, great pics everyone. My pup is growing up so fast.

Here's a shot of him as a puppy, and then four months later (just a few days ago)...

 

[lsayd]

What a puppy face! Isn't it amazing how tiny their noses are at first? Yours looks like he's at that great leggy, gangly stage - I just loved that!

He is, it's quite funny to watch him run. He looks so uncoordinated, but has yet to take a dive.

Deleted penguin, your Labrababy is gorgeous.
Great job capturing his expression. It's not always an easy task to get terrific photos like yours of black dogs. I've always had yellows, but I love the velvet coat of the blacks.
