My granddaughters have been wanting a dog for quite a while. The oldest finally talked mom into going to the shelter “just to look”….you know what that means…. Here’s my new grandpuppy Jasper! He’s part German shepherd and possibly part Husky with those blue eyes. He seems to be smart and has survived a week with four little girls and a cat. He’s got a great personality and is already trying to “protect” the girls. I think he’s going to be good dog!

Mike Wazowski! My granddaughters left a few toys laying around when they came to visit. I found the dog snuggled up to Mike Wazowski on the couch. Mike didn’t seem to mind.

My dog was having a fit at the sliding glass door this morning. When I looked out I saw this little guy. He was sitting on the edge of the patio and looked like he was staring at my dog. He tried to retreat into his shell when I opened the door. I got a few shots before he turned and quickly started across the back yard. He looked a lot like the turtle from Day170, but had red eyes instead of brown. He was moving faster than any turtle I’ve ever seen. Maybe he was afraid I was going to let the dog out again.

This is Big Ben, a beautiful solid black German Shepherd. He competes in agility and herding events. His human “mom” had lots of action shots of him from competition, but no portraits showing his big brown eyes. He is the best behaved dog I have ever worked with. My dog could take some lessons from Ben!

This little darling was one of the guest at a baby shower I attended today. I was trying to get her to model for me, but she couldn’t hold still that long – there were too many other things to be doing and too much going on!

Oh the golden light of evening! When I took my granddaughters to feed the ducks, I noticed on the other side of the road there was a field of tall grass that was quickly turning to hay and was a beautiful golden shade. I decided to take them back to this spot as the sun was going down. It was so nice! I was able to show them what you can do with a reflector and how to bounce light into a person’s eyes. My 5 year old granddaughter was holding the reflector when I took this photo of her 8 year old sister. Of course we reversed roles and the 8 year old held the reflector. She was doing pretty good at finding the sweet spot to bounce light on her sister’s face. I even let them try by themselves – each got a turn holding the reflector and taking shots of me!
