Photographing Pets

[Papa Deuce]

Those are nice Papa Deuce!

Thanks... and obviously my Golden was unaware....

Jesse had been very abused by some very nasty humans - she is learning to trust - learning to have fun - learning to be part of a family as opposed to being a pack animal. I want her to have that chance before we bring another dog in the home. I think we will wait and probably adopt a rescue Golden at some time - but right now it's Jesse's time - time she was never given for the first three years of her life.

Our 17 year old foster, Millie...it's so good to see her smile after coming out of the shelter.

You're both and brought tears to my eyes this morning.

This is De La, one of the dogs that comes to the place I work with her owner every day.




This is Graham Coats, we just adopted him on Saturday. He is a one year old Sharpei mix.




This is our Shiloh Shepherd, Nico, with Graham to compare size. Graham weighs 50 lbs and Nico 147 lbs.




This is our Shiloh Shepherd, Isabelle, with her favorite toy.




Nico in the living room.

Wow - - I never thought of that - I guess I never did that, I don't want to remind my neighbors. Mine would have to say "40 Paws" !

Nice photos, everyone.

Nico = 147 lbs. Love the dirt on nose shot!

I absolutely LOVE all of your pictures! Pets are wonderful! I will post a few of ours as soon as I load them up on the web.

 

[SonyaM]

I just love pet portraits! I'll post some of my pup soon!

 

[PhotobearSam]

I really love this thread. I look forward to each new post. I think that all our pets look so good on here. Keep it up and post updated photos as well.

Thanks Pea. We are extremely lucky that Nico is a very sweet and gentle dog.
At his size he could have been a real handful.

This is little Greta shortly after we got her (at 7 weeks) in early March (next to her "big sister," Maya):

This is Greta and Maya now. Greta will be 4 months old next week.

Here is my heartdog and my treasure: C-ATCH, U-GRACH Rosebud's Augusta Rae's Creek, ChST, ChJU, ChFH, ChJK, ChCL, ChSN, ChWC, MX, AXJ, CGC (Just plain 'Gusta to her friends--LOL)--doing the thing that we both love best on Sunday.

Hurray for agility! Great shots above! =)

Here's my Zappa, he's a rescued border collie...

 

[Quicklabs]

Love the pics of Zappa! It looks like he goes more places than I do! He's gorgeous! Is he an agility fanatic too? You really found a prize when you rescued him. I can only guess at why someone would give up such a beautiful dog. It's a shame that people have no clue of what they're in for when they get certain breeds, Labs among them.

Ha! Oddly enough, I somehow got a /lazy/ border collie! No interest what so ever in agility, flyball, sheep... heck, he won't even play fetch! But he loves being out on the trail, so we go on a lot of hikes.

He's the best, though... sweetest little thing, just a big cuddler. Poor boy had never been inside a house though when he came into rescue, he was underweight, headshy, and afraid of everything (the toaster, the dvd player, ceiling fans...)... he's made great improvements, though! I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my life!

I love watching agility, though! Awesome stuff... I shot a couple of agility meets in Winter Park ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/jadewolf/tags/agility/ )

Beautiful shots of Zappa.

Wow! Do you think it's because nobody took time to do it with him when he was younger? I knew some dogs that that's happened to. I'm sure he's still got great herding instincts, but maybe he just doesn't know how to "play".

We just picked up our new baby Beagle last night! Her name is Meeko.

It was a long car ride home.

Of course she has a Disney food bowl.

Our cat, Skyy, doesn't know what to make of her yet.
