Let's see your pets

[MattBurt]

Yes. I have noticed you have shown several shots recently without her.
I was getting a little worried.   

Thanks for the concern.
She had to take a month off of off-leash walks this winter because she strained her shoulder getting all crazy in deep snow.
If I have to keep her on the leash, I need to choose between dog walking and photography so for that month those activities were happening separately.
But now she is back to her old self and can run around while I shoot again which I think we both appreciate.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Good to hear that, for both of you.

The cat, Frida likes to come along on short walks. Pretty funny to watch them interact!

I like it. That cat is quite big!

Thanks! She's not a small cat but not huge. The fur adds a lot and of course she is making herself look bigger here. You fell for it! 
Luna is also not as big as she looks in photos. 35 Lbs or so.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Great shot of the two of them.

Luna came backpacking with us a couple of weeks ago and did great!

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Does Luna wear a Kelty backpack on these excursions?

Our old dog had one (not sure what brand it was) but Luna is small and honestly kind of a spaz so we spared her the burden and us the worry.

Awesome picture!

Awesome picture!

Thanks! With a great model and beautiful setting all I had to do was not blow it!

Now I understand why she looks so happy in every photo.

Glad to see Luna doing well

Here are Owen (border collie in the lead) and Wyatt (aussie behind) working at the dog gym.  Wyatt is a special case - he's a rescue and had never been properly socialized, and we got him, he couldn't even go out in public due to fear issues.  Still a way to go, but he's made huge improvements

Delightful shot, James.

It looks as if Wyatt is making good progress.

Thanks! She had some tough times this summer with having a growth (like a wart) removed from the corner of her eye and then not long after she bolted out the door after a fox and cut herself on something and had to get stitches. All that after her strained shoulder from punchy snow this spring but now she is ready to rally!
I bet she would like agility training. We have not tried it formally but she definitely gets some along the way on our adventures.

Your pups seems to be enjoying that very much. They look very happy and healthy!

"Otis".

Summer snow this morning. "WTF, dad?"

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Priceless, Matt!

[Chairman Bill]

Our pub was faced with closure so the village got together and bought it. It's now a Community Pub. The new publicans have brought a new pub dog with them (every pub should have a dog). Here she is.

[Kevin Gallagher]

 Wow, great story Bill!!! Pretty dog as well.
