Can we say ZOMG?!?! I'm upstate New York at my Mother's house for Christmas...the morning after, on December 26th, I wake up and walk sleepily to the kitchen to fetch a cup of coffee. As I plop myself into a seat near the bay window facing the backyard, guess what I see?
That's right! ZOMG! A wild turkey! I'm grateful that my body allowed me to crawl and get this shot without disturbing the Turkey's foraging.
I don't care how common they are, I was still amazed! It was my first time ever seeing one in person!
Our Floris loves to play fetch:-) He can go on for like an hour! We have never trained him to do it, it's entirely his own idea:-)
this cool dude wanted to hang out. he brought a huge coconut so we could play fetch; it seemed a lot easier for him to carry it with his teeth than it was for me to throw.
A quartet of side-lit DM&E/IC&E SD40-2s on the 473 train roll past a friendly dog and his human at Fenton High School in Bensenville.
While waiting for this shot, I pre-occupied the dog by tossing his slobbery tennis ball as far as possible to try and keep the scene, but at the last moment, old Yeller decided to return the ball to his new human for another throw.
My funny little bandit again, this time with her bandit dog hoping to play 'fetch' with the dog, but I think the dog has other ideas.
SOLD.
If only it was just a touch sharper! But as the items around Riley are sharp can I only surmise that 1/640 just wasn't fast enough.
With the trees gone, I guess I'll try going even faster.

Tanner, a dachshund and chihuahua mix and maybe some more, was scheduled to be put down when he was rescued by a cocker spaniel rescue. He has been to many foster homes and boarding kennels for the last couple of months, finally coming to our home. He is the sweetest little guy, extremely affectionate and cuddly, but also super energic when he wants to. They get along with Maya very well, sharing (!) toys and chasing each other.
This is Tanners first day with his foster parents and sibling Maya the beagle.

galapagos sea lion - genovesa island - galapagos, ecuador
sea lions are very playful by nature. this one had a stick and seemed endlessly amused by tossing and then swimming after it. i watched him play that game for about 30 minutes; he eventually got as curious about me as I was about him so he swam up to the rock where I was sitting. I found a stick and threw it into the water. And of course, he took off after it!
amazing place, the galapagos - where else can you play fetch with a wild sea lion?
After our paddleboarding trip around Alta Lake, we saw this dog chasing tennis balls into the lake. He surprised everyone with a ladder climb out of the lake to return the ball for another throw.
Kos or Cos (Greek: Κως) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos.
In Homer's Iliad, a contingent from Kos fought for the Greeks in the Trojan War.[12]
In the Roman mythology, the island was visited by Hercules.[13]
The island was originally colonised by the Carians. The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture.[14]
Its early history–as part of the religious-political amphictyony that included Lindos, Kamiros, Ialysos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus, the Dorian Hexapolis (hexapolis means six cities in Greek),[15]–is obscure. At the end of the 6th century, Kos fell under Achaemenid domination but rebelled after the Greek victory at the Battle of Mycale in 479. During the Greco-Persian Wars, before it twice expelled the Persians, it was ruled by Persian-appointed tyrants, but as a rule it seems to have been under oligarchic government. In the 5th century, it joined the Delian League, and, after the revolt of Rhodes, it served as the chief Athenian station in the south-eastern Aegean (411–407). In 366 BC, a democracy was instituted. In 366 BC, the capital was transferred from Astypalaia to the newly built town of Kos, laid out in a Hippodamian grid. After helping to weaken Athenian power, in the Social War (357-355 BC), it fell for a few years to the king Mausolus of Caria.
Proximity to the east gave the island first access to imported silk thread. Aristotle mentions silk weaving conducted by the women of the island.[16] Silk production of garments was conducted in large factories by women slaves.[17]
In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Its alliance was valued by the kings of Egypt, who used it as a naval outpost to oversee the Aegean. As a seat of learning, it arose as a provincial branch of the museum of Alexandria, and became a favorite resort for the education of the princes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. During the hellenistic age, there was a medical school; however, the theory that this school was founded by Hippocrates (see below) during the classical age is an unwarranted extrapolation.[18] Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus.
Diodorus Siculus (xv. 76) and Strabo (xiv. 657) describe it as a well-fortified port. Its position gave it a high importance in Aegean trade; while the island itself was rich in wines of considerable fame.[19] Under Alexander the Great and the Egyptian Ptolemies the town developed into one of the great centers in the Aegean; Josephus[20] quotes Strabo to the effect that Mithridates was sent to Kos to fetch the gold deposited there by the queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Herod is said to have provided an annual stipend for the benefit of prize-winners in the athletic games,[21] and a statue was erected there to his son Herod the Tetrarch ("C. I. G." 2502 ). Paul briefly visited here according to Acts 21:1.
Except for occasional incursions by corsairs and some severe earthquakes, the island has rarely had its peace disturbed. Following the lead of its larger neighbour, Rhodes, Kos generally displayed a friendly attitude toward the Romans; in 53 AD it was made a free city. Lucian (125–180) mentions their manufacture of semi-transparent light dresses, a fashion success.[22] The island of Kos also featured a provincial library during the Roman period. The island first became a center for learning during the Ptolemaic dynasty, and Hippocrates, Apelles, Philitas and possibly Theocritus came from the area. An inscription lists people who made contributions to build the library in the 1st century AD.[23] One of the people responsible for the library's construction was the Kos doctor Gaiou Stertinou Xenofontos, who lived in Rome and was the personal physician of the Emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero.[24]
The bishopric of Cos was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Rhodes.[25] Its bishop Meliphron attended the First Council of Nicaea in 325. Eddesius was one of the minority Eastern bishops who withdrew from the Council of Sardica in about 344 and set up a rival council at Philippopolis. Iulianus went to the synod held in Constantinople in 448 in preparation for the Council of Chalcedon of 451, in which he participated as a legate of Pope Leo I, and he was a signatory of the joint letter that the bishops of the Roman province of Insulae sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian with regard to the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Dorotheus took part in a synod in 518. Georgius was a participant of the Third Council of Constantinople in 680–681. Constantinus went to the Photian Council of Constantinople (879).[26][27] Under Byzantine rule, apart from the participation of its bishops in councils, the island's history remains obscure. It was governed by a droungarios in the 8th/9th centuries, and seems to have acquired some importance in the 11th and 12th centuries: Nikephoros Melissenos began his uprising here, and in the middle of the 12th century, it was governed by a scion of the ruling Komnenos dynasty, Nikephoros Komnenos.[25]
I wish we'd figured out sooner than she loved the Puller rings! She's the only dog that has. She was getting good at learning to fetch.
