Saturday Photo Hunt - SASSY

 When I first saw the photo hunt word I right away thought of our puppy Mika. She is definitely sassy! The lively and spirited sassy. But the trick is capturing her fun personality in a photo...in this one she was excavating in the sand, she still has some on her nose...

 A capture in the midst of her lizard hunting...

 ...she really knows how to relax too...

...all snuggled in the middle of all the pillows on the bed...

 ...and she enjoys a good boat ride ....she'd be sitting up on the back deck if allowed.

 ...another lizard hunt...

What? I was just going to play with him!

 ...awww, it's okay!

I know you've seen her before, but how can you not love that face?!!

Waiting - This Weeks Photo Hunt

Tucker ~ Camera Critters ~

This is just a few of the many pictures that I have of our soon to be 15 year old Aussie, Tucker. We try to take him with us as many places as we can. He loves to come along...

..the beach is a favorite...

You can see the smile on his face..

He loves his family too...

...of course in the family room I get to get up on the futon...the only furniture they allow me to get on...I'm so happy here...

Come on...it's time for a walk...

...then a nap...back on the futon...

...well almost! Sometimes those hind legs just don't make it up on the futon like they used to, ahh.... oh well.

okay, I'm near the snack cupboard...any snack?

...maybe if I get up and nudge it they'll get the hint...

In Sarasota we can bring our four legged friend to restaurants that have an outdoor seating area. We like to bring him as much as we can before the weather gets too hot for him.

could you say no to this face?

...off to Sarasota Bayfront Park...

I love it here, so many good smells...

...and a few friends to meet at breakfast...

...maybe some food will drop...

...I'm keeping my eye out for it...

bedtime again...

...of course I can sleep anywhere... ...but this is the best!

Camera Critters ~ Doggie Friends

We've had some doggie friends stay with us the past two weeks over Christmas while our friends were out of the country. They are often called our "god-dogs" they are like part of the family. Our dog will stay with them when we are out of town. It makes for a small house when you have three herding dogs around...err...underfoot! It is hard to get them all in one photos so...I used food!

Now Tucker is going to be 15 this May and he has been by himself (in the dog world) for a long time. He is used to these visitors though...


...but they do go through his toy basket and take out all his toys, and tear them up and leave the all over the house and yard...

Roxy has settled in just fine, she's the youngest, and the center of everyone's attention.

We were able to get the "old man" out of the house and take him with us to a restaurant. Ah...it's good to get some attention again.

Flash loves to watch the pool filter, and is sometime timid about walking past it to go outside. Then he sees a squirrel climbing the banana tree and he's over it and outside he goes.

Roxy will go anywhere, anytime and is always in your face as well as the other dog's face (which Tucker despises) but he tolerates it. She will also lay on you snuggle with you and listen to anything you say!

This is usually the way I can get a photo of all three when they are sleeping, and often in the same room near each other or us. Monday they will be back in their own home when the owner returns...

...and Tucker will have his futon back all to himself!

Take a look at more wonderful creatures at Camera Critters! Have fun checking them all out.

Sand Bar at Low Tide ~ Watery Wednesday

We were able to take our boat our on this beautiful Sunday. It was at low tide and you can see many of the sand bars at this time. Here was a family that anchored their boat right up on the sandbar.

This dog was having so much fun, I loved watching him run along the sand bar.

It has been a while since I've linked to Watery Wednesday, I thought you all might be a little tied of all my beach, sea birds, sunset photos. Now that I have something from the boat and a little different, I'm adding this to Watery Wednesday.

What'cha Doing? ~ Camera Critters ~

Our friends have two border collies, and we will watch them for them when they go out of town. We have an Australian Shepherd, so we are very familiar with the behavior of herding dogs. However...the house gets very small with three dogs in the house, let alone three herding dogs. Of course they have to be everywhere you are, they should call them "shadow" dogs.

Even when you are trying to use the bathroom...

...this is what you'll see...

...better remember to lock the door!

I am sharing them with Camera Critters this week. Please check it out to see more!

Tucker All Tucked In ~ Camera Critters

Looks like he was playing too much and fell asleep toy and all.

At 14 years old he can pretty much do as he pleases, even get on the couch (only in the den though)

Look at that face!

Poor thing, he has is so rough...

This is first time with this meme Camera Critters another one I have plenty of photos for!

You have got to check out Misty Dawn's place for more Camera Critters have a great weekend!
