Merry Moose

I wanted a celebratory photo to mark Moose’s graduation from advanced dog training yesterday, and I figured a shot in the jingle bell collar was better than the awkward graduation hats that are typically used for the occasion. He crushed his final exam, and today is all about relaxing and having fun after successfully completing over 40 weeks of training at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Congratulations Moose!

Hello Winter

After a mild November, December brought clouds, high winds and bitter cold temps. Today’s sunny blue skies brought some relief and made being outside tolerable for the first time in weeks. The break in the weather gave me an opportunity for an outdoor portrait in the beautiful winter sunshine. ☀️

Portrait Pros

Rocky and Ringo are both masters at posing for portraits, whether posing alone or as a team. I just can’t resist these shots when they are set up so perfectly for me. ❤️

Holiday Spirit with Ringo

Ringo and I had a fantastic training ride today. It was a bit too cold for a long walk outdoors, so I decided to take Ringo for some retail visits. We got into the holiday spirit at Lowe’s, where we were surrounded by Christmas trees, wreaths and enormous inflatables of The Grinch and Snoopy. From there, we finally made it through Petsmart for the first time, which is a huge win for Ringo. Ringo’s stellar performance continued with today’s photo in his signature pose peeking out the back window of my 2007 FJ Cruiser. ❤️
