New Friends

Sirius meets Conner. :)

Sirius and Snow

Getting Sirius

This is Sirius Black dog. Diane (who fostered him) isn't holding him in place, she's petting him to try and get him to hold still and look pretty for a photo.

This is "down" (which comes after sit).

And this is for size...
(That's Betty, she runs the shelter, and she's a pretty tall lady.)

A few other action shots.
(Animal photos are hard! They never hold still.)

After a treat, on the way to "sit," and getting a treat.

This is Patsy. She moves fast.

Handsome Boy

I'm in love with Bodhi, a new friend's Great Dane. He's beautiful, gentle, and just all-in-all a good dog. It's obvious he doesn't get enough love or attention, though :o) :
And he'll have to learn about great swords if he's going to be around the SCA. :)

Otto the Cattle Dog

It's pet weekend on the Sea of Ks. This is Otto, one of the best dogs ever, and my bud. He kept my feet warm for part of the weekend.

And I spent another portion of my weekend under a pile like this, working on organizing:
