Excluding the human variety I find that I have included animals in my thematic photography posts 55 times in the last two years with dogs making up about half of these.
Nevertheless I propose to start with dogs again this week - dogs you may recognise, although not these shots.
 |
| Gem |
Gem, a street-wise black Lab mutt, recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge to join this Golden Retriever who had left her two years earlier.
 |
| Cody |
They left behind the pup that Cody saved who is now the oldest of a gang of three (Lily, another Golden Retriever and Gabby, a Yellow Labrador)
 |
| Scout (when he was younger) |
They were excited in 2011 when a strange beast invaded their domain.
 |
| Young steer - 2011 |
They were more used to barking at the more common invaders of their property.
 |
| Deer wondering what the noise was all about |
Cody was a keen fisherman but he never managed to catch one of these.
 |
| American Green Frog (Rana Clamitans) - 2009 |
Although there were lots of squirrels in the woods, this bold fellow preferred the Paint Creek Trail at Rochester.
It's much more colourful than his cousin they exported to Britain.
 |
| Grey Squirrel - 2014 |
Although I am not a lover of cats there is one in our village that 'talks' to me; I'm expected to reply and not go by without stroking her.
 |
| Tortoiseshell Cat - 2014 |
I could continue as I have 'shot' as many more species again.

Oh me too, me too. I adore all your dogs, and the others even the young steer, but oh my the last kitty cat, how perfect, it's like I know she's purr-fectly singing holiday songs already!
Ohhh
This was a meaningful post for me today.
I assisted an abused Cocker to the bridge yesterday, and sit loving my Golden who is having a bad day with her cancer. We'll have to face another trip soon.
Are pups, even ones we only know for a day, grip our hearts with a zillion tentacles.
Sigh...so sorry for releasing...
I loved your shots
Nice, sunny collection.
Great pics, Bob. I think we all like to showcase our animal friends, and we should!

I wouldn't dare go by that cat without talking to her. Nice to have pix of the dogs that have gone already.
Oh, I just love your dogs! Especially Scout! If you don't want them, I'll have one!1 ;)
And the deer and squirrels - a lovely collection of animals!
I knew I could count on you Bob for some wonderful dog photos.
Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.
