Dogs on film


On Tuesday,even Anthony's best photographs were not very good.

On Wednesday Anthony redeemed himself.

Every single photograph was good enough to put in the blog.

Some didn't even need to be trimmed.

Here they are.

Diesel met Fudge in the rain sodden park.

Fudge doesn't swim.

Though he does like to go in the water.

He doesn't like to go too far out.

This is as far as he gets.

Diesel tries to give Fudge swimming lessons.

But Fudge won't go any further.

The lake gets a lot deeper just beyond where Fudge is standing.

Some human help was needed.

The amphibious Special Biscuit Service were deployed.

Despite their best efforts Fudge still did not swim.

The boys had trouble spotting all the amphibious biscuits.

They have offered a reward to anyone who helps them locate more amphibious biscuits.

If you can point out any more biscuits in these pictures,the boys will give you half.

Diesel and Fudge couldn't find anymore amphibious biscuits in the lake.

They decided to search on dry land.

It is best to look where you are going when searching for amphibious biscuits.

It is even better to look in their likely hiding places.

It is important to remember your Green Cross Code when hunting for amphibious biscuits.

Unless you spot an amphibious biscuit making a run for it.

In which case it is a good idea to catch them in a pincer movement.

Then the amphibious biscuits will be surrounded.

The boys move in to finish off the amphibious biscuit.

But biscuits can be dangerous when cornered.

Fudge was heavily counterattacked by the bitter ender.

Diesel tried a rearguard action.

Fudge was in full retreat.

With Diesel rushing to his aid.

Finally the boys defeated the amphibious biscuits.

Victory!


But what is that in the sky above them?

Is it a passing Kestrel.......or an incoming wave of crack airborne biscuits.

Crackers!

It's all out of focus


On Tuesday Anthony forgot how to use his camera.

This is Bonney.

Diesel likes Bonney a lot.

Bonney is not alowed to play with other dogs because she bites.

Which says something about Diesel's taste in women.

This would have been a really nice picture of Fudge if it was in focus and in frame.

This picture of Diesel and Jake was in frame but out of focus.

Apparently,you can't have everything.

This picture was in focus but out of frame.

One out of two ain't bad.

Yet another wasted opportunity.

That is more like it.

Fudge has a problem.

Whenever he stops running,his head falls down.

See.

Run to the hills,run for your ball


The boys were in the park on Monday

Fudge showed Taffy how much easier life is with long legs.

Diesel showed Fudge how much easier life is with a head.

Fudge thinks his head is a little bit heavy for his neck.

Diesel soon took his mind off that.

Vizsla on The storm


Sunday was Stormy.

At least it was if Anthony's hazy memory isn't failing him again.

Storm is a lovely young Weimaraner boy.

Diesel rather liked him.

He rather liked Diesel too.

Diesel also likes pointing.

...and pointing.

....and pointing

.....and pointing.

......and,now he's just showing off.

This was a little strange.

This rather vulgar vehicle stopped briefly in the park.

The doors opened and cameras flashed.

Then the doors closed and it drove off.

Not again!

You'll sometimes walk alone


Saturday,we think this was Saturday,was hot and sunny.

There can't have been anyone in the park if all Diesel did was pose for pictures.

Diesel looked hot and bored.

Diesel couldn't see any of his friends.

At least he got some pointing done.

Friday I'm in love


It's probably Friday but it's not five forty five and it is definitely not Crackerjack.

It is however,Taffy and Sally....

..... and Lilly and Fudge.

With a special guest appearance by The Lake.


Diesel and Anthony can't remember who this handsome chap is,they only ever met him once.

They think he had a distinguished name like Homer,but they have drunk lots of beer since meeting him so that might not be true.

Anthony rather liked this pretty little bitch.

Diesel preferred the puppy.

He'll be gone after November


If that was Wednesday,this must be Thursday.

Diesel practiced his pointing on the squirrels.

Is it front or back for fur?

Diesel would like a bit of fur on the side.

"Is the camera still rolling?"

This is not Dylan.

In fact Anthony is not quite sure who this is.

Not because he doesn't know.

It has just been a long time since this picture was taken....erm,on Thursday.

Possibly.

Anyway,he thinks this is Storm or Sky or Shadow or possibly Breeze.

Which is quite embarrassing because they used to walk with this particular pack quite a lot.

But that was a long time ago,possibly.

That makes Anthony think this is Dusty,who was usually part of the same pack.

If this is who Anthony thinks this is then this is a sad picture.

Dusty started to have epileptic fits.

Anthony thinks Dusty started the long sleep at the start of November.

Diesel and Anthony will miss Dusty and so will many others.
