I was out on the beach the other day, doing what I love – photographing dogs at play. And I came across this lovely hound.

I think it’s a Deerhound, but I’m not entirely sure. He has that characteristic look, but he seems a bit smaller and his fur is a little longer than usual. It’s those subtle differences that often fascinate me! I wish I could have asked the owner – she was “mia” (missing in action!), probably enjoying the beach somewhere else.

You know those moments when you just see something and it stops you in your tracks? That happened to me the other day. I was out for a stroll with my dog, when I spotted this absolutely stunning Golden Retriever. She had some beautiful, silver dusting around her muzzle and face. I just thought she looked… well, experienced. You know, a wise old soul.

Pip or Peep (I should have asked how Pip/Peep is spelled) is a Border Collie and he only has 3 legs.

He plays, he runs after the ball and sometimes, he even catches the ball. He runs and plays with other dogs.

This Doberman had to wear the ‘cone of shame’. She didn’t have any surgery, but it was to teach her to not scratch behind her right ear.

They checked with the vet if there was any infection. No problem there, it looks like it was only a bad habit.

This Border Collie is NOT guarding the Land Rover. Not once did s/he bark.

Often dogs, in cars, will show courage and bark at people that are close to the car, especially if people walk by with their own dog, like I did. I circled (almost) the car, front, back and side. The Border Collie kept on looking at me, but not a peep, not a bark.

This dog went into the water, but on the way out of the water, he would jump over every wave.

I don’t know if he was avoiding the waves or if he was playing with the waves.

Georgia is a fake!

Georgia was supposed to be a Labradoodle and her owners paid the full price for a Labradoodle.

Lucky is a very small Yorkshire Terrier that is afraid of everything. He’s even afraid of his own shadow and that’s not a figure of speech.

It’s quite unusual for dogs to meet and immediately go nose to nose. They will usually go around each other, which is the non-threatening way of meeting each other. Then they sniff each other’s butt, just like the white dog is doing.

Today, Sunday March 9th, in most of North America is the change from standard time to the daylight saving time.

The problem is that my camera didn’t change the clock forward by 1 hour. I looked at the clock settings and where’s the setting for the daylight saving time on the om-1 mark 2? It’s definitely not obvious!
