A photo speaks a thousand words

But what if there are no photos?
Sadly after over a year of taking photos - and I do have LOTS of photos of beautiful dogs...
the camera has suddenly stopped working - I thought it was the battery but it isn't.
It doesn't whirl or click or beep - just silence which I suspect isn't good and means that these photos are it for a while.

Aren't they beautiful????!!!

Labalicious!

Today I had A LOT of labby love.  Not just ONE lab..

Or even TWO labs!

You can count them.. THREE..

Four - when will it end??

Okay I got to hang out with FIVE lovely, lovable, slightly nuts and very WET Labradors today -well, four wet ones and then there was Barney.  
He looks like a lab - he doesn't like the water and he doesn't like to fetch but he eats like a lab so he must be a lab!
The lab crew had friends of course....


But it really was a labalicious kind of day..

Not AGAIN!

I truly love my dog - she came from That'll Do Border Collie Rescue in Vancouver http://www.bcbordercollies.com/ and they work with you to make sure that the match is going to work for both the human and the furry one.  
Well it IS a great match and like I said I love her BUT
the first day she was with me she rolled in a dead seal.
The second day she rolled in a dead deer, 
the third day I don't even want to know.  
Now nine months in we average about twice a week.  
Basically anytime she is out of sight for more than 3 minutes I know someone is getting a bath later that day. 
What I don't understand is - Why only her?  
I mean I usually have between 8 and 12 dogs on the walk and her houndiness is usually the only one who comes back stinking.  
In a way that is a Good thing - better her than having to give a dog back at the end of the day " He had a GREAT day - sorry about the stink!" 
Regardless she's great and maybe she'll grow out of it??????


Since last week I've made two new friends.  This is Fido - he came for a visit from Vancouver ....
And had so much fun with HIS new friends that he's going to stay on the island in a forever home!

He had a great time out with the group and I'm hoping that we'll see more of him!
 
Today I also had Loula....
She is awesome- what a powerhouse!!! - tonnes of fun and up for anything - trouble is she is so fast all the other photos are just a blur of legs and tail - oh well!
 
And then I couldn't resist sharing this photo of Carrie and Barney!
Happy Fall Everyone!

Happy Monday!

Today was HOT - it was awesome!  And I figured that these dogs are TOUGH - they can take the heat!




So we went checked out the views because nothings beats a clear day on Quadra.  
Unfortunately the pups were only interested in having a contest to see who has the longest tongue!
Clancy is a pretty competitive guy!
Russell gave it his best shot
Really - is that the best you two can do?
You and me babe - bring it on!!!!
Just because Bailey had a blog spotlight doesn't mean she's the only star!!

And an honorary mention to Barn-Dog for being a good sport!
