Agree & my next question also...cute pup! He's smaller then her hands! What kind of dog is it?
HI MattJono: But, not so big for the city! I have a friend in Canada who has a Portuguese Water dog. I was thinking of that; but, they've become a bit to "trendy". Cheers.

HI Jeff - that's adorable, and probably more practical than our little fellow, who is already making bids for world domination and tearing about the house and garden at 200 miles an hour (at 7 weeks and 2 days!). He has a novel way of stopping, which entails running straight into your legs, like being attacked by an atomic powder puff!As promised in my comment on Jono's images, here are a few of our puppy, who will be coming home in two weeks. Her ears have not yet fully popped up, but they will be huge when they do! M9 + 50mm Summilux ASPH:
She is a Toy Fox Terrier. We currently have one, a standard tri-color who is now ten years old. Little Izzy (short for Isabella) is an interesting cross between a tan and white and a tri-color, so her coloration is a bit unique. Here's our current Toy Fox Terrier, Astro (also a girl) with my daughter. M8.2 + 50mm Summilux ASPH at f/2:cute pup! He's smaller then her hands! What kind of dog is it?
Thanks, Jono. While small, these dogs are still true terriers, and have a lot of spirit! The neighborhood mice should be gravely concerned.HI Jeff - that's adorable, and probably more practical than our little fellow, who is already making bids for world domination and tearing about the house and garden at 200 miles an hour (at 7 weeks and 2 days!).

Thanks, Kurt, it's a personal favorite. The story behind it is that we were getting some family photos taken in a state park, and as always I had my M8 on hand to shoot scenery, etc. While the photographer was changing lenses, my daughter started talking to the dog about some treats she had hidden in her closed fist. I saw Astro reach her paw up and fired off a series of shots on Continuous mode and got this one just as the paw touched her hand. The whole thing lasted no more than 2-3 seconds.Jeff, I absolutely adore that last shot.
Lovely LeifThis morning, walking a bigger dog than your cuties. M8
Hi LeifDogs are very good at sorting things out, in my experience!
Our ideas of fairness and just/not just, don´t apply. Our Rulle thinks the world of himself as a male alfa or something. But; in the neighbourhood we have a very big and (close to serenity )calm dog who is something like a Russian Bear Dog/Hound. Anyway; Rulle met this guy for the first time five years ago, behaving very much like he owns the area (which he still thinks he does).
The Russian neighbour lifted his right front paw once, placed it (gently!) on Rulle´s neck once. Since then Rulle has looked the other way each time we see the guy. Language!
On the oter hand: On this large field we have here where dogs can run loose within safe borders, there is this little terrier thing. He will dominate every single dog around - and they all have a lot of fun.
They're lovely pictures Woody . . . but, from a grey damp UK at -4 I'm not sure that I can ever forgive you.Two days worth of posts, both from Mustique.
Kurt: Nice photos. They capture the wet, bone-chilling, cold quite well. The first shot of the river's my favorite. Cheers.Leif ... only another 10-12 weeks of snow?
We had a mild January thaw over the weekend that unfroze the river. But, temperatures this week should refreeze it.

Jono: Sounds like fun. Hopefully, your big dog won't squash him. Keep us apprised of his well-being with photos. Cheers.HI Matt
not so big indeed . . . . but I suspect not all that practical, I don't think you can leave them too easily, and they need a serious amount of exercise (we're exhausted already!). He looks a bit podgy, but in fact he's a streak of piss in a powder puff!
