Dog Tired

Thereby Hangs A Tail

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Some weeks ago we were at a friend's place when their two dogs took a break, away from the noise and hubbub of a large gathering. They were indoors, but I had to get the camera out to shoot a scene of utter togetherness and tranquillity.

Check out the rules at
Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.

Fantastic photo. It's a dog's life!

They were still doing their job, though, keeping their eyes and ears locked on the fun.

Oh I know that look! Perfectly captured!

Don't you wish you could just loll about like that & sleep?
I expect the answer is *no*!

Pseudo said...

Oh, they look like such good friends.

I think I'd like to be out on the porch with them -- except it's triple-digit weather here. Horrid!

Doggies are precious!

Charming. Glad you could capture the moment. When go for my camera to capture on of Luckie's moments, she has invariably changed.

The truly must have been dog tired to sit still for that lovely picture, David. Milou is such a ham, I bring out the camera and he poses.

Those dogs are well played, well fed and well loved. It shows in fatigue.
