My first post in 52 weeks for dogs (thanks Anda!) I have five Border Collies and it was very tough deciding on who to pick for my victim, errr model ;-) I chose Stella, as she is the oddest of the bunch, with her striking colors and all....Stella is a 3 year old Border Collie (yes she is ;-) ) and we compete in sheepdog trials in and around Texas. Looking forward to the next 51 weeks!

February 2012 Monthly Scavenger Hunt entry - "Someone's Pet"
We had a little visitor this past week. My son, his wife and their 21 month old son stayed with us. They live in Washington, DC and their daycare closes for a week in the summer. We all took vacation days and had a lovely visit.
Della hasn't ever spent much time around a kid that age. Kids that age run, walk and move very differently than big kids. She was so good with my grandson. He was very interested in Della but a little apprehensive at first. I did get a few photos of them together but it was this one I liked best.
Rafa is just learning to talk and he was saying Della by the time they left. He would constantly point to her, say her name and then wave at her. It was the only thing I could understand. My daughter in law is from Brazil and they speak Portuguese to him. His daycare is Spanish speaking and we speak English to him. He seems to understand each language but the words he is using at this point are Portuguese.
I thought his little hand coming out and pointing at Della was a good representation of their visit.
I put a photo of Rafa and Della in the first comment box.
Mishka, our alpha Jack Russell tries to plant a kiss on her "baby" brother Pharoah's cheek. He is not impressed with her antics!

Thanks for looking.

I was taking pictures of Koko, and in the process I was "working" with Koko. Gracie wants to know why Koko was getting all the attention and fun while she was ignored. You can tell she is upset. Her ears are back, she is frowning. She is giving me "that look". Needless to say, she got her turn after Koko.
i took the dogs to downtown Cambridge today to get their 52 weeks and 12 months photos. the city has had a difficult past, but recently is being revitalized and refreshed, with new shops and restaurants, and several murals depicting life on the eastern shore of Maryland. it was nice to go somewhere different for this week. we will have to do it again!

My Cousin Duke, the shepherd/malamute husky mix, is now back home with his Mom and Dad.
We had hoped to keep him a bit longer but the heat and humidity are tough on the old boy, and though we got in one last walk this morning, temps are hitting 40C with the humidex today, and only slightly cooler over the weekend.
So we thought a collage of our few days together would be a nice way to send him off, which was what we did earlier this year when he visited for a few days. All of these are from or near the Prescott-Russell Trail in Ottawa, ON.
The photo from this morning sees me showing Duke all I know about tractors. He was not impressed, as my lesson consisted entirely of where you can pee on it.
But still, I think I'm slowly gaining his confidence, and though we don't really play together, and probably never will because Duke is not a touchy-feely kind of dog except with humans that he likes, we can at least share space without the tension of the past, and he certainly doesn't mind me alongside him when we're on our walks.
And that's good enough for me.
Here's the collage from May 19:

(No Saturday Morning Post for 7-23-16, as we've tried your patience enough this week with all the holiday photos. Thanks for the attention to Duke. We love him.)
