Go ahead and JUMP!
Today I wanted to get shots of all my dogs leaping over one of the jumps in the backyard. With a little bit of tennis ball reward, they were quite happy to comply. OKAY! It was a bit challenging at first, because I don’t generally set them up behind a jump and then crouch down [...]
Piper makes me so MAD!
Oh wait … maybe I make Piper so MAD! Nooo …. that’s not right either. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that Piper and I made Piper MAD together. MAD as in Masters Agility Dog of Canada MAD! This weekend she got two back-to-back Masters Standard Qs to complete her title! She did it like [...]
My mum went to Editville
and all she brought me back was this lousy walk on our own property. Harumph. It’s true. I neglected my dogs for days, trying to fool them with short games of frisbee on the lawn in between long stretches of editing. When I finally stumbled out of my Photoshop stupor this morning, we discovered summer [...]
Why don’t you take a hike
Well thanks very much, I think I will! I came up for air from editing today to join Fi and Cheryl on a hike in Belcarra. I don’t go too often because it tends to break Tweed, and somehow always right before an trial, but we’re not trialing right now – bank account is empty [...]
Stu-stu-stu-studio
First things first – from now on, if you want to see examples of the work I’m doing with clients you can visit my website and from there you can visit the Big Air Blog where I will post a selection of photos from various sessions. I’m going to try to keep client photos off [...]
Happy TWoo Day!
Shhh … he’s vewy vewy tired. TWooie had a big day! I don’t know if you all are tired of my constant, raving Up-TWoo-Date posts about my little basketcase, but I am just so proud of the little feller and his ongoing improvements. TWooday we had TWo TWooie Achievements. 1) We braved deep* water (*okay, [...]
Teamwork
I swear to doG, I did not set this up. I was booting the soccer ball around in the yard for the dogs when it landed in the hammock/swing chair. Totally an accident. A happy accident that had me in fits of giggles. The photos don’t do it justice, a video camera would have been [...]
It’s all relative
I am a seagull, and I haz a dead fish. I am The TWoo, and I will steal your dead fish! Alas, though TWooie was surprisingly angelic at the beach this afternoon, he has not yet sprouted wings and therefore could not catch the seagull, and steal its dead fish. I say “surprisingly angelic” because [...]
The Bitches of East Beach
It’s truly amazing, but Summer has finally arrived in Vancouver. It’s smokin’ hot outside! Tweed is shocked, and can’t believe it. Also, he thinks it might be a tad *too* hot outside. After all, he has not yet managed to negotiate storage terms with his winter coat, so he’s still wearing it. I’m sooooo hoooootttt. [...]
You throw your whole body in…
… you throw your whole body out … My biglittle mutant puppy, terrified of swimming though he may be, has no fear of the stock tank and hops in and out at will. It’s probably a good 3 feet high and he just hurls himself in from a standstill on the ground – doesn’t use [...]
No good deed goes unpunished
Yesterday I brought home an extra 25lbs or so of border collie in an itty bitty 16″ package. I did it in the name of rescue, not because I have a not-so-secret fondness for teeny tiny pointy border collie girlies. I said IN THE NAME OF RESCUE!! Stop looking at me like that! Meet Miss [...]
Happy Canada Day, eh?
Happy Birthday Canada! Love, a Proud Canadian
