Down On The Farm

I recently watched a friends farm for the weekend. Great photo opportunities and the dogs got to spend the weekend running around the farm. 

Unfortunately, I downloaded all the photos I took the first day to my computer and cleared the card (ugh...). That computer crashed. So all I have left are the photos from the rest of the weekend and a lesson learned: "Dont clear the card until you back it up!". 

Sometimes however its as much fun to shoot photos of your friends shooting photos as it is to dodge sheep yourself...

 

I named this shot "Road Kill" :)

And yes... I suspect that Carolyn has a photo of me taking this photo of her :)

------------

Like father... like daughter.

... and then there was Ras, the Islandic Sheepdog. She does get around :)

Yikes! was in love with her.

Jive was interested but he was saving his heart for someone else.

Dig-it! was happy to have someone her own size to run with.

Got'cha! obviously was not listening :)

Gilli, a rescue BC that was being fostered at the farm, was too busy making sure she smelled REALLY good for her newest boyfriend...

"may I have this dance?"

... Pretty Please?!

------------

How can you have this many dogs in a shot and not have a SINGLE one looking at you?

------------

Can you find the Blue Boy? 

Im telling ya... he really IS a mountain goat!

Got Game?

Its been a very bad week for Mayhem. Were hoping he will rally, but if not, here's a nice shot of him out in the field enjoying a beautiful day with his family.

We cherish every single moment we have with him.

This toy was todays biggest hit!

I see you!

-------

This toy was also popular.

-------

The frisbee provided the best photo opportunities!

Yikes! is pretty good at catching a frisbee and making a big game on his own with it.

Got'cha! throws his own frisbee!
-------

Yikes! and Got'cha! engage in a bit of tug of war. Uncle Yikes! is known for letting the young dogs win at this game :)

-------
Diggity has grown into herself. She's not looking like a puppy anymore.

Got'cha! is starting to grow taller then Diggity!

Miercats :)

Father Wow! and daughter Dig-It! and Uncle Got'cha!

Introducing Jack

This is Jack, a 3 year old GSD. He is the sweetest boy you would ever want to meet.

Jack meets Border Collies... Jack LOVES Border Collies :)

This is a picture I ALMOST got :) Got'cha! shows off his choppers to Diggity all the time, however...

NOT to the big GSD.

[grovel... grovel..]

Jack was rescued from living in a basement/garage with limited to no activity or interaction. Got'cha's new job is Jack's workout buddy.

Jack loves Got'cha - Got'cha loves Jack.

ooops... Jack tried to love Diggity a little TOO much. Remember the "Table = Base", Jack seems to understand this rule... must be some herding dog thing. The expression on Jack's face is about the funniest thing I've ever photographed.

Chewy Faces

Is it just my dogs... or do all dogs make goofy faces when they're working on a good chewy?

OK this is my favorite!

Got'cha's ears get all kinds of funny...

Yikes! just looks stoned :)

Doberman vs Border Collies (Cassidy and Monday vs Got'cha and Diggity)

First we casually play with the toys...

Lulling our prey into thinking we are sweet, lovable and harmless...[OK we really ARE sweet, loveable and relatively harmless but dont tell anyone! You will ruin our reputation.]

----------------------

And now for a brief interuption:

goofy Dobie moment caught on film...

-----------
We return to our story:

Yes... Yes... Little Blue Boy, lets play a game...

Hey, this blue sucker is kinda quick!

Table = Base

Tackle... two down at the same time! Dobie's Win!!!

This young blue one is spunky! And cute...
OK... this is getting to be a bit too sexy...

Thats better.

And while her brother was getting beat up (sorta), what was Diggity doing?
Besides being very very cute?


Giving kisses to her fans of course!
