My cat Wallace doesn't like the vet. Not even for checkups like this one. Maybe it's because they always tell him he's fat. (18 lbs! Mother of God!) On the other hand...
Boo Bear, a 1yr old miniature English bulldog, doesn't seem to mind the vet so much. In fact, I doubt she minds anything. Her owner says she even loves going to the groomer. Maybe it's her pink nail polish that's cheering her up.
Just trying a macro shot on something other than a flower, seeing if I could find some interesting texture. But I think my equipment is not quite up to achieving the effects I'd hoped. Plus, Wallace wouldn't hold still. He kept breathing. Selfish little bastard.
I didn't say it'd be a good picture a day.
In Lucerne, Switzerland, this dog was playing in the lake with his owner. The owner would throw this stick far out into the lake, and Gino would eagerly swim out and get it. Our group--about 45 people--was cheering him on and yelling "Good dog!", but he was utterly, happily focused--he didn't care about anything but his owner and that stick.
Haven't been posting much while I'm traveling--functional internet access is too hard to come by. I have indeed been taking like 75 pictures a day, though. :) I'll start posting regularly again when I come home.
I went to the dog park the other day to take pictures, and this guy was my choice for the Most Awesomely Quirky-Looking Dog Award. (I mean, the ears alone should qualify him.) He was quite the sweetie, and seemed to feel I was very tasty, if all the licking was any indication.
Then I noticed he'd been sporting an erection throughout the proceedings and felt our time was over. I know, it's a dog, but...just how I felt.
I have many more dog park pictures, which I'll post at some later point...when I'm not about to leave for the airport in two hours for a trip to Europe.
This little guy was in a friend's bag, without any of us knowing it, even after we'd stood there talking for like 15 minutes.
The world must be very big for him.
