Dancing in the Snow
I know this is not a great quality shot, but I had such an enthusiastic subject. I took this last night with only the backdoor spotlight and my point and shoot camera (Olympus Stylus 770SW). My bouviers love snow, especially when it's fresh. Caught him midleap in his celebration of the weather.

1. I love that shot

I'm going to counter with some of my cats last year. Millie had a great time in the unusual California snow, Grayson just wanted to keep his feet dry.

3. Beautiful cats and nice photos, too!
The first time I put my cat in the snow, she froze in horror. Then she kept lifting one paw, shaking it, then the next. Finally she bolted for the door, ears down flat, and howled until I let her in.

2. Awww makes it worth the hassle
of snow to watch it be enjoyed so much. Hard shot to catch but you did a great job of catching it.


:hi: Livvy. Hey if you happen to see Sharon in life give her a hug from me and tell her I am thinking of her, the family and her mom. It is hard to watch from a far and not be able to help.

4. I will.
I haven't talked to her in a while, but we've exchanged a couple of emails. It's definitely a hard time for her.

I got lucky with the picture. It's really hard to get moving targets. I usually end up with a bit of tail or a lovely backend shot.

5. Booooo
...vier! Goofy boovie! Gotta be goofy to like snow. :silly:

He's lookin' good! Good conformation ... back legs are strong and parallel without any trace of cow-hockedness. Not overweight and a nice, deep chest and good lookin' shoulder muscles. Lovely puppy!

Boovies are fun! :hi:

6. Why thank you, Tahiti!
He has a beautiful, big Bouvier head, and a heart to match. He just came off a diet. He had gotten pretty pudgy when he retired from the ring, sired some pups, and got a posterior adjustment. He's turning 8 in April. I'm really glad I finally got serious about trimming down his weight. I want him to stick around for a long, healthy while.

Boovies are big fun! :hi:
