The Rule Of Thirds.
My apologies in advance to Dean for the thread title..... :)

The COOLEST thing about this hobby is the great people I've had the chance to meet. One of them is Katie, our own ArpeggioAngel. Although she hangs her hat in sunny Florida, the company she works for is headquartered in Wisconsin, so she heads up to our frozen tundra once in a while.

The most recent occasion was this past weekend, so she and I got together for lunch on Saturday. Now, we're all familiar with her photography skills, so I was ecstatic when she agreed to follow me, with Bo in tow, to a local park to get some shots of him doing what he lives for....

Now, bear in mind that the temperature was 13 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm used to this kind of weather, but it was even annoying me. Katie was a trooper, and Bo, being genetically engineered to be in this kind of climate, didn't care.

(There are more photos coming, as these are the only .jpgs that weren't corrupted/truncated in the email intertubes.)

Thanks, Katie!!!!

regards,

Cool Dog!

He certainly looks like he's in doggy heaven. Just wondering, are we going to see any shots of you running along side? Only kidding.:)

Bo and I have come to an understanding, to wit: the one with opposable thumbs gets to throw the retrieving dummies, and the other one, well, retrieves them. :)

Good Lord, Steve!!! Are those thumbs, or did you hit some Eastern-European-owned deli in West Allis for some pickled pigs feet?

</obligatory Wisconsin humor> :)

Merlin's good for one 'fetch' per session. On the second toss, he looks at me as if to say, "oh, no... I'm not falling for that again."
 
Dale, I have to get some pictures of Cajun, so that you can see what a real working dog retrieves. None of those plastic dummies, ducks only (at least during the season, when we can, off season its all plastic.)
 
. . . nothing like Labrador spittle flying everywhere to truly appreciate the breed! :) Catching it in action AND frozen to the coat is even better.

We call that substance "Snool" which is drool and snot combined. Mostly to describe what's on my backseat windows most of the time.
