"China Town"

So last night for photography class we went out to "china town" for some pictures. The assignment was vague but included words such as close-up, minimal, detail, etc.

While I did hope there would be a stray dog or cat wandering around to keep me in my comfort zone, I was looking forward to it. I had lots of fun and ended up with some images I definitely wouldn't have gotten without the push to try something new.

I did find some very cool doors that would make great backdrops for dogs in a more urban setting. I just may have to go back there!

All Alone

The girls and I were the only ones at the dog park today. It was wonderful!

Coulee spent the entire time fetching her frisbee, while Lacey did her usual thing - wandered around sniffing, chased after Coulee briefly, back to sniffing, over to me for a brief pet, steal Coulee's toy, back to sniffing, etc.

Better When Wet

I've never seen Coulee swim just for the sake of swimming, but she loves to fetch in the water. She will give you the toy and then race into the river and wait for you to throw it. Yet, without a toy, she won't do anything more than splash around a bit. She will stay in long enough to get a drink and to give you the "are-you-going-to-throw-anything-look" and then get out. Is this another quirky Coulee mannerism or are most water dogs like this? (Sandy, you don't need to answer that!)

Photo Session

I'm trying really hard to blog about work stuff on the work blogs, and personal stuff on the personal blog but what's a girl to do when they coincide? I met Sandy, Mira and Sadie at the park today for a practice photo shoot. I'll be updating the photography blog with a few posts over the next few days so be sure to check it out!

Deja Vu

This picture looks a little familiar...

Apparently nothing changes.

Not for Fetching

Unlike Coulee, Lacey doesn't think the Zisc makes a very good fetch toy.

She would much rather try and shake it to death.

And bury it in mud because clean toys are boring and tasteless.

And then shake it some more.

She also thinks that she should be the next cover girl for West Paw Design as her glossy black fur makes the orange Zisc look so good.
