He was just too cute..
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving :) I was down in Seattle with my family.. so you'll be seeing a lot of photos from there!
My dog was scanned and expected to have "at least 6 puppies". So today I was "delighted" to get 10. Yes T E N puppies.
Of course today - being Friday 13th - the dog also escaped at the last moment when I was distracted and gave birth to one of them in our garden - I found the first born puppy hanging through a chain-link fence about to drop 12ft onto concrete! Luckily the puppy was squeaking so loudly I found her before calamity struck. The whelping box, some towels and a pair of Marigolds sorted out the rest!
Mom protecting her young. Notice no sand on the pup so it can not be very old. Thanks to each of you for your comments. Not sure why I posted it again, but it does seem to show the mother's love for her pup. I am very thankful for so many views, favs and comments! This image is the best I have done on flickr out of all my images. Thanks again to each of you for your time on my site!
One of the air plants I bought months ago had come with pups. As I was new to the hobby of growing tillandsias, I was a bit afraid to attempt to separate them. Now that I am more confident handling them, I decided to remove the many of my flowering tillandsia. I did so carefully, and ended up with these 6 yesterday. Since then, I've removed several more, some even more teeny tiny than these. There are even still more attached to the mother but I've decided to leave those alone for the time being as they are a bit tangled up right now.
My two Yellow Lab mixes Yella and Lady Joined by Leaia (my daughters Sheapard). They are always there at the screen when I come home.
I've heard some strange barking and what sounds like a child screaming during the middle of the night. It turns out it was a fox! She had four little pups and I was able to get a close up of one today.
I saw two loose neighborhood dogs (a problem in this neighborhood) sniffing at the den entrance. I banged on the window and shouted & they left.......was that the last straw for Mama Fox?
Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent brightness is due to it being close (8.6 light years) and because it is 25x brighter than our sun. For thousands of years Sirius has been associated with either dogs or dog-like gods. Its closeness to the sun during northern hemisphere summers was historically thought to add additional heat (with the sun) to create the Dog-Days-of-Summer which adversely affects both dogs and men. The star, Sirius, marks the eye of the large hunting dog belonging to the mighty celestial hunter Orion and thus is often referred to as the Dog Star, even though its real translation is “the scorching one” or “the brilliant one”.
Sirius is a double star. Its much dimmer companion is a White Dwarf (the collapsed core of a star after its nuclear life is over). It is called “Sirius B” or “The Pup”. The Pup is smaller than the Earth in size, but its total mass is nearly equal to the mass of our sun. Its density is off the chart, a teaspoon of this star would weigh over 2,000 pounds on Earth. The Pups surface temperature is far hotter than our sun and even that of Sirius itself (remember no nuclear reactions are taking place in the Pup).
The Pup circles Sirius every 50 years and its orbit is strongly elliptical. Only during the part of the orbit that takes it away from Sirius do amateur astronomers have a chance to see the Pup. At other times it is just too close to bright Sirius to be seen. We are currently in luck. The Pup is now 12 arcseconds from Sirius and its distance will be growing over the next few years.
Do not be fooled by the Pup’s distance and brightness (magnitude 8.5), it is still very, very difficult to see. The problem is that Sirius is so bright that the Pup is lost in the glare. It is currently doable in telescopes of 100mm and above without having to resort to fancy tricks like occulting bars or special filters. But only if everything else is perfect. If the telescope has any tube currents, is not perfectly collimated, or is of inferior quality you will likely not see it. Even if your telescope is perfect you are still going to need a stable atmosphere. If Sirius appears to be changing colors or twinkling through your telescope, then don’t waste your time looking for the Pup. If Sirius is a rock-solid white point of light, then up the magnification and go for the Pup. It is not often I can find the Pup with my 155mm refractor; the atmosphere is rarely stable enough. On one exceptional night, about a year ago, I teased out the Pup with my 110mm refractor, but I have not yet seen it with my 85mm and 60mm refractors (but I have tried). I would be curious to hear if anyone has spotted the Pup in something less than a 100mm telescope. It should be possible.

Found at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge in eastern New Mexico. Chaves County, New Mexico, USA.
This pupal exuvium was found sticking up out of the soil. Thinking it might be an Asilidae pupal exuvium.
Found in this vicinity: 33.44395N 104.40602W.
Single exposure, moderately cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
Sopwith Pup (9917/G-EBKY), The Shuttleworth Collection. Best of British Airshow, Old Warden, 12th May 2024.
The cat is the BOSS the big pup knows it and is trying to teach his cousins how to be nice to the cat so the cat does not slap them in hte face... Scruff knows how to put them in there place.. But pups love to play with Scruffles...
This 50 year old aircraft is parked up at EGKR/KRH having just arrived from a private airfield in Devon 23/06/20
NS 2103 is dwarfed by 7227 both with Conrail heritage. Time is short for the pup but the Mac will live to see another rebuild.
Altoona, PA
3 North Shore "Pups", GE Steeple cabs, are southbound passing Highwood Shops with 2 loads of coal for Highland Park. January 1961. From my collection.
Here's another of our new recruits. This montage shows four sides of a single pup. At least we think it does as many of these siblings look very alike.
The pup - not named at the time this images was taken - is one of a litter that are just beginning the careers as operational police dogs in Greater Manchester Police.
This image was taken on the day the pups went away to spend some time with volunteer careers before returning to start their full time training.

Finally got my hands on a Bronica, and went out and shot two rolls when it was really dark, so I basically trashed 2 full rolls. But thats okay, I was dumb for shooting when it wasn't very light out. Anyway, this was one of the better shots on the roll.

This fox pup let me get about 12 feet away crawling on my belly about a foot at a time for almost a half an hour. The cat food kept him steady while I moved in. Definitely the coolest pics I've gotten with the new 70-200f2.8L lens and 1.4x extender.
I came across some more pics of Rio's pups. All 10 piled high sleeping. Hank & Trace can be picked from the bunch, the others we can only guess.
After giving a few away & misfortunate accidents we now have 4 of these pups. (Trace, Molly, Panda & Boz)
This picture was taken before they could see or hear.

We were in La Jolla waiting for sunset to take some long exposure shots of the La Jolla Tidepools when we noticed some sea lion pups playing in the waves. These two seemed to be having a great time playing in the surf and we had fun taking some shots of them before sunset arrived.
Sorry I missed yesterday but Pup's been rather unwell ... was all set to take her to the vet today but overnight she's picked up, thank Heavens!
Some sort of tummy bug methinks, but she really went down like a felled oak, needing peace and quiet more than cuddles and suchlike.
Then, this morning, she perked up, went out for her walk in her usual happy way then stole my cup of coffee! I suppose that will help with rehydrating her, at least!
And before you say it, I know that coffee isn't good for dogs, but she's been stealing it for 9 years now, whenever she could get at my mug, ever since she was a tiny puppy ... in fact the first time she got her nose in my coffee mug and drank the lot, after 10 minutes she let forth a huge belch, rattling the windows! She looked horrified at belching, then rather amused with herself! 😁
