These two were getting along famously, but they were murder to photograph, especially given that they were standing in an area that alternated between shadow and sunlight. Still, they were a cute enough pair that I have to put up something.
Tasha’s a year and a half old, and Cuba is 3 months.
The expressions make the picture.
See what I mean about light and shadow?
Cuba is a font of ridiculous expressions. I hope mom and dad are spending a lot of time with a camera.
Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. But… wow! A 65 pound fully adult Great Pyrenees. How does that even happen? Even for females, the smallest the breed standard calls for is 25 inches at the shoulder, and approximately 85 pounds.
To put this in perspective, this pup is significantly smaller than Autumn’s family’s (also female) golden retriever.
Ella’s mom asked me to add something to my post:
I ran into you yesterday near Mission Creek and you took a pic of my Great Pyrenees Ella. I got your card and checked out your blog – very fun!
If you end up posting her pic and want to tell people where they can get their own lovable Great Pyrenees… we got her two months ago from Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Rescue in Sacramento: http://spgpc.com/
So there you have it: rescue a Great Pyrenees today! Or, if you’d prefer an even tinier white foofly happy dog, I hear the American Eskimo from a few days ago might still be up for adoption…
Another clearly happy pup. Over thirty pictures, and not one of them did not contain a doggie smile.
I grabbed these pictures at about 8:30 in the morning on the way to work.
Ella drooled all over my pants. I didn't mind. (Although I did spend five minutes cleaning them off afterward.)
How's that for a 100% natural antidepressant?
Who could possibly resist Tobi (Toby? I may have taken this down wrong), the 4-year-old Australian shepherd? Certainly not I: Tobi had me wrapped around his paw from the moment I set eyes on him.
Tobi has a flaw that will forever keep him out of dog shows! (Not exactly a huge loss, to Tobi's mom OR to me.) Can you guess what it is? Answer in the next picture.
Yes indeedy, Australian shepherds are definitely not supposed to have RIDICULOUS ADORABLE GOOFY STANDY-UP FUZZLY EARS! (And isn't that just a shame and a half?)
Gorgeous look at his particolored left eye.
I love the ones who go after the camera.
There's the smile. It took him a couple seconds to warm up to me, and after that it was all puppy grins.
Gorgeous merle pattern.
He and I were dancing around and making goofy noises at this point. I swear, it's a wonder nobody has locked me up yet.
Okay, I would invite you to find more ridiculous ear hair ANYWHERE.
It’s the new game craze that’s sweeping the nation: hungry hungry kitties!
There's a third one in the back, in case you missed it.
Shortly after this picture was taken, all three were found in a small pile, utterly comatose and with distended bellies.
Phew! Computer’s not 100% done, but it’s damned close, and the new setup is working quite nicely.
In celebration, here is a 7-year-old beagle with a nice nose. I have some pictures of a friend of his, too, which you’ll see later on.
They don't get a lot beaglier than this guy.
Hee. Love that expression.
Lovely deep brown eyes. They remind me of a horse's eyes.
...not sure I need to say anything here...
My computer is back to, well, ‘close enough’. It’s not at 100% yet, but it’s close enough for me to go back to blogging from it. So… full post tomorrow! Yay!
And when this thing is finally done, it is going to be pretty amazing. Better than it was before.
In the mean time, here is a bird dog taking a cat nap in a bar.
The things I do for you guys. Sheesh!
My computer is nearly limping along. With any luck, tomorrow it will be operational, although it will still be missing its SSD (it has an SSD for the OS and a regular HD for my photos. The HD now has a clone of the SSD on it as a backup… quite convenient in case this happens again).
I am not looking forward to getting the SSD set back up… last time it took me almost a week by itself. And involved a tinfoil hat. (For the drive, not for me.)
Here is a picture that shows how I feel after a week of doing nothing but working on my computer.
Just spent all day and well into the night trying to get my computing life back in order. Tomorrow I find out how effective the effort was. Wish me luck.
In the mean time, here are two vicious mean nasty adorable cuddly drooly friendly pups for you.
Quite a pair. Sissy-Pants is a sweet 8-year-old goofball, and Sandy is a super-friendly 4-year-old Eskie with only three legs. (She gets around just fine though: she can outrun Sissy-Pants!)
If you know anyone who might be interested in adopting an awesome little pup, post a comment and I’ll try to get you in touch with the right people.
(And yes, computer still dead despite a great deal of effort and blah blah. Someday soon I’ll get it fixed. I hope.)
She was so cute I forgot to get her name! (Yes, computer is still borked.)
Edit: Ran into mom again. Her name is Ginger!
