Today's Pup Portrait at Lake Lavon!

Pup Portrait for today!

Gorgie biting the water!

A Gorgeous Sixth Year Movie Trailer

Gorgie's Birthday Video coming soon!

Gorgie's birthday is coming up, and I'm going through her past years accomplishments for her yearly video.  I must say the most thrilling of them all is being part of the IFCS World Agility Team.  I haven't looked at these photos since, so I started editing them and wanted to post this one of our team.  Thanks Kevin Burnette for being the best handler and friend to her.

Of course Gorgie receiving her Agility Dog Championship title was a thrill, but next on the list was how well she did in the South Central Regionals round one tournament classes the very next weekend.  First place in Grand Prix and second place in Steeplechase... what a way to end her (or mine) agility for the year.  I hope to be able to run again next year.  So you folks that always say "hug your dogs!" don't forget to hug each other... you just never know when it's "your" last time to run with your dog.

Today's Pup Portrait at Lake Lavon!

The dead tree makes a different type of background than just the lake.  Gorgie was so tired from playing, she just flopped herself down for the photo shoot.

YEE HAW!  Gorgie biting the water.  She likes to run into the water to make a splash and then bite it.

First Day of School!

Handsome and Gorgeous first day of school!  Going to Dogwarts!

Flight of Many Colors!

I took this photo yesterday at Lake Lavon.  I changed it up by adding color to the clouds.  It really turned out great.

Lord Bumble

Dear Lord Bumble,

I didn't have a hole knocked threw the wall and add a pet door for you to sit on the other side of the kitchen window to let me know you want to be let in! Plus, I would like to finish breakfast please.

Sincerely, 

your management

Today's Pup Portrait at Lake Lavon!

Just another day at the lake with beautiful weather!  Sheep herding later this evening!

Today's Pup Portrait at Lake Lavon!

Another beautiful day at Lake Lavon.  The temperature again was remarkable for the Summer of Texas.  It showed 80 degrees out!!!  No winds today, so it was a quiet walk down the shore line with the pups.  Well, as quiet as Gorgie will let it be!  She continually splashes the water up and barks/bites it.  Below is a photo of her running into the water to make a splash to bite.  There is no ball around!  She knows how to self entertain!

Lake Lavon with a LOLkatz

Took the pups out to Lake Lavon.  It was really nice weather today... probably in the high eighties when we were out there.  Love that this lake is only ten minutes from my house.

A Handsome and Gorgeous Sunrise

My boy Handsome... as the sun was rising behind him this morning.

The sun hasn't quite come over the trees when I took this shot of Gorgeous.  Lots of dew on the ground this morning along with cool temperatures in the mid 60's.

Here are the three lazy farts that refuse to partake in the sunrise photo shoot this morning.  They claim that Heaven forbids them to get their paws wet! 

Lake Lavon and the Egret

I took this picture at the lake today. I was going to add a quote to it, but thought not too. Let others be swept away as I did looking at this bird in flight. I must say the first word that came to mind as I was watching him soar through the sky was freedom. It was a nice feeling.

 Another shot of the egret.

Lake Lavon with the pups!

I took the pups to Lake Lavon today!  They haven't been to this spot since last year.  Nice to see the lake up to these rocks.  I'm sure in about a month, the lake will be too far away to get another shot on the rocks.

Nice to have a place to go for the pups to run around in the Summer of Texas.

 Both of them are waiting for me to come down the hill to play.

Willabee

This photo turned out so great.  I took it this morning as Willabee was sunning himself from the window ledge.  He is so photographic.

Catz

Here are my cats, Bumble and Willabee, waiting patiently on the counter to be fed.  Luckily I had my camera and took this shot as Willabee's eyes are very captivating.

Babies!

At the end of May, there was a nest of birds near the top of my patio.  Here's a few photos of the babies growing up.

 This photo shows the last baby to leave the nest.

 

Look who I found peeping around the corner!

Gorgeous, that's right!
