Thanks Kirislin, JS, I just cant get a happy shot of CJ inside, he just always looks so sad. But outside is a different matter especailly if we are out and about he always looks like he is smiling!!

Ever get the feeling you are just talking to yourself ;)

So many fabulous photos here, I havent been in here for a long time so last night waded through about 15 pages to see all the more recent pics and it inspired me to have a little shoot today with my lot. Its so hot here and they are all looking a but lack lustre but we have a play anyway!! Heres some of the shots. Lacy Tully Cooper with the big sad eyes playing funny buggers with his ears! It is amazing how many people have beem insired by this thread to go out and buy the nifty 50, My OH got mine for me online it was only $99 and I am amazed at the pics it takes, it does take a little while to get used to the fact you cant zoom and also the focus depending on what setting your using but all i can say is play and have fun!!

Looks like they all had a ball!! Do you live in near the area you were camping at? Just curious as I have family in Bruthen and Bairnsdale and last time i visited we went to the camp ground at Corringle, dogs are allowed there and it is a great place with the beach etc although the dogs have to be leashed on the beach, there is the river as well not sure what it is called but on the other side you can see Marlow.

I love hearing all these storys, one of mine is a shocking jumper to say hello, drives me nuts. One just talks and kind of like she is telling me off for being gone for so long The oldest just kind of waits till all the other 3 have done thier thing and looks at me as if to say awww mum don't forget me and comes up to me whole body shaking tail going 100 miles an hour ;) The baby of the group like Fly has to have an offering to bring to me or OH as we walk in the door, its hilarious, even if im home and OH comes home he runs to find something to give him as soon as he hears the garage door go up, a few days ago he couldn't find anything laying close by so he ran to the toy box and all the toys are in the bottom and he couldn't reach he was going nuts trying to find something. They sure keep us entertained with thier antics!!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas, anyone doing anything special for new years eve?? Hope Santy was good to everyone and you all got some nice pressys. Apart from no time off over Xmas I still had a great time. So did the pups they were all spoilt rotten as usual!! Edited to add, hope everyones keeping cool today, i am for now but have to go to work at 4 Im dreading it so hot in the big green shed!! We went to kmart earlier and it was nice and cool there.

We had our old dog desexed at 8 due to he got prostate cancer, so they took out the tumour and desexed him at the same time. We didn't notice any change in his behaviour at all.

Well this thread is well on its way to becoming the biggest yet, it's not even the 1st and already we up to 5 pages Nice shots everyone!!

Sometimes I think it is good to have a dog that tests the boundries because it tests your skills as a handler and I think makes you a better dog owner. I have had a variety with my 4 they are all so different and each have pushed the boundries at some point one way or another. I think with me it keeps me on top of thier training and makes me not get complacent about thier behaviour and general obedience. Also you have probly found with having more than one it definatly changes the dynamics. With my lot the dynamics changed with each addition and it keep me on my toes with getting a good harmonious balance between the 4 of them and me as thier leader. Throw an OH in thier who isnt really interested in sticking with the training regime and it makes things interesting!! I think the secret to the "give and inch they take a mile" scenario is to nip it in the bud before it takes a hold. Also Erik is still young and learning the ropes so to speak. I say that about my youngest all the time he has definatly been more of a challenge than the other 3 but he is nearly 2 so I cant really use the "oh but he is still a puppy" line anymore.....

Pandii, when we did this particular challenge last year you could take a photo of anything you like, the idea is to challenge yourself to get a pic a day, it sounds easy but it is actually quite hard especailly if your not used to picking up the camera every day!! But I loved this one because you can shoot whatever you like!

Beautiful doggies beautiful shots!!

Love it TN, I hadnt seen any of those either, such good doggies and fabulous shots!!

Ahhhh well that explains it!! Thanks.

Hows that I think I did it right! I tried to make it a different color but it didnt work

Tully Jo with her favorite thing of all time another ball!! Relaxing in the arvo and the whole family

Hi guys, just thought Id add some photos from Christmas day, we had a lovely day and the doggies got so spoilt as always! Bronson decided he would lay near the stockings and keep the other dogs away, he stuck his nose in one and found a big raw hide bon bon RJ (DOLer) gets first Christmas day cuddles from Tully Jo Did someone say pressies!! Cooper with a raw hide star, he headed outside to eat it in peace!

Treats and lots of training!!

Awesome photos already and the month hasnt even started yet, Love the Jedi shots TN so cute. Iltby I just love shots but the 3rd leaf shot is awesome!! January was my favorite month last year so I will definatly have a good crack at a pic a day!! Look forward to everyones photos.

Oh Maws, you probly wont see this now till you get back, glad to hear you had a nice Chrissy even though you were away from home. No shower or proper toilet sounds gross but Im guessing it will be totally worth it for what you are doing!! Not sure why Coop looked sad in the photo, he seems to go all hang dog as soon as I bring the camera out indoors?? Its just like oh here we go again and yes they all got too many doggy pressys and were very spoilt and we all had a great day!! Look forward to hearing more of your adventures once you are back on line, thinking of you in the cold hope your staying warm!!

Lovley shots, your fur kids look like very willing subjects, fun times and lots of photos to come Im sure!!

great shots Shell, Zero is one very lucky doggy to have found you!! It sounds like you have a very special bond!!

Just beautiful, love little puddy cats!!

Thanks, yes I just had the light on and the flash on the camera (Nikon D80)

Christmas Eve at our place!! Im bloody sure the dogs know its Christmas :D
