Bella is a 6 month old English Bulldog. She runs, she jumps (kind of), she bulldozes everything on her way. She will be the queen of destruction when she’ll grow up. For my benefit, she just shewed on an expensive leather couch and attacked a couple of toes, luckily not mine.

But right, now she’s about to crash and go to sleep. The …

Her nickname is “The Cookie Monster” (include the: The) which is often shortened to “The Cookie”. I forgot to write down her real name.

Some dogs have it and some dogs don’t.

Some dogs are born for agility competition, some dogs are not. The most obvious candidates for agility competitions are the Border Collies (they win the most often) and the Pitbulls. The Chinese Crested are not born for this kind of life.

This Chinese Crested wasn’t rushing during his agility race, to the great dismay of his owner …

Fuji, like most of the other cameras has a sensor self-cleaning mechanism. Since the only Fuji camera with IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) is the X-H1, the self-cleaning for the other cameras is done by creating static electricity on the sensor and stopping the static electricity and hoping that the dirt will get off the sensor.

This is an agility competition.

By now, most of the dogs in that agility understand that they have to go through those obstacles and their owners are happy when they go through them. If they rush through these obstacles, their owners are even happier.

What the dog doesn’t understand is the order of these obstacles. The order changes every time they run. In fact, the …

Some dogs do nothing the whole day: they wait, they sleep, they wait and wait… Dogs are hunters and therefore they are supposed to be patient and wait until the prey, the owner or the meal comes.

Some dogs have to work for a living, they are earn their meal. I’m talking about these service dogs for the blind, seizures… Some have to work rounding …

Here’s a dumb cat! Grey Tabby on a grey sidewalk, hoping that no mortal enemy will see him or her, before attacking us.

1. We saw him or her, in spite of flattening himself/herself on the grey sidewalk so we don’t notice him or her.
2. S/he doesn’t wear a collar.
3. S/he’s facing the danger instead of being smart and …

In agility competition, the dogs run in various categories, mostly according the weight/size of the dog and they raise the size of the obstacles according to the dog’s category.

The fastest dogs where the Border Collies and the Pitbulls. They are always the fastest. They get the speed because they are not too big or too small and they have the agility to make …

One of main reason, I bought into the Fujifilm system is that the “Kaizen”, the continuous quality improvements through the numerous firmware updates. Fujifilm does regular updates not only for for the cameras but also for the lenses, although less frequent for the lenses.

This is my dog, walking around, in the snow in Whistler, BC. His name is Dodoïte (pronounced: Dodo ïte). He’s a furry Basset Hound. He’s basically a Basset Hound with longer legs and in the forest, in the woods, in the mountains he becomes a “real dog”.

Normally, in town (I live in Vancouver, BC), he’s afraid of everything. Every …
