My Childrens Photos

I have not posted in a while so I wanted to get something posted so I am posting photos of my "kids".


Thatcher just loves the snow, he is content just laying out in the snow. After a while, with all the snow on him, he looks more like a sheep than a dog.


This is Preston, he just loves eating the leaves of the roses that one of my wife's friends gave to her.



This photo was a joke that I sent to Cindy Biles a clay sculptor that told me that one of my photos was an inspiration for one of her creations. She just finished a series of sculptures of people holding little dogs; not this size. Check out her blog Scroll down about half way downthe page to see the photo that inspired here. This is Cooper, Thatcher's brother. I tried to pick up Thatcher but he was too fast.

Thatcher Flys

This is my answer to photograph pioneer Eadweard Muybridge who proved that all of the horses hooves leave the ground at one point in its stride. This proves that my dog Thatcher flys. The way he runs his feet spend a lot of time in the air.



Thatcher is in the front here, as you can see that his older brother needs to have one foot on the ground.

The Caped Crusaders

This weekend my wife and I took a trip to Portsmouth, NH. I will post more photos this week. Keeping in the dog theme, here are two dogs that were being walking down the sidewalk. I immediately called them the,” Caped Crusaders”.

Snow Puppies

Here are my two dogs Cooper(left)and Thatcher playing out in the snow we had yesterday. Well, they took time out to mug it up for the camera.

Our New Son Cooper

We have a new addition to the family his name is Cooper. He is Thatcher's brother from a different litter.

Thatcher wants to Drive

Thatcher likes to look out the windshield but also likes to look out the back. I guess he can't decide if he likes coming or going.

FAMILY REUNION ON THANKSGIVING

We brought our dogs over to my sister-in-laws house who was hosting Thanksgiving. She has our dog Thatcher's brother, and sister by a different litter. They all share the same parents. Also there was our other dog Sophie...no blood relation.


Right to left; Sophie, Thatcher, Meridith-Thatcher's sister by a different litter, and Montecore-Thatcher's litter mate.

SOPHIE AND THATCHER AT THE BEACH

Charlestown, RI - Sophie and Thatcher enjoying the beach. This was Thatcher's first time in salt water.

DOG WITH HANDLE

We got this "handle" for Thatcher so we can pick him up when he falls and help him walk on the slippery floors.

NESTING MATERIAL

While my dog Thatcher was sleeping in the back yard a bird decided that his fur would make fine nesting material. He slept through the whole thing. The bird sent about five minutes plucking fur from him.

This is my first video post and I took it through two windows so the quality may bit be the best but you get the main idea.

THATCHER ON PHOTO TRIP

This is one of my dogs Thatcher. We were out taking photos while my wife took Sophie our other dog to meet a friend and her dog, they spent a nice day at the Puppy Park. We had a nice day roaming Western Massachusetts looking for the elusive photo opportunity.
A good day was had by all.

WAITING FOR HIS MASTER

Stonington, CT - This dog is patiently waiting for his master to come out of the coffee shop.

My wife cannot resist a dog that needs petting.

WHITE NEW YEARS

This photo was taken out my backdoor today, New Years Day. My two dogs Sophie and Thatcher just love the snow, especially Sophie.


Sophie the Snow Doggie

DOG PADDLE

Litchfield, CT - I was passing through Litchfield yesterday and I stopped at the Bantam River just long enough to catch this girl taking a relaxing paddle with her dog.

JUMPIN' PUP

We met my wife's sister at the dog park in Southbury CT Saturday. We had our two dogs, Sophie and Thatcher. My sister-in-law and he boyfriend brought their dog Montecore, Thatcher's brother. While we were there I saw this dog across the park jumping high in the air for a Fisbee. He are a few photos of him taken from afar.

RABIES CLINIC

Granville MA - Today we brought Thatcher to the Annual Rabies Clinic to get his first rabies shot; he said it wasn't too bad. Here he is with the vet.

PUPPY PARK

Granby, CT - We brought our two dogs to the Granby Dog Park and they had a great time. There are dog parks in the city but they are just starting to come to smaller cities. Up until now we just walked our dogs in the woods but they like to interact with the other dogs. Here the dogs are playing "Follow the Leader".



Every time a new dog comes into the park a greeting committee forms.


Here is our new dog Thatcher. He likes people more than dogs.


Always remember to pick up your dogs poop!


Here is a regular at the park, "Kramer" the Labradoodle.

MY GIRLS ON HILL

I got lazy today and didn't feel like looking anything up so I am posting photos of my "girls". We were out walking a last week and I snapped a photo of them standing on top of a steep hill.

ZOE WITH THE DARK GOGGLES ON

Collinsville, CT - Last Saturday we took a trip over to Collinsville and came upon Zoe. She was wearing goggles because she is a motorcycle dog, well a motor scooter. We were told she likes to ride the open road with the wind in her fur, tucked nicely in her little carrying bag.

CANINE CUPBOARD

Portsmouth, NH - I told you this is a very dog friendly town. This is a dog treat bakery. My wife and I stepped in to see what is was all about and it was full of people and dogs buying these fancy treats.
