Brilliant action shot of Sarah. She looks so happy to be out Yep Leah, all weekends should have two Sundays. And the weeks should have no Mondays :D We need a day for photography and dogs.

I agree DA, he is very squish-able.

24/52 Ah the winter sunshine

Leah love the poker players with Collie "calling"

Love the mouse GV

A huge congratulations Clay. Brilliant effort

Ohhh Nova you poor mistreated soul. Mel your sooky la la looks like she is holding her breath in protest. :laugh: The stupid thing is, if you add dirt they are more than happy to get wet. Maybe there is a market for dirt smelling shampoo instead of floral smelling shampoo

A huge Happy Birthday Hank You have grown in to a very handsome dude, with the most cheeky grin. I know you would have had a great day

VM she was extremely photogenic and so full of fun.

My guys love the towel dry. They love winter only because they get to go out in the rain and then have a towel dry in front of the fire when they come in. Just imagine trying to dry one dog, while the other dog is pushing in under the towel trying to get their turn. You get as wet as they do. You now have to drape the towel over both dogs, get them to stand still and level, and rub as fast as you can. You must dry as much as you can, because the resultant zoomies and rolling on their beds can get messy if they are still wet. Thank God for a wash and wear breed.

I would hate to think how much drying Grizzly would require.

Oh CC your poor poor dogs, and they have very little long fluffy hair

Breeze is so not impressed. Bath time is more dramatic when you have a long fluffy coat

Absolutely gorgeous. A puddle of pugs :D

Baylee is so not impressed :laugh: They even get you when you are outside Drying off I may just roll and get dirty again, because this stuff stinks Oh God even visitors can give you a bath

Julie you are an amazing woman who has such endless passion and enthusiasm for all that you do. The MDBA and the awards are a wonderful credit to you and your small group of helpers.

Neko you are absolutely gorgeous

This is Baylee with Tigger. Tigger lasted for 11 and 1/2 years. He was Baylee's first toy when she came home as a 9 week old puppy (yes he was bigger than she was) and slept with her for her entire life. If Tigger was put in the toy box during a cleanup of toys, at bed time he was ceremoniously retrieved and taken up stairs to her bed, where he belonged. She would flea him every night on her bed. As you can see he was never destuffed but was suffering from small flea holes.

A huge Happy 15th Birthday to the very elegant Penny

I love your Brittanys and their colouring RV

20/52 Zeph jumping over a fallen tree trunk

It was well worth the effort to organise and man a breed stand. The dogs enjoyed the constant pats and attention. The stalls were a decent size. The humans enjoyed the shopping. The public got a lot out of it and enjoyed meeting all the different breeds, and asked lots of questions.

It does, doesn't it! Rottweiler....calm, calm, calm, calm...(I was starting to worry, bit like when you keep choosing all C's in a multiple choice). But then, Terrier X... let's just say, she rectified the lovely imbalance of calmness in the household. :laugh: You also notice how they balance each other, and when they are together how they complement and enable each other. Dee is more confident with Zeph around and Zeph has more prey drive when she is around. They are double trouble, hence why they get to do things individually as well.

Isn't it funny how so often their best side is their backside

I absolutely adore the second photo. The sharpness and the richness of colour make it stunning.
