My wife took Pip to be groomed today. It looks like she left him there and brought home this puppy instead!
 |
The haircut sure took a lot of size — and age — off of him!
 |
Smile for the camera!
 |
Did someone say “cheese”? Sam had to get in on the action.
 |
And, I had to take some photos of Rosie as well.
 |
She’s going to have to go in for a serious trim soon too!
 |
Worn out from his busy day, Pip settled down for a nap.
 |
Guess it’s been too long since I posted anything here! Hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas! And, best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2009!
A couple of weeks before Christmas, I worked on my canine portrait skills. Here are some of the results:

I’m especially happy with this image of Pip:
 |
And, here’s a closeup of Sam:

A few days later, we had Rosie groomed. Often when she scratched herself, her long claws were getting tangled in her fur. We didn’t have a lot of fur taken off due to the cold weather. The groomers returned her with a bow and kerchief — suitably themed for the time of year. Add a red plaid blanket to complete a shot for the holidays….

Yesterday, I took a few photos of Pip and Sam … just to make sure they didn’t feel left out 
Pip was trying to snooze in the sunlight yesterday morning. He barely opened his eyes when I called his name. “Come on Dad… quit pointing that thing at me and let me sleep!”….
 |
A little later in the day, Sam was soaking up the sunshine, not quite ready to sleep though.
 |
This morning, Rosie was being cute again. Technically, this isn’t such a good picture but, it definitely was a cute moment. When she yawns wide like this, she lets out a very cute little squeaking noise.
 |
Then, she stuck her tongue out at me!
 |
Sure is fun around here these days!
