Just Some Pooch Pics For My Friends...

The top 5 photos are of Baby Rocket Dog, our Airedale Terrier.  The other 2 are of  our Welsh Terrier, Hairy Houdini, aka Hootie.  BabyRD is modeling her new Drs.Foster & Smith Chaise Lounge Dog Bed.  It was a gift from my brother and SIL.  Both of our pooches love it.  Baby is wearing her diva shirt and Hootie is wearing a sheep skin for National Dress Up Your Pet Day on January 23rd.  The bottom pic of Hootie was taken up at our cabin.  He generally closes his eyes when the camera flashes. lol. 
And this, ends the dialogue accompanying my pooch pics!

Blessings who anyone who passes this way.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ Shadow Dogs

Hootie, our Welsh Terrier, is playing with his little, squeaky ball while Miss Baby Rocket Dog, our Airedale Terrier,  lurks close by.  Baby is waiting for the right moment to steal his ball from him.  Watch out Hootie!!

To join us for Shadow Shot Sunday, or just to see what or who else is lurking in the shadows, go on over to ShadowShotSunday2.blogspot.com.  Blessings to all who pass this way, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

One of My Best Friends Was A Liberal...

A while back, we had decided that our dogs were of differing political persuasions. Hootie, the hard working conservative, figured out how to work the Yuppy Puppy Treat Machine right away. He was willing to let Baby Rocket Dog share in his hard work, but eventually got very upset a bit miffed when it was obvious she wasn't going to do any of the work herself. Baby Rocket Dog was the liberal. She just waited for Hootie to do all the work, then she swooped in to get the free meal. This entitlement attitude went on for almost 2 years. Baby just did not want to learn how to make the machine work. She had her own occupy movement going and was sitting fat and pretty. She'd lay next to the treat machine and whine and make all kinds of noises, but would not attempt to do the work. As soon as Hootie made it dispense the treats she'd bully her way in and steal them. Finally this Fall I got Baby to give working a try and she found out how satisfying it is to work for her treat. She is now a card carrying conservative. he he. This illustration is not meant to offend my liberal readers. Just sayin'!!


You see, one of my best friends was once a liberal until she saw the light.

Shadow Shot Sunday #178 ~ Lounging Pooches

Little Hootie hogs the piece of sunlight that entered our loft.  Baby Rocket Dog is relegated to the shadows.

Shadow Shot Sunday #154

Our bay window at the cabin is one of my favorite spots to get Shadow Shots. Hootie and Baby Rocket Dog are my best subjects so I grabbed my camera when I spotted these shadows. Am including the unshadowed shots too to show the contrast when using a flash. For more Shadow Shots please join our hostess Tracy at http://www.heyharriet.blogspot.com/ .

Shadow Shot Sunday #144 ~ Seven Mile Gulch Trail

Baby Rocket Dog, our Airedale Terrier and Hairy "Hootie" Houdini, our Welsh Terrier. What are YOU lookin' at?? Yep, I'm bringing up the rear. Come on Mommy! You're holding us up with all this picture taking!

On Valentine's Day we hiked around the Prescott (Arizona) National Forest on the Seven Mile Gulch Trail. There were plenty of shadows all over, so as the dogs sniffed their way around the trail I snapped some ShadowShots. For more Shadow Shot Sunday photographers, hike on over to Tracy's blog. And just click HERE to join in the new meme, Pet Pride. Have a good weekend!

Blessings,

Cassie

ps-We are told they are having snow there now!

Shadow Shot Sunday #122

Well, I'm back in the Pacific Time Zone, and our weather is cool and already very Autumn-like. That means I'm game for taking our pooches for nice long walks at the game refuge. The trail follows the river and has lovely shadows most of the way. We didn't see any moose, but the mosquitoes were out in force! Sheesh!! My top two photos do feature some shadowy moose though ~ they are on the curtains I sewed for in our little loft bathroom.

To join in the fun of Shadow Shot Sunday (SSS for short) just click HERE and it will take you to Tracy's blog. She is in Australia, so it's already Sunday there. Have a great weekend.

Friday Foto ~ Red!

Last Sunday we did a Pet Walk at Tempe Town Lake. It was a beautiful day, for a worthy cause and not too hot yet! The perfect combination. Also, there was lots of red all over!! For more Friday Fotos just click here.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Patrick walked both dogs for a while so I could get a double dog shadow shot.

This one makes Hootie look very chubby!

It seemed much easier to get good shadows of Hootieboy, our Welsh Terrier.

This final photo is Baby Rocket Dog, our Airedale. There really is a difference in their shadows.

Go on over to Hey Harriet for more Shadow Shot Sunday. If you click on her Mr. Linky link it lists all the folks participating in SSS. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Blessings on all who pass this way.
