This week’s theme is feets, and I decided to show another of Maigee’s favorite tasks (well part of a task). She does paws up either on my lap or on my stomach for a variety of tasks. She also does it when I want to give her a good scratch behind the ears without bending over. I thought it would be appropriate to show a picture of her paws in a paws up position for this week’s photo challenge.Read More →
The change in Maigee from off-duty to on-duty is incredible and never ceases to amaze me. Sure, she still has occasional moments when she messes up, but overall, her behavior is superb. She can be so serious and yet her tail is usually wagging as she loves her job. I thought a picture of her working would be appropriate to fit this week’s theme of “This is My Serious Face.” I took my camera along on a doctor appointment and snapped a shot of her waiting patiently under my chair. Her attention is off to the side, as she watches cars come and go fromRead More →
My sock collection has grown quite a bit since last year! The theme for this week’s dog photo challenge is “Favorite Toy,” which is perfect timing because one of Maigee’s favorite toys is socks and today is Crazy Sock Day! You can visit last year’s post to read a bit more about crazy sock day, or you can go to the Facebook event for the 3rd Annual Crazy Sock Day or like the Crazy Sock Day page. I first discovered Maigee’s love for socks after I brought her home. I would take my socks off and leave them on the floor and next thing IRead More →
This week’s theme was nearly as difficult, but for a very different reason than last week. The theme was to catch a picture of your dog napping. Though it sounds quite simple, it is difficult when you have a dog who pretty much wakes up any time you move. She has to be very sound asleep to not hear me moving around to get a picture of her, so I’m making due with the closest thing I could get, a picture of her seconds after she heard me grab the camera and woke up. Before this, she had her nose tucked neatly under her fluffyRead More →
I’m running behind on my photos for the week because I spent most of last week trying various Photoshop techniques to try to eliminate the creepy eyes that tend to show up when I take pictures of Maigee. I finally got a picture for this week’s theme, which is to take a portrait of your dog, but I’m really not happy with it.Read More →
Here is a bonus post of pictures because they don’t fit into this week’s photo challenge, but are just too cute not to share. I got some great action pictures with Maigee while we were out playing “snow ball.” I use a bright colored whiffle ball because it usually stays on top of the snow instead of sinking in, making it easier for her to find, and the bright color make it easier for me to follow as well. I put these in the order you might see watching Maigee and me play out in the snow. You can tell they aren’t quite in the orderRead More →
For 2013, I’m going to be participating in a 52 weeks of dogs photo challenge, which involves taking pictures of your dog each week. Though you can sort of make up or use the rules you want, I’ve decided that my challenge will be to take the picture during that week (no reusing old pictures), and trying to stick to the theme as closely as possible. I’m also going to try to use some of my photography skills throughout the year. This week’s theme is “This is My Dog,” and suggests taking a picture of your dog that “defines” your dog. I decided not toRead More →
