Laila is a confident lady who knows what she wants. Today she wants to be chic, wear her green ballgown and go outside for a stroll in the Dutch countryside. Go ahead lady Laila, enjoy your walk and don't mind the Flickr camera following you everywhere. Lucky us 😄
This was Part 2 of a shoot we did at a grungy parking garage in Boise. Brit changed into a red corset and looked great in it. It was so nice to see her switch from nervous at the beginning to a completely relaxed, confident, young lady. I took these photos in mid-September 2022.
Throwback Clancy, 2yrs 31wks
Dad says that I'm slowly becoming a more mature and confident dog. I still have a ways to go, and I'll always keep learning new stuff, but I'm gaining confidence every day.
Here is a list of some of the things I'm proud of having learned so far, more or less:
Sit: always and immediately.
Down: either myself or from anything I'm on.
Off: applied specifically to me going up on humans, and which Dad
never has to use any more.
Stay: until released, even for a long time or if out of sight.
Wait: a more lenient form of stay which is over sooner, like when I
get my fur brushed or Dad wants to take a picture (usually mine!).
Come: always and immediately.
Up: onto or into something.
Go See: I can put my paws up on a ledge or window to see over or out.
Supper: I must sit by my feeding station until supper arrives so I don't get underfoot in my excitement to eat.
Play: inside or outside I can choose the object to play with Dad.
Job: I must go to down position near the indicated door while Dad
gets ready to take us out, so I don't get underfoot.
Fetch: I must run as fast as I can to the ball (or toy) there and back
and must release the object to Dad's hand.
Chase: it is up to me how fast I get the object (which is always fast!)
and I don't have to release it to Dad's hand.
Catch: to be repeated if I miss until I catch the object.
Careful: outside means to be aware of a potentially dangerous situation, inside means don't play so rough.
Heel: on leash or off I must move to the side Dad indicates immediately and stay glued there with no sniffing or distractions.
Here: a more lenient form of heel, where I have some leeway at his side.
Follow: get behind Dad and follow with no messing around.
Bicycle: there is cycle traffic approaching and I must move to the right shoulder of the path unless otherwise indicated.
Out: inside or outside this means I'm in or heading into forbidden territory and must leave or change course.
Almost all these commands begin with the word 'Start...', and end with 'Finish...', which releases me unless this is followed by another 'Start...' command. I'm sure there's more but I forget them right now (hey I'm just a dog).
There are also hand signals for many of them, which we practise
without the words at times.
Dad says that my understanding more and more of my place in our pack and the world increases my confidence in my own abilities. I can do tricks like hold a treat on my snout until given the command to take it, I can go up like a horse when Dad says Hi-yo Silver! or play dead when Dad pulls the trigger, and a few others.
I stand up for myself at the dog park now, though I've never started anything just to be mean, and I don't pick on smaller or weaker dogs, but if a dog tries to take my ball when I don't want him to I'll tell him off pretty good!
Dad says the others respect me now, especially the regulars, and it's better for all of us to know where we stand with each other when we play. It's usually the new or least controlled dogs who start things, but more than once we regulars have put them in their place real quick! Some owners want to run out and save the situation when there is a squabble, but Dad says that unless it's serious we should be allowed to sort it out ourselves, otherwise the problem is not resolved and may arise again.
Finally, there is one other word I know very well and like almost as much as 'Supper', and that is 'Cuddle?' There is no 'Start' word to this, as it is up to me to decide. Sometimes I choose no, but when I choose yes I'm reminded why I like the word so much!
So it's no wonder that when Dad gets home from work I let him know exactly how I feel about our relationship. He never ignores it, never cuts it short or hushes me, but joins right in, and that just might be the best confidence builder of all! Thanks, Dad.

She confidently looks at the camera and gives us her wonderful warm smile. That's what we need; now I'm smiling too and I hope you are as well.
She's looking absolutely gorgeous in her shiny turquoise cocktail dress. Just look at all the shiny frills of her dress, the soft satin of her skirt and the wonderful turquoise colors. And also to her natural beauty, her smooth skin, her feminine elegance and confident look. All amazing; she's definitely a stunner!

It appears the male coyote regular at Mt. Diablo has gotten a new mate! I'm not sure of the circumstances that lead to him ditching his old girl of almost 2 years for this new young chick, but I think he has good taste and I look forward to seeing her around more! I am also about 99% confident that I photographed her once back in January.

On another note, I took my car into the shop. Cracked head gasket - around $1200. Fortunately, there was no damage caused to the engine as a result of the overheating and the coolant mixing with the oil.
Oh well... that stuff happens when you drive a car with over 200,000 miles!
--------------------------------------------
About 2" of rain and wind is expected today and tomorrow. It sounds like the rainy season is finally among us. Since I am so tired of the dry earth, I think I am looking forward to it! :-)

I apologize for posting and leaving. German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California, of which I've been a member since July, is holding an adoption day in San Jose and I committed to being there. Thank God for Zipcar and I'll hopefully be catching up on your streams this evening!

The city of Vaison-la-Romaine was, unsurprisingly, built by the Romans, but only in part. In fact, it features two very different built-up areas: one leisurely laid out on flat land, and the other holding on tight to a tall and dominating rocky outcrop, on the other bank of River Ouvèze, which is spanned by a Roman bridge. And the history of Vaison is largely that of a going back and forth between those two areas.
The very first inhabitants of Vaison, pre-Roman conquest, prudently settled on the mountain. Traces of Neolithic occupation were found on its steep slopes. Confident in the Pax Romana they were bringing with them, the Romans settled comfortably in the plain, by the banks of the Ouvèze, and began building a lovely and remarkable city, of which many famous ruins remain. Then the invasions of Barbarians from the East, and Saracens from the South, drove the people back onto the mountain, where they took many of the Roman cut stones of the lower city to fortify, defend and build ramparts, homes and churches. It is not really until the 19th century that they deemed safe to go back down again and re-settle the Antique part of the city, building frenetically over Roman ruins. This being before the time of “pre-emptive archæological digs”, many such ruins are undoubtedly forever buried under the elegant homes of the 1800s Vaison.
The Château comtal (i.e., “Castle of the Counts”) we are visiting is a symbol of the centuries-long feud between the sacred and the secular —the former, we must admit, being largely the main culprit: while it is true that secular powers oftentimes tried to encroach upon the religious (for example by trying to usurp and appropriate the right to appoint bishops, abbots or abbesses), the clerical powers-that-be were equally, if not more often liable to try and meddle in, and establish their rule over, profane affairs and management of what we would call today “civilian” life.
In Vaison, bishop Bertrand de Mornas was guilty of such an appropriation and was consequently driven away by force in 1160 by Raymond V of Toulouse, the Toulouse family being the local overlords at the time. The next bishop, Bertrand de Lambesc, re-took the town in 1178 but let Raymond’s troops station on the mountaintop. There, true to form, they built a wooden fort in 1183 to symbolize their domination; it is the ancestor of the castle we still see today. In 1185, the then-bishop, Bérenger de Reillanne, burned that fort. Count Raymond sent his troops back right away, once again driving the bishop away. Between 1190 and 1193, they built a stone castle impervious to fire. :o)
The castle is not open to the public, as there are some spaces that are dangerous. The municipality, which owns the monument, has been working for quite a while in the perspective of opening it one day. Securing the ways to access is also a big challenge, as the whole mountaintop, including the bedrock, is listed as a Historic Landmark. Therefore, nothing can be touched unless declassified —an administrative nightmare— and I verified for myself that getting there can be very tricky, slippery and risky. The way cannot be publicly endorsed as is, oit would bring a slew of law suits against the town. I was permitted access inside in my capacity as pro bono photographer for the Fondation du Patrimoine.
