About This one is dedicated to Jan Hoffman's wife, Nancy. She at least appreciates my poor underappreciated, loveseat eating puppy, Kaylee.

Kaylee watched vainly while MarnyQ shot a series of excellent flying catches made by her Corgy, Darby. Then . . . it was Kaylee's turn. While she can do it . . . she just . . . well . . . she jumped . . . uhhhhhhhh . . . but here it seems she doesn't get the idea . . . the true idea . . . of catch. Since the toy hasn't been thrown . . . and since she's not looking at it . . . seems clear she MIGHT be missing the point of catch!!! But she doesn't miss the entusiasm of trying.

That's my Baby!!

Hmmmmm . . . apparently my wife relates to the "You can't replace the nut" comment . . . I suspect evil humor at MY expense! LoL!

Yes well, I recently stepped on and effectively crushed Skoot's walnut. The look of abject horror on his face was priceless. He actually MOPED! I've replaced the nut but it just isn't the same. I guess you can't replace true love... unless you're Beau; he's a fickle fickle fiend.

Enjoy your day!

Beks:

(confused look - scratching head - one eyebrow lifted in stunningly provocative and yet, alluring pose) . . . self-promo . . . you mean hardware store prom . . . ahhh . . . AHHHHH! . . . I get it! Sheeeesh Bek . . . 10 feet . . . yep . . . I've heard the rumours too! ;) I confess they're SLIGHTLY exaggerated . . . I was mentioning, in fact, the tree trimming tool on a pole from our hardware store!!! :P

What a jumper she is! Great action shot Doyle ~ I love how the toy is above her head and she seems to be ignoring it ~ lol!

This is why I miss having a dog. My cats don't get enthusiastic over toys. One's in love with a walnut, the other is involved in a messy love triangle with a dog leash and a candy wrapper. They do not jump, period. :)

Very cute shot. Kaylee is adorable.

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55244} 4/10/2007
What a jump! Kaylee is flying in the air:-) Amazing that she can do that with those tiny legs compared to her body. Such a sweet actionshot. The clarity is amazing when thinking about how difficult it is to photograph dogs on the move. Good tones as well.

Ball in hand?!!! Seems such a waste when you have two. Hands. Well, two b...oh yeah...one hand for the camera! Silly me!
Nice puppy.
cheers, Bek :^P

Well Thanks my politically correct friend. Have no fear, we BOTH love BOTH dogs . . . and just have a good time giving each other a hard time using them as our pawns in a chess like game of World Domination . . . well . . . Our world anyway!!! LoL!

Hi John!!

Let's see . . . you've asked a question . . .

Enthusiasm: Eye on dinner (sound familiar?), ball in hand (LoL - no comment!), half out of shot (intellectually you are pointing out to me that the hand is NOT the subject here), bicycle background (good eye to point out the reflected SPORT theme in the shot), dull subdued lighting (certainly the dull BG DID make the puppy 'pop' more)!!

WELL SEEN!!

Intensity: eye on the ball . . . ball in the air (Harrumpf . . . subtly pointing out that the location of the gaze or the ball really makes no difference what-so-ever), Attractive and colorful background (also seen in children's ball pits . . . but NOT often in gritty Pulitzer Prize winning War Journalism Photos - nice way to point out the lack of importance here), bright well balanced lighting (also found in a photo of a white square).

Which Do you prefer? LoL!

Thanks AJ!!! (Psssst. Thanks a LOT)! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Enthusiasm v. Intensity:

Enthusiasm: eye on dinner, ball in the hand (half out of shot), bicycle background, dull subdued lighting.

Intensity: eye on the ball, ball in the air, attractive and colourful background, bright well balanced lighting.

Now, which do you think I prefer?!

Thanks Jan!! Tell Nancy Kaylee needs all the support she can get. I knew about Nancy's support after the loveseat . . . which has grown to a couch and will likely soon be a Dodge Dart . . . but it WAS a loveseat . . . and she has the heart to try . . . REALLY try . . . uhhhhh . . . to please me! How hard can it be? LoL!

THANKS NANCY!!!!!

Doyle -- Nancy will enjoy this so much and see the hidden meaning of her own husband "just not getting it".! Oh, my. Frequently when I should sit, I jump, and the other way around, too.
I love this and thanks for the shout out to Nancy.
Nancy still talks about the loveseat.
--Best to you, Jan
