Penny and friend, October 27, 2014
I'm hope the friend will email her name to me so I can include it here.
Bandit with Jim, October 3, 2014
Rain was starting to fall when I encountered these two and asked for a photo op, which Jim graciously granted.
Nero with Frank, July 16, 2014
Nero is an eight year old Norwegian elk hound that has made his home with Frank ever since he was a little puppy. Frank says he is very protective, but I got to say hello to this beautiful dog! And he jumped right up on the bench and "smiled" for the camera. According to Frank, jumping on the bench for a little rest stop is Nero's habit as they walk the trails.
Jovi has her eye on something.
I couldn't resist this one. The look on her face is just too cute.
Jovi with Corrine, June 27, 2014
Jovi is an adorable young pup, only three months old and just learning all the things dogs need to know. She was walking in the park with her person Corrine. You can see Corrine and her beloved beagle Tommy if you scroll down a ways in the gallery. Tommy is gone now, but not forgotten and still (and forever) very much loved.
Athena with Noemy, May 20, 2014
Athena has a bad back, but she loves her walk in the park with her people and sister dog Bella.
Athena is also good at posing for her photo op.
Wicket with Howard, May 12, 2014
Wicket "belongs" to Howard's sister, but since Howard is retired, the lucky pup gets two walks every day and plenty of attention from his "Uncle Howard."
Curtis with Chuck, May 1, 2014
Mutual admiration!
Sprocket with Brittany, April 11, 2014
Brittany is a friend of Sprocket's person, so she claims to be Aunt Brittany to the handsome Jack Russell mix. According to the girls, some people think Sprocket looks like the dog in Target ads.
Bailey with Dannette, April 11, 2014
Bailey is a very friendly 10 week old cockapoo, just learning to walk in the park and become socialized with other dogs and people. I don't think socialization will be a problem for Bailey because he is a very friendly little pup who repeatedly walked over to me and put his front paws up on my leg. I think he was saying, "Pick me up please!"
Champ with Ashley, April 11, 2014
Champ is a young boxer, only four months old. He was walking in the park with Ashley and her friend Alise. Ashley said he needs to learn not to jump on people, but he is already pretty well-behaved for a young pup, and how could anyone resist that handsome face anyway?
Rebel with Gary, April 9, 2014
Rebel is an English springer spaniel from England! According to Gary, he was a field trial dog, but his tendency to be a bit of a rebel got in the way of his training. Rebel will soon move back to Dubois, PA with his people, so I'm glad I got his photo for my gallery today. Isn't he a handsome fellow?
Louie with Beverly
Louie is a three year old rescue dog that just came to his "forever home" with Beverly yesterday. I could tell he loves her already. At my request, she sat on the park bench for the photo op, and he put his paws up so she would lift him into her arms.
Bailey with Ron, April 8, 2014
Bailey, an adorable, alert, and photogenic maltese, enjoys daily walks in the park with his person Ron. When I introduced myself and asked for a photo op, he was agreeable. Thanks, Bailey...and Ron too. It was nice to meet you this morning.
Cobra with Jack, April 4, 2014
When Jack told me his dog's name is Cobra, I said, "Why?" Apparently it goes back to when he was a puppy. He would lay stretched flat out on the floor, making him look like a cobra. (I hope I got this story right. I was so taken by his amazing eyes, beautiful coat, and friendly demeanor, that I wasn't paying full attention to the details.)
Scooter with Hank, April 3, 2014
Love those photogenic smiles! Scooter is a three-year-old springer spaniel, and she was happy to pose for a portrait.
Athena...
...is a nine-year-old with a bad back who still enjoys her walks in the park.
