Are you coming or what?

 
Here is Beau at Thetis Lake today. He was a bit impatient with me because I just couldn't keep up with him.

Stuck

 
Beau is looking pretty mellow here, but he's actually stuck. He gets around pretty well, and since he's been going to the dog park everyday he has really learned a lot about coordination from the other dogs, but sometimes he's still a puppy, getting himself in a pickle.

A Boy and his Dog #3


More from the same photo shoot. It's always interesting to see what pictures Will likes...this was one of his favorites. I like that it tells a story and shows what good buddies the two of them are.

A boy and his dog #2


Here is a silhouette of Beau and Will at Macaulay Point the other day. We spent a couple of hours exploring, actually Will and Beau explored and I followed taking photos. So there will be a few more photos from our wonderful sunny, warm, January afternoon at the beach and on the dock at the boat launch. Will is such a sport about me taking pictures...he really deserves an award for patience and cooperation!!!!

On the dock


Here is Beau running towards Will on the dock at Macaulay Point. Will is just a blur in the background. I was going for a very soft old fashioned feel to the photo. Don't you just love Beau's ears!!!

Beau looking like he is on steriods


Here is Beau sitting beside a coffee lid that he swiped off Michael's coffee cup. He's looking pretty buff in this photo but it is exaggerated by the angle of the camera. He's not a roly poly puppy.

Log dog


Here is Beau playing amongst the logs at the beach. It looks like he's in the water but he does his best to keep out of the water.....I'm sure that will change.

Is this a good sit?


JUST A DOG From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog." Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.

If you, too, think its "Just a dog," you will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend," "Just a sunrise," or Just a promise." Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

For me and folks like me, it's not "Just a dog." It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that SOMEDAY people can understand it's not "Just a dog." It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "Just a man or women."

So the next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog," smile, because they "Just Don't Understand.
