Wordless Wednesday: Caption This #5

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Donna Black-Sword

Maybe this photo session left a bad taste in Micron’s mouth. Or instead, am I about to get clobbered with a snotful of canine hay fever? Honestly, I don’t recall anything particular going on when I took this shot. Truth be told, I was thinking more about the settings to get soft bokeh in the background and capturing a corner of the gate within the shot for atmosphere. I was a bit surprised to see this enigmatic canine expression when I downloaded the memory card. And of course, laughed out loud.

Because this is so Micron.

Any photo caption ideas?

Wordless Wednesday: Try to relax

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Donna Black-Sword

Good grief, Micron .

But this dog makes me smile. Sure, I could have done the obligatory setup with putting the TV remote and a can of brew in the shot. Or stuck a teddy bear under an armpit. Instead I love the purity of the shot. This is a fellow content with his life so far. We could all probably do with some Micron attitude.

I gotta get this dog a job.

Wordless Wednesday: Why we do this (Reason #1)

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Donna Black-Sword

Inga IV and Joseph

Joseph’s mom says this expression on Inga’s face is her this is my job and I have a purpose look. The lovely Inga takes her job very seriously, it seems. As her puppy raisers, we’re just bursting to full with pride.

She loves her job and just adores Joseph.

Good dog, Inga.

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Unbirthday to Jager

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Donna Black-Sword

We don’t know Jager’s birthday, having adopted him as an adult dog. He spent some time on the streets as an unwanted pup, then moved around foster homes with a rescue group. He didn’t make it to his forever home until two years old. Until then, survival was a big deal, not celebrating a birthday.

But now he’s part of our family and such a special dog deserves a special day, I think. March 12 is Happy Adoption Day for Jager. This week marks six years since he’s become a part of our lives.

Not a service dog in training, nor a therapy dog, Jager fills yet another role.

We’re stuck in traffic, nobody is going anywhere. I see in the rear view mirror that Jager is at the back window and wagging his tail furiously. In the SUV next to us, two children are waving at him. So I roll down the window and Jager sticks his noggin out with a open mouth doggie grin. The kids are leaning out, yelling Hi Doggie! I make eye contact with the dad who is smiling as well. Here we are stuck in traffic and everyone is having a happy moment.
