For New Years I have re-issued a couple from southwestern Ontario - "Pups in Flight" . . . the CP Galt Subdivision westbound pickup (mainline local) with 4 - pups exits Woodstock, Ontario with the sweet sound that only a pack of SW1200RS's in run 8 can make - June 6, 1976.
The juveniles and pups-wolves under two years old do not have any permanent positions within the pack hierarchy. They obey orders of their parents and older brothers and sisters, but their relationships with each other may change. During their play, they are trying to find out who will eventually be “top wolf” in their age group.
Thanks for your visits and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

With a new six-axle restriction on the former Lehigh Valley from Pittston to Mehoopany, PA, Reading & Northern job PIME/MEPI has been seeing some interesting power lately in the former of GP30's and SW8's. With the GP30's in passenger service this day, "pups" 800 and 801, of DLW and LV heritage respectively, powered the Mehoopany turn. Here, MEPI is seen returning east to Pittston as he passes through Falls, PA along the Susquehanna River. Thanks BP for the tip.
I saw my first pack of wild dogs in Selous, now Nyerere, almost twenty years ago. In February this year I made a return visit in the hope of seeing some more dogs. We had a good sighting on my second day and found the dogs post hunt looking for a nice place to rest. We returned to the spot once the day trippers had gone and spent some quality time watching the pups play.

Labrador pup 4 months old. He was challenged by the camera, to him a big eye. Not scared for anything, just exploring a photographer laying on the ground :-)

Harbour Seal pups gain weight quickly on their mother's fat rich (around40%) milk and are weaned at 2-6 weeks at which point mothers leave them to fend for themselves. The mother has lost 50% of her body weight by then and must feed herself.
"Why hello there, Mr. Tennis Ball" was pretty much straight outta the camera (made a slight exposure adjustment)...so thought I'd repost this one after I worked through a couple of processing tuts that make the pup and tennis ball pop just a little more. Maybe it's TOO much.
I was a little worried about this pup as there was no sign of Mum but I think the pups are left for periods of time.
All my photos are taken with a 600mm telephoto lens, so I am a good distance away from all the seals.

I'm looking forward to heading back to Reading and Northern country soon. You never know what you might see. Here's one that's been sitting around a while. The light is far from ideal but the subject is pretty cool so it's perfect for a middle of the night posting!
Reading and Northern train NRRB (North Reading roustabout) has five cars trailing three classic EMD end cab switchers, RBMN 1548, 803, and 1542. SW1500 1548 in the lead is right at home here at MP 76 on the old Reading mainline. It was built in Aug. 1969 as RDG 2768, trailing 803 is an SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as LV 270, and 1542 is an MP15 blt. Apr. 1982 as SOU 2426.
They are on track 2 and track 1 in the foreground is relatively new, having been installed in conjunction with the CTC installation and new interlocking they are rolling through that is named MULLER after RBMN founder, owner, and CEO. They paused for a few minutes waiting for permission to proceed north to work in Port Clinton. Engineer Chip Allen graciously put on a show accelerating from the stop for the few of us trackside fans!

We waited patiently near this termite mound, now the den of a family of banded mongoose, until the curious pups finally appeared. Masai Mara, Kenya.

I went to Ballantrae Bay, after lunch, today. This beautiful little guy was lying on gravel on the beach, looking sad, lost and lonely... I thought he had slipped from the rocks, behind, and couldn’t get back into the sea. Some people (three!) were very concerned so I called the Scottish SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) who immediately dispatched an officer to the scene.
The officer called me, a couple of hours later, saying she couldn’t find the pup...I gave very explicit directions, and she arrived at the place I had been, earlier. It seems the tide had come in and, either, the pup took off into the sea, or his mother came to collect him after feeding, all day.
I checked on the University of Google (!) and it appears that after four weeks, the seal cows abandon their babies!!! I was aghast!
I really hope this poor wee soul isn’t as old as four weeks, or that he is maybe six or seven weeks and can fend for himself...U of G also said that after being weaned at four weeks, the pups live off their fat reserves, for quite some time.
Nature, eh? Beautiful but brutal...
Come on, wee sweetie - you can do it!

Thanks for all your visits, faves, and comments. Much appreciated.
Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.
This is Layla - she is 6 months old and a weimerainer. I call her the velociraptor. Sorry the photo is blurry but she never stops moving.

Taken from behind the fence at Donna Nook LWT, Lincolnshire.
A photograph I took last autumn. I've often found that the young pups will engage with you a little when you are watching them (despite having your face hidden by your camera). This one was really enjoying playing with this plant stem.
Pup's name is Tango Hombre -- as in "Tango Man" -- but with the alternate spelling of "tengo hambre" (which suits his appetite).
We spent the longest time coming up with his name, and had just about settled on Tango Jack. We really liked the sound of Tango (two distinctive syllables, with strong consonants and long vowels), and we liked the initials TJ (after Thomas Jefferson, a long story), and the idea was to use the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...) but when we looked up J and found out it was Juliet, we had to adapt. So that's the first half of the story, and we even filled out his papers with that name. But, after further discussion, the pun won out. His papers were changed, and they are in the mail. Finally and officially: he's Tango Hombre.
