For the dog lovers

[Bif]

Friday, May 22nd, I lost Sandy (named for the sandy color of his coat), a terrier mix rescue. He'd been a constant companion for 10 and a half years for my wife and I and our house seems quite empty now.

He trusted and like everyone, never growled or menaced a person, got along great with cats, never barked at or chased other critters as he hoped they would come to him and play.

First two images taken last November:

I'm being watched very carefully.

Are we going somewhere? Picking up a camera often means just that.

Four days before he passed. Pictured here with his favorite "comfort" toy.

So sorry Bruce. I'm sure you gave him a great life.

I’m sorry for your families loss. It’s always the very worst part of having pets.

So sorry he's gone, Bruce. They bring us so much joy, but for too short a time. God bless you for giving him a wonderful life.

Thank you folks for your expressions of sympathy. It means much to me. Sandy went to Concho Valley Photo Club meetings with me, when they made up clip on name tags for members Sandy wound up with one. He made the rounds of the room, shining up to all the ladies, and enjoyed being around all the members. He enjoyed the photo walks the club participated in.

If he saw me pick up a camera and sunglasses he would go over and poke his nose at his harness and leash, he loved to go anywhere in the truck with me.

Thanks for your thoughts.

So sorry for your loss, Bryce.
I recall how badly I felt at those times.

You mean that's not my bed, and I won't fit?
Says who?

If you move, I will chase you!

He is too scared to move!

He moved! But I caught him, now I need a rest!

We've not seen much of this little lady throughout the pandemic lockdown, but we were able to meet up for a nice long evening walk last week, the same day my new 12-40 Pro arrived

This portrait of our sweet Waggles (now an Angel) popped up in my Facebook memories today. She left us on 14 January 2014 and I miss her as if it were just yesterday. She was such a sweet and caring pup.

Pepper's frisbee and cannonball!!
Trying an experiment with Vimeo here. Got fed up with YouTube and their constant adverts, so placed this on Vimeo today. Shot Thursday using OMD-EM5 with 14-45 kit lens then edit in Premiere Elements. Music created in GarageBand. So... it's ALL experimental!

My crazed rat terrier/min pin mix. She loves to run. Captured with Pen-f and Oly 60mm using the spray and pray method on the shutter release. A little out of focus.

She has to be on the leash, that nose leads her in to trouble.

He let out a mighty roar to scare away the chipmunks.

I found a stick for Jasper that Ziva can't steal from him.

Just test shots. Ernie is learning how to swim. All my dals have struggled with it because of their massive chests, but Ernie has been absolutely hopeless so far.
