Photographing Pets

The puppy is SO cute! about how he sleeps. I love how puppies are so like little kids in that way. Play hard and then sleep harder.

It's hysterical to watch him roll off the bed and stay asleep!!

Is there anything sweeter than puppy breath?

He has the sweetest puppy breath but if you would have heard him crying in his crate last night it would probably cure your puppy fever!!

We are crate training, and I've done it with 3 different dogs before, but this guy is a little more stubborn. DD18 has been keeping him in her room and letting him out every 2 hours to pee. Well, last night DD was gone, and DH and I couldn't take any more of the crying so Baby Jonas ended up snuggling in bed with us. He slept so great in bed and so did we, but DD18 said she is taking back over tonight....


Back on topic....here's DD16 and Ivan worn out from a horse show!!

Uh....why is the new guy eating out of my bowl???

Oh boy he has a hard life...

So tired from his vet visit that he fell asleep watching a little tv with his buddy!!

love the new puppy pictures! The sleeping ones are always the cutest!

And about him being stubborn about crate training....I have 4 dogs and I've found that the bigger they are the harder the crate training seems to be. My Giant Schnauzer really tested us when we first got him.

DH - "Do you know where the cats are?"
Me- "No"
DH-"Go get your camera and go look in the pantry"

This is what I found....

Nice shots, Brook! Love this one.

Thanks! I totally stink with the animal eye thing

And I am even worse at drawing their eyes in

I have got to work on the pet eye with flash thing A LOT ...
I try but it always comes out crappy.

I love the one of the dog in the water too. Very great shot!

Here is a pic of my China girl I took this morning. I just got a new camera so have been playing with all of the gadgets A LOT!!!!
She is almost 12 years old and my sweety ~ I like this shot as it shows a lot of dignity with her old age
She isn't the prettiest dog in the world and its hard for me to get a pretty shot of her ~ but I like this one.

She is beautiful, Brooke.

Thank you, she is my heart and soul
I found her while doing volunteer work for the local shelter. Someone had abused a poor pup SOOO bad ~ she had cigar burns all over her tummy, her tail was broken in two places and she was enemic due to too many flea bites and starved.
She also had 2 broken ribs.... she was only 4 months old.
She was SOOO terrified of people she would just cry and shake and run to a corner when anyone came near her. I went in to feed her, spent 2 minutes and she leaped into my arms ~ and hasn't left my arms since!
It took a TON of work to get her where she is today, emotionally and physically. She can still be nervous around large men BUT never reactive or mean. She gives the most pitiful pound puppy eyes and lays there waiting for the guy to hurt her =(
Luckily we don't see that abused China very much anymore! She is very happy sprawled out on our couch or in bed with me! Due to her only going to me for the first 2 years of her life ...err..lets just say we are extremely close and she is my constant companion. I know she has had a wonderful 12 years and only the first 4 months sucked for her ... but honestly she isn't getting any younger and these days worry me
Even now as I am typing, her head is on my foot
