Glove dogs I made for my kids as their Christmas Eve presents. From the book "Sock and Glove". The scarves are made from clothes they had outgrown.
Preface: This week just a simple drop and go. Please excuse that I haven't been that active the last week and won't be active in the week to come. I'm suffering from flu since last sunday, including fever and stuff. I'm feeling terrible, but didn't want to miss a shot of my 52 weeks project this year ;)
Now let's get to the shot. This is one of 5 shots (the best I could get considering my current condition) I took of Milla when she came back from a long hike with my wife and her friend Whisky (the dog not the drink), an Australian Shepherd. It was raining terribly so Milla thought it would be fun to go for a swim. As you can see... She is much stronger than me :D The water is ice cold, but Miss Labrador doesn't mind. Ok, they are bred for doing so, but still, it's very impressive!
Technical info: There was almost no light at all, so I had to use a flash shot through an umbrella. Fortunately, the set up is always ready to go.
my current nemesis who walks her dogs without a leash in the local parks and yells to everyone that her dogs - who charge up on you - are harmless. Of course my dog, Bailey, get all defensive and growly and she yells at me telling me that her dogs are nice and what the hell is wrong with your dog?
Of course there's a leash law in Asheville, but it doesn't apply to her because, well, she's an asshole.
Wooden box, out in the cold- minus 40 C, one meal a day.. that's the life of Eskimo dogs... Rankin Inlet- Nunavut, Canada
These are from a sheet that was an insert inside a Workbasket magazine. I don't have the magazine so I don't know what year they were published.
Wild Dogs were on the top of our wish list during our visit to Africa in 2015. We were in this same area of Linyanti, Botswana in 2013 and saw a pack of Wild Dogs. But it was not this pack. The dogs we saw in 2013 were killed by this pack after they went into their territory. If only they knew how endangered they were! Understandably, it was tremendously upsetting for those people who saw it and I'm glad I wasn't one of them.
One thing we noticed was how much lower the water level became in those 2 years as there was a severe shortage of rain in many parts of Africa. The Channel stopped flowing in 1980 and started again in 2008 and there was concern that the cycle could be repeated again that it will stop flowing.
This pack wanted to cross the channel to hunt on the other side. But they were smart not to attempt it because they knew there were crocodiles in the water. We followed them as they hunted. It was near sunset when they split up to increase their chances of being successful. By that time it was too dark for pictures but we saw an amazing demonstration of how they work together. 2 dogs caught an Impala but they were threatened by a Hyena. There was no attempt by these 2 dogs to have it all to themselves. They called for the rest of the group and they all came together. By this time all we could hear was the yelping of the Hyena. He finally thought it was in his best interest to leave the kill to the dogs and he came back later to finish off the bones.
Wild Dogs are the most successful hunters with a success rate of nearly 80%. They hunt as a team and, if there are pups, usually one adult stays back with them as there are other predators in the area. When the lead dog got tired, he would drop back and another would take the lead. Unlike lions, who let their cubs feed last, if there is anything left, they let their pups eat first. When the puppies got hungry and demanded food during the day, any adult would regurgitate to feed them. And they didn't stop begging until they got more food. It is very important that the pups grow up to be strong as that increases the size of the pack and, therefore, their success at hunting. There were no puppies in this pack.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Sled dogs waiting to be fed on the coast of an island near Ilimanaq in Disko Bay, Greenland, on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Around 5,000 sled dogs provide transport for business and pleasure for 4,500 people during the winter in Ilulissat and the surrounding villages . (Photo: Thalassini Douma)
Do not really know how those sticks smells….but when Lassie see them she turns into a crazy wolf!
She runs like crazy and she never gets tired of fetching them!
When there a stick it must be Lassie’s!
Maybe Candy can try to pick it up but then Lassie knows how to work the situation out: a little warning bite to Candy who let the stick fall down and it’s Lassie’s!
SOS she’s in disguise
SOS she’s in disguise
There’s a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out
A domesticated girl that’s all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon’s awake now with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry

Our son's terrier and believe me it is real ratter.
What a character but like all terriers virtually uncontrollable but loveable.
Ikaria, one of the most beautiful islands in Greece I've seen so far. The people are gorgeous, the landscape is rough and beautiful and you can feel the relaxed atmosphere. However the dogs on this island broke my heart.. The goatshepperds on this island use the dogs to prevent the goats from getting away but the circumstances are just terrible. This dog has 4 puppies, the mum is chained and has no possibiltie to correct the puppies. When we stopped here, the puppies came running towards us and the mother went crazy... So afraid for her puppies.. We went up to her and she is just the sweetest. The only thing they had was old bread and green water. There are people on the island who feed them but is seems not enough..
A couple of years ago there were more then 100 dogs tied up like this on Ikaria but the people from Ikaria went to court and the shepperds had to pay a fine, offcourse the did not want to pay the fine and instead they set the dogs free but now we already counted more then 11 chained dogs.
