Tui. by happypat

Tui.

A great picture of Tui...I managed to keep her sitting down for a couple of minutes.....there is something about my camera which sends her absolutely berserk!
She gets so excited when I put it round my neck thinking I am taking her down to the river!

She says sorry but she should have had her eye wiped before she had her photo taken!!

Three good things:
1. We have been to the sports shop this morning & I bought Harry some lawn bowls for his birthday, always a struggle what to buy!
2. I have decided what colour I am going to paint the sitting room when the decorator comes, have been dithering for weeks!
3. The Royal Mail sorting office is open on a Saturday morning as we missed a delivery we had to sign for..I thought I might have to leave it until Tuesday as we are we are away Monday.
4. For being a good girl I am now going to take Tui a walk!!
Tui is obviously confused between your camera neck strap and her own lead !! Lovely photo -She looks so attentive or ready to spring on your command ! How old is she Pat ??

Great photo, she looks liker my dads old dog Bruce.

@beryl Well that is a very good theory Beryl except for the fact Tui has only ever been on a walk with a lead about twice in her 11 year life!! Always been on the farm & allowed to wander over a very large acreage we have never taken her for ''proper'' walks! She knows that camera means I am on the move!!!!

Tui would definitely associate the camera with 'walk' even if you had done it only once! A lovely portrait and hope you both enjoyed the walk!

Awww, she's beautiful. Lovely shot of her.
June 21st, 2013  
Attentiveness and anticipation--very good shot!

She looks a very loyal, obedient dog. No? Butter wouldn't melt!

@jesperani Thanks Jennifer she is a big softee but more fond of Harry than me!!
June 21st, 2013  
@mcmary Yes she knows we are ready for off soon that's why the ears are up!

@busylady No Judith...where did you get that idea !!! LOL !

Great portrait of the lovely old girl! You could always clone out the 'eye stuff' if you want to print her out.
June 21st, 2013  
She is a Labrador and as such regards the man of the family as top dog! Our retrievers did in spite of the fact I took them for walks, trained and fed them! You managed 4 GT's!
June 21st, 2013  
@maggiemae I did & you are right she thinks Harry is definitely top dog!! LOL!

I love her greying beard. Looks like a sweet dog and nice composition
June 21st, 2013  
Great shot... Love the low POV.
June 21st, 2013  
She looks as if she is ready to speak! What a lovely girl. I wonder what she would say? "Come on Mum!!! Let's go!!!!"?

Superb shot, I don't think people realise how difficult it is to get a good photo of Labradors because of how dark they are.
June 22nd, 2013  
She is just a little ham, that's it
June 22nd, 2013  
Such a sweetheart
June 22nd, 2013  
What a lovely shot of this beatuy. How come we have never seen her before on 365?
June 22nd, 2013  
@khirsch Oh she has been on now & again over the years Karin but perhaps not lately...thank you for all your recent comments!!
June 22nd, 2013

June 23rd, 2013  
She looks like a wonderful companion and friend. Very lovely dog.

Lovely portrait. I am a bocce guy, myself, and I imagine it isn't much different than lawn bowling.
June 24th, 2013
