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!

This is what chasing my granddaughters around does to my dog. He feels it’s his duty to protect them, so he constantly follows them around and misses out on his daily naps. He could hardly hold his eyes open when I took this. :)

Today I have another puppy photo. This is Ariel. She was adopted from a shelter 3 weeks ago by a friend of mine. Playing with her twin 9 year old humans wears her out!

Today I volunteered some of my time to photograph some of the dogs and cats at the New Leash on Life animal shelter in Lebanon, TN. It is a no kill shelter that tries to help dogs and cats find new homes. This is where I got my dog, Skipper, eight years ago. It has only recently become a no kill shelter. If anyone the Lebanon, TN area reads this and is looking for a pet, please consider one of the dogs or cats at New Leash on Life. I found them all to be furry babies looking for a permanent home and someone to love. I’ll post some more of their photos later this week.
 

This is Sally. She was a bit shy but quickly decided to share her toy mouse with me!

This is Walter. He is 10 years old and was brought in as a stray. He's a very loving dog that wants to spend his golden years in a permanent home.

 

I'm not sure what this dog's name is, but it was as gentle as a lamb and really wanted to play.

Sparky is a miniature dachshund. He was my best friend when we first met. He used his nose to roll his ball to my foot, so I threw it for him several times and he promptly returned with it. Then I brought out the big mean monster – the camera ….and Sparky ran behind the chair so he could hide. Every time I’d try to get a shot of him, he’d drop his head and look so sad. He walked around the edge of the wall behind some of the furniture to stay away from the monster…..He even turned away when his human mommy was holding him. I made this shot while he was behind a table. He wouldn’t stay in the good light long enough for me to get a really good shot. Once I put the camera away, he was ready to play again. Poor pitiful puppy….

I got a sweet shot of Skipper tonight. He likes to lay on the couch beside me while I’m reading or watching tv. Everytime I try to get a photo of him sleeping he hears me and opens his eyes. Oh well, he was going to have to get up and go get in his bed anyway! :)
