SG.. I didn't "catch a thing".. didn't even see your post when I was posting. I don't use spellchecker; it irritates me. LOL at the little dog.. he'd better not be around any large dogs; they'd think it was a toy for sure.

Yes...I finally got a good picture of our frenchie Sophie. Usually she barks at the camera and attacks whoever is pointing it at her. She headbutts, typical of the breed. She is mine, DH has the pug's heart. I melt everytime I look at her, she is outrageously spoiled!

It is difficult photographing animals when you are the only one there.. they just naturally go to you (or bit the camera).. Many years ago when we got a super 8 camera we were shooting film on the Berkeley campus and there was a monkey.. he came right up and licked the lens.. Good job getting that picture!

Sophie is sooo cute! I just make Finnegan sit, and then say a few of his "words" to him -- words like "chicken," "puppy school," and "do you like to play?" always do the trick! His eyes get wide and he gives me a little head nod to the side, and voila! A picture!

Awww.. We used to train our pups to sit really young.. of course at first that just meant that little butt had to hit the floor (with their little otter tails, that labs should have, wagging like crazy) before they dove into their food, but then increasing the length of time. They learned to respond to "sit" and also to a single whistle, which later translated to being told to sit when they were at a puppy trial or field test. We also trained them to the whistle for "come" which we started at feeding time when they had a good incentive to come and then sit.. Some people who compete in obedience like to train them to "stand" first because that can be harder to do later after they are praised for doing a "sit".

Our airedale, Jackson was obedience trained, and he was so good. One time we were camping and I left him on down stay at the clubhouse, went out the other door with some friends and forgot him...an hour later I went to get him and he was still there...he was leaning trying to see me but he was still on down stay. And then there is Sophie!! She only does what she wants to do and then only after thinking it over. But she is sooo cute with huge brown eyes. The way I got this picture was by pointing a laser light on the wall and DH taking the picture.

Such great pictures. Saxy the girls look like they came thru with flying colours. The JRTs are so adorable, and call me whatever what costume does that little chi. have on? PS. Oscar is really testing me lately, he seems to think everything is a game and has very selective hearing

Supergranny, now that you've described that Sophie is looking at a laser light on the wall, I can totally visual the moment in your posted picture...lol! She's quite a character huh? What kind of dog is a "frenchie"? She's cute! Yankee, I'm in love with Finnegan!! What a cutie pie you have there. I always enjoy seeing his pictures!

Those little guys are so adorable that I know I could never get one. I am a softie when it comes to animals, and they look like they would be bossing me around endlessly! Eeyore needs a pug but I am getting impatient. I want her to get one NOW so I can enjoy her being pushed around by a four legged fella. I am more of a cat person, but I have been looking at the Chinese Crested. Now that is one dog I think could finally stop my cat from bossing me around so much.

I have to go picture hunting soon, after I finish working today. My mother-in-law's boyfriend's dobie, Brutus, has to be put asleep tonight. This dog, I love him to death. He's the big softie among their 5 dogs (the other 4 are 2 pommies and 2 dashschunds). Anyhow, the other day, his back legs started to not work, then now his front legs hardly work and he's having such a hard time. My MiL said he smells so bad now as well, the other boys won't even go by him. It's definitely time for him to go. I'll miss him. He was such a moosh. While we were out in NY, there was a thunderstorm. He hates thunder. He climbed up onto the couch next to me and snuggled up til it passed. I have a photo of him somewhere, I think on my laptop. I'll share it with you all later.

Saxy, I'm sorry to hear the news about Brutus. Having to put down a beloved furbaby is so full of emotions...well, for me anyway. I'm one who wears her heart on her sleeve and let the emotions flood forth. As most of you know, we had to put down our Cocomo after having her for 14 years and even tonight when I walked out into the huge backyard, I was missing her presence. Time heals all the heartfelt feelings that come with losing one of your furbabies. On a lighter note, I get to meet Momma Mia in 2 days...YAY!

I'm the same way, Coco. I still miss my cat Jade and she's been gone 3 yrs, although it's not so painful like it was. I do often catch myself calling Misha, Jade! Yay for getting to see Momma Mia. I can't wait to hear what you have to report!! I posted this at Saxy's suggestion in the Military thread since I was talking about my nephew getting his wife a puppy while he was home on his 2 wk R&R from Iraq and I thought you all would enjoy the pictures here. Here's the funny story - I had no idea WHAT it was when my SIL sent me the picture since it was upside down and she only said it was their new baby "Tank." I was ROFL when my DD looked at it and realized it was upside down and it was a puppy - a Pekingese puppy! I couldn't figure out if it was a Pekingese, a Persian cat, a long-haired bunny or what!! LOLOL Now I have pictures of him where you can tell he definitely IS a puppy!! Here is TANK - upside down.. and right side up!!! (Even tho I've told you it's a puppy be honest, would any of you been confused by this? LOL)
Isn't he cute?
