with the small dog

Little dog running on the bank of a lake. Shot with an a6000 and a 12mm f2 Samyang wide angle lens.

This is Shilo ^__^ she was so hyper that I was having a hard time focusing haha. I asked a stranger to take pictures of his very new puppy because she was irresistable :D And I found out they live on my street so I even get to see her grow up.

The Pekingese likes to remind its owners of its regal background, and expects to be petted and pampered. The Peke has a mind of its own and is condescending by nature. But when it decides to offer you its affection, you could not wish for a more loyal and loving companion........[excerpt from book titled A Dog of Your Own by Joan Palmer]

I thought I would try to edit something fancy. Getting Bebe to remain still was a challenge because she was sitting in a metal rocking chair and the big white sheet kept falling off her head. I managed to capture this while she was in the process of jumping down.

I made this photo of a scruffy looking dog sticking its head through a balcony railing as Melody and I were walking to our local public library several blocks from our San Francisco home. On our return trip, there were two little white dogs at the same house. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.

One of the cutest looking dogs around is the Lhasa Apso. This is my dog Coco and here is a little research into the history of this breed.

Historically, Lhasa Apsos were kept by the monasteries and nobility in Tibet as indoor watch dogs. They would sleep by their masters and with their high intelligence plus keen sense of hearing, would warn of any intruders. Lhasa Apsos were never bought or sold in Tibet. Instead, the Dalai Lama sent Lhasa Apsos in pairs to the emperors of China as gifts. High ranking visitors to Tibet also received them as gifts.

They are also referred to as the little bark sentinel lion dogs since fully grown Lhasa Apsos could resemble small lions with all their hair. Lhasa Apso dogs can also behave very much like lions exhibiting no fear when confronted by strangers or even larger dogs.

Despite its small size with adult females reaching 12 to 16 pounds and adult males ranging from 14 to 18 pounds, they are extremely hardy as well as rugged. Having existed in the extreme temperatures of Tibet for centuries, they are well suited for and actually enjoy romps in the snow. They are also long lived.

I've had a few minutes photo-session with Cookie in my office, quite a few years ago. Cookie was comfortably sitting in my beloved leather chair, while I was fiddling with my old point & shoot camera settings. I think it's a good idea to vote for Cookie, before you end up with your pants or your dress ripped in the back.

I wouldn't wanna take a chance ;-)

This Chihuahua was making it very well known that I was not to approach his truck

I made this portrait of Lucy Spector's beloved dog Chibi, a long haired Dachshund who rarely left Mrs. Spector's side. Lucy and Chibi were faithful companions to each other. Lucy truly loved her Chibi dog. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50 on October 28, 2015, three day's before Lucy's 91st birthday during our last visit to her Hillsborough home. This is the second of a series of four photos from this visit.

At heart a friendly little guy, but that big hulking lens left him with a bit of ambivalence.

May God bless and keep you always,

May your wishes all come true,

May you always do for others

And let others do for you.

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung,

May you stay forever young,

Forever young, forever young,

May you stay forever young.

--Bob Dylan, "Forever Young"

From a few months ago. I wonder how large these pups are now.
