Home, sweet home...

Back from vacation. It was fun, but really, really slow. I didn't have the dogs, husband, photo- video- cameras, no internet connection or a computer and to finish the list I didn't need to cook or clean. It is a strange life when you suddenly got so much free time and you really have no clue what to do with it, so you just adapt to a slow-motion life.

So when I came back I really got a speed shock, everything felt kind of unreal and I was almost giddy for the first couple of days, especially with those barking dogs spinning around you and all the stuff that needed to be done. Still not ready to go back to dog training classes and the dogs have probably forgotten everything already, he-he.

Here is one of Stanley's latest clips. A bit slow, but I think he is just too cute! :)

Hunters

Well, I took our new camera to test it under "field" conditions. While I was a "bit" distracted with the new toy the dogs went into hunting mode. I hope all creatures was hidden well and nobody died out there just because I was playing with this silly camera. |video|

The picture below is my favorite of the month :)

Do these dogs look happy?

When we were at the beach they played like mad and looked soooo happy. At some point when they slowed down a bit I thought it would be great to take their picture (I don't have many nice pictures of them together). So I said the magic word "stay" and they did, but they kept turning their heads like owls and since I wanted to have both their eyes on the picture, not only the ears. I told them "look at me" and after a few attempts they started to sort of look in my direction. Click! - the picture of my happy dogs was taken, but Ouch! Look at this photo! What happened? Do these dogs look happy? Why such stiff and depressed faces?

Of course it was entirely my fault! I did torture them by making them stay still on the beach for a whole minute or so! How cruel is that? Of course they immediately got the happy , expressions back after I released them from this agony and shot off like bullets.

Well, I still want to hope that one day, some year, I'll get my nice, happy and perfect picture of them together.
