Sadie's fun and the neighbor's dismay!

Sadie and mom were outside enjoying our brisk day with me.
Sadie had fun but I think the neighbor dog was sad he couldn't join in.

Those are great shots, Frog. But I especially like the last two! Very cute.

Thank you, schrack. Wife took middle 3. I just handed her the camera on aperture but should have picked a wider one so the action would be more frozen.

Frog, that is a real nice series of photos. I like the last two best also and think the last shot just makes the series, Jeff

Hi Frog...I agree that the last 2 are awesome...but have to throw in #3 since I love seeing animal acrobatics. He/she sure can jump!!!!
Both of you did a great job capturing these photos.

Hate to be a copy cat but I'm with the other in that the last two are the real jewels in this post. Love how both dogs expressions are reflecting their moods.

Thank you, Jeff and Ken.
We were just out and I was snapping grab shots of my wife as she picked the last of the bean harvest and then we started playing with Sadie. The neighbors dog...less than a year old used to bark at me when I was out in the yard but now that we have Sadie he wants to come under the fence to play, too. Fortunately he'd have to do a lot of digging to accomplish that as he is a big boy. I've been wanting to get a shot of him looking so sad with his head under the fence and finally got it. Going to give a print to the neighbor.

Sometimes I have to remember to just shoot for fun and not worry about all the quality stuff. Aren't the old family photos, which these will be someday, the ones that we want to save first in case of flood or fire?

The last two are wonderful doggie portraits! I think with a little more digging under that fence, they will be playing together. - TF

If Sadie drops that Gas Canister we could all be in trouble!
Very enjoyable Frog

Thanks Old Clicker and Overbeyond.
I hadn't even noticed that about the propane tank, OB.
I knew she would jump for that frisbee thing but didn't realize how high she was jumping until I saw that pic.
I should also say that the first three taken by my wife would have been better but she has palsied hands. There's only so much vr can do.
