Heading home with my hoops.... by judithg

Heading home with my hoops....

I haven't deliberately been favouring the cats over Monty the dog (though he is bottom of the pack) but he is just such a pain to photograph (and in fact 'features' in many of my photos but not in a good way - in an 'I'll bark till you put that away and pull on the lead just when you're taking the shot' kind of a way). But I do head out on all sorts of different walks because of him so he's also responsible for me seeing lots of new places. Given a choice though he would go to the park everyday and he would chase his yellow hoops for hours and hours. I've tried for ages to get a photo of him carrying them both home (self taught) but as soon as I take the camera out of my pocket he puts them down. I took this by letting him go ahead and then leaning over the top of him and shooting blind - and now I have no idea how he sees where he's going!
ha! fabulous shot! soooooo funny! a fav... for my "bad day" when i need to lol!

That's super - I had to take time out and show it to my wife!

Oh this is love! Thank you for your comment. Our Claudia was a beautiful 14 1/2 year old golden retriever! I can see that you share my love of animals!

This is so awesome. What a funny shot, the fact that you shot blind and he clearly walks blind with them. Cracked me up/
January 19th, 2011  
ha ha this is a classic - how DOES he see where he's going?
January 19th, 2011  
Excellent shot - what a comedian!
January 19th, 2011  
Love it. Dogs can be such clowns!

@parisouailleurs @ellida @poochpottery @joannemed @helenmoss @islawight Thanks for your comments and glad he made you smile. We have fun walking through the town like this though I often forget and wonder why everybody is laughing at us! He sees by putting his chin down and peering over the top - must be uncomfortable but he only puts them down at crossings and picks them up again when he hears the beeps.

@mole Completely mad! - He's a tri-colour cocker - is yours a cavalier?
January 19th, 2011  
love this - so funny, and the dog taking it so seriously.
January 20th, 2011  
Love it! Especially after meeting Monty the other day - he is nuts!

This is fantastic. Re: the stubbornness (and genius way of carrying his hoops), seems like he's learned a thing or two from the cats : )
