Rex(asaurus)

It had to be done, sorry! Rex is a gorgeous Lurcher boy, his mum received a ShortDog voucher for xmas and she was very eager to have the session so fresh into the New Year I headed up to see Rex and his owner.
He’s a little rescue doggie and boy is he spoiled – regularily walking 12-20miles!! I almost collapsed just at the thought of that, far more stamina and enduance than I’ll ever have!!

Rex just loooves his toys, inside it’s his soft ones, outside it’s balll-mad! We did have to stop by the house on the way from the lake heading to the field though, because Rex likes to destroy his white mini footballs, tut tut!
I should add, that yes Rex went swimming in these pics that’s fine isn’t it…It was most definatley below 5degrees that day, so I’d hate to think what temp the water was! Brrrr

Days 22-28 of 366

And hello, welcome to the third (or fourth? I’m losing track!) week of this year! Hope it’s a good’un for you all.

You’ll probably realise looking through all my 366 photos even by now, that they’re much the same. I’m not really pushing myself with this, it’s a bit of a chore sometimes – really need to push myself though as that’s the whole point of this!

British Side-note: The weather’s a bit all over the place isn’t it at the moment, rain, mild, freezing cold – rinse and repeat! (it’s one of the reasons I’m opting mostly for indoor photos!!)

Riley Lab – Short Session

I had the pleasure of photographing the gorgeous 8month(?) old Riley, a chocolate lab, a couple of weeks ago. Another xmas voucher – yay! – his mum wanted a short session as he’s only a pup and as Riley proved to me, pups give you so so much in such a short space of time, this wasn’t an issue at all! It was the most fun to have in 30minutes if you ask me!

Riley has been going to training for quite a while and it really does show, his owners have put a lot of work into him – he’s going to be a fantastic well rounded adult dog!

The moment I met Riley I did have to chuckle he is 100% going through the gangly teenager stage – those loooooooooooong legs and his slinky puppy body on top, he is going to be so gorgeous once he grows into himself, a nice slender Lab – how they should be!

So, once again, enough with the rambling, and onto the photos!!


Days 15-21 of 366

I know, I’m a day late posting today – sorry! Things are a little busy here at SDP HQ!!

I almost gave this up at the beginning of the week after running out of time and not able to take a photo – so I cheated a bit at the start – I apologise, but it made me realise that maybe I won’t be as strict with the whole ‘dog 366′ as I originally was, allowing for som non doggie or cat 366 photos and just ensuring I get at least one photo in a day full stop. I hope all of you are OK with this rule change – it will only be the odd photo here and there, so not entirely non-dog!

I will get on with the pics for days 15-21 right now!

Max and Sheba

I know, it’s not like me to blog twice in a day! haha
Max and Sheba are the doggies in the family that is cats cats cats. These guys are just awesome, really love them. Such characters and such softies, too. It’s a great help when the dogs have a little training behind them – it makes the odd posey shots I like to get quite a bit better, I think.

Hopefully you’ll all fall in love with Max and Sheba after this blog post, too. Woods are such a fantastic place for sessions – WHEN THE LIGHT IS BRIGHT – otherwise they’re a nightmare! Thankfully it was a good day when we tramped to the woods.

Max is a ball obsessed CollieShep and Sheba is a gorgeous calm squirrelchasing Shep. These two make a good team when spot/hear a squirrel – the only time Max drops his ball in an instant is when there’s the possibility to chase a squirrel!

 

I adoooooooore this shot for some reason! (squirrel watching)

Kate - I just love the second shot black and white was just right for it. Mind you the others are nice too.

ShortDog - Awww thank you Kate!!
