Our three pups turned 15 today. From right, Cholie, Salty and in back Frodo. They are joined by their older sister Sadie front left. And we're thinking of and missing their litter mate, our dear, sweet Ruby Darlin'. These are the last dogs we raised from puppies, we still call them "the pups."
I have to say it is not such an easy thing to get these dogs to pose for a photo. We will celebrate with a party and "pup-cakes" this weekend.
BTW, if anyone is thinking of criticizing me, those are spruce cones back there, not dog turds. ;-) However, other criticisms are welcome.

I wanted to finish the little Frodo series with a short video, but I can't get it to upload, then I found some old prints....

Northern elephant seals are not presently endangered. At one time, however, this species was thought to have been hunted to extinction. They were presumed extinct by the 1880's, after being exploited by hunters and whalers seeking to use the animals' thick layer of blubber as an oil source. Now you can see Northern Elephants gathered on the beach in a "rookery" where the females give birth, the males fight for dominance, and the newborn pups try to stay out of the way.
Following on from my recent close-up shots of the Grey Seal pup...
Once the pup had finished suckling he had a tender moment with his mum.

A five-day old Hawaiian monk seal pup explores the shoreline a few feet from the safety of its mother. It is the tenth pup born on Oahu in 2024. Endemic to Hawaii, this species of monk seal was established in the archipelago millions of years before the present human populated main volcanic islands emerged above sea level. The original seal-occupied islands have since receded to coral atolls and are now part of Papahānaumokuākea. A recent survey by NOAA estimated a small, but encouraging, population increase to 1,570 individuals throughout the Hawaiian archipelago. However, Hawaiian monk seals remain endangered and among the rarest of marine mammals. The Hawaiian name for a monk seal is ilio holo i ka uaua meaning dog that runs in rough seas. This young one appeared very puppy-like.

Apparently, when elephant seal pups get separated from their mothers or are simply abandoned, they will seek and be accepted by another nursing mother. But apparently the mother only has enough milk for one, so it doesn't work out for the others in the long run, or if they all continue to nurse, it may not work out for any of them.
If you are wondering about that "E" on the female, so was I until contacting a docent at the colony: the "E" is part of a hair dye marking (which goes away with the next molt) to individually identify this seal, part of a study at another colony, possibly Ano Nuevo.
Frodo, "Pup-pup" on the occasion of his 17th birthday today!!
Feisty, strong-willed, affectionate, active, stubborn. Slowing down but still very healthy. So good and the last of the dogs we raised from birth.
Last Seal pup for a while, taken on a beach in Norfolk this morning at sunrise. Long lens and large crop, don't get too close as it can scare the mother away and they sometimes don't return and the pup starve..
A young seal pup. You don't see many this young in January.
All my photos are taken with a 600mm telephoto lens, so I am a good distance away from all the seals.

Hug a Husky puppy at the Husky Sledding location in Tromso.
Cold wind blowing as the sun was setting and we were about to go off for 30 minute ride around the countryside on husky drawn sledges - immense excitement of the dogs who love just pulling sledges. But will be some time before this pup gets in the action.

The Foxen head by Sugarcult was updated to bento for free, which was a superb little surprise, so here's a little husky pup for the occasion.
Using the Cottontail body ( by sugarcult as well ) for a change, and while I do love the shape and look of it, the clothing options for it are limited... so here's to hoping for more in the future!

The Haliburton Forest and Wolf Centre has a captive pack of 9 adult wolves. The wolves roam a 15 acre wooded enclosure and have minimal contact with humans. Photography is only through one way glass. Currently they have one pup that is 10 wks old.

Hyenas give birth in a communal den, however there is no communal care for the pups. Not even the fathers take a role in caring for the pups. Liter sizes in Hyenas are very small, consisting of 1-4 pups. Hyena pups are born with their eyes open and teeth!!
Hyenas live in clans. A clan, which is separated into packs, can contain up to 80 individuals!! Although Hyenas are also considered cooperative hunters, they are competitive in nature and will fight within the clan for food or dominance.
Female dominance within groups: The core of the clan is comprised of related females forming a hierarchy. In fact the instinctive desire for dominance is so strong in Hyenas that newborn pups will fight immediately after birth to gain dominance and right to food. It is estimated that 1 in 4 hyena pups die within the first month due to sibling fighting.
Hyenas are significantly more aggressive than African Wild Dogs. Hyenas have even been known to confront lions: not for food, but to fight. Hyenas are closer related to mongooses and cats
So I've been working (trying) with Barn Owls for the past month with some success, as per the earlier photos, but they seem spooked every time I try to use a wide angle lens. Hence the lack of images recently!
I'll persevere with the Owls, but I decided to spend the last couple of days working on different subjects. So yesterday saw me heading to the east coast in search of seals. Fortunately there is a Grey Seal colony close to where I live. My luck seemed to be in as this newly born Grey Seal pup was very inquisitive. I'd watched him from afar as he suckled with his mother. After a while he moved away and his mother went off to find a comfortable rock pool to lounge around in. As I lay watching him, initially with a 500mm lens as this shot shows, he slowly came over towards me, so close to being within touching distance.
My daughter and I went out to Donna Nook nature reserve early this morning to see the seals. Donna Nook is the largest grey seal breading colony in England. So far this winter there have been 247 pups born. A little way to go to beat last year's 1400+ pups.
My 9 year old daughter had a whale of a time with my bridge camera (I'll post a couple of her shots later).
Eddie enjoys his sweater. Maxwell has never enjoyed wearing a sweater. He may change his mind once the real cold and snow arrives much less the cold winds.

Donna Nook, Lincs. If the weather's reasonable I might head up there again this weekend.

I took this photo half an hour after this seal pup was born. The grey seals come to the East Lincolnshire coast at Donna Nook to have their pups each year. As of today 165 had been born, many more seals were expecting to give birth in the next few days. It was a wonderful sight.

At 15 years 7 months we still call him and his brother Frodo "the pups." The last of the dogs we raised from birth. Cholie has some nerve damage affecting his back legs, but otherwise he is a happy and healthy boy.
A trip to the Southern Ocean isn’t just about penguins—although we absolutely love them. All millions of them.
But this time, it was the seal pups that completely stole our hearts.
Clumsy, curious, dramatic, and full of attitude, they bounced, flopped, and charged around like they owned the place. One minute they were bravely posturing, the next they were tripping over their own flippers or collapsing into an exhausted nap. Big personalities packed into small, awkward bodies.
