Title: Snow joy
Post by: Randy Stout on December 14, 2016, 13:59:33

My four year old labradoodle Camira, just loves to blast through the snow.  She zooms around until she is so snow encrusted that it takes us half an hour to get all the snow balls out of her fur, but she is ready to go again right away!

My four year old dog Angel also loves to run and run and run, she will hardly walk anywhere if she can run instead. She also loves to jump. When she jumps up onto our bed, which is pretty, high she gives it another jump after landing just for fun. She can spring herself straight up onto a kitchen table effortlessly and land fixed to the spot.
When I saw your photograph I went outside with Angel and took some quick Jpegs of her running in our backyard before it became dark, just a few seconds work. No snow where we live here in Shannon New Zealand but plenty of lush green grass and bush/forest. Not a great photograph but a beautiful dog enjoying the thrill of being and feeling alive, that can't be denied.

Taken with a D810 and AF-S 28 - 70 mm 2.8 D. Cropped to about 15 to 20 % of original.

Silly: gratuitously silly.

Dave Hartman who is sometimes silly himself.

But what is love if nothing but gratuitous and often silly to those on the outside looking in?

Randy, she is a lovely dog and I do like your photograph of her.

Thanks for the comments.

Tony - your dog is full of life and enthusiasm.  I am sure Camira would love zooming about with her.  Logistics might be a bit of a problem however!

Cheers

Yes Randy, she is that. Unlike your average dog she sleeps very little during the day. She is always looking for something to do and always on the alert. They would be an interesting pair to see together but the possibly, as you said??

All the best.
