Dog Blog Post #530: I wish I could say that I carefully planned out the shot above - positioning the Lacrosse balls "just so", training Zachary to run cheerfully with a ball in his mouth, setting up an automatic triggering system that would sense him in exactly the right location and then capture the shot...
... but I didn't.
Today's Daily Dog Challenge was:
"38. Every dog knows that ______"
... and so I grabbed a couple of dogs, headed out back, and spent 10-15 minutes banging off pictures.
If every dog knows it, I figured I was bound to see an example of it.
And so we played fetched, stopped to examine the green and growing things, and played Obedience Dog.
Hah - fooled you, didn't I. No, that's not Zachary. That's actually Henry. No, he isn't good at it, but he loves to think he is, so every time I walk from hither-to-yon he prances merrily at my side, sitting when I stop, starting when I step, staring up at me lovingly, all the while waiting for his cookie. No, I have no idea why he enjoys it so much, but Henry is a bit of an enigma at times.
Oh, and I picked up a picture of the wall for Scavenge Challenge while I was out...
Three guesses what Zachary is chewing on |
... because every wall looks better with a golden sitting next to it, don't you think?
And then, late in the evening, I looked through my pile of photos and decided that...
"Every dog knows that a ball in the mouth is worth two on the lawn!"
At least we didn't have any losses like the other day...

... or get blown over by the wind!

I love all of those shots! Henry is really starting to get darker, at least to my eye. You have to love a good enigma! Zachary, I wonder if you'll ever meet something you love more than a Lacrosse ball.
a day filled with balls..perfection in the eyes of a golden!
You still had to be quick enough to catch it. Wonderful shots.
I am so impressed with your photography taking of your lovely Goldens. I find it hard to get Tucker to be still long enough sometimes to get a sharp photo. Puppies....what can I say.
Seeing your poochies makes me miss my Golden girl....especially outside shots. We did a lot of hikes and walks together.
lovin' the wind shot.
all your photos are wonderful!
My best shots are always the unplanned ones... trick is to never admit that ;) LOVE the butt shot!
