Rock Creek KC - Bel Alton, MD

Just a few choice images to share!

Let’s start with a Mali boy - first getting out of the sun and then seeking out a nice pool.

Then we have a Groen boy getting a bath.

Finally, we have my own dog, Thai.  She earned a point today while be handled by Jo Ann Charnik

Works of Wonder!

Often during my trips to various dog events [and even those homo sapien events] I run into a great vendor. Truthfully, I am NOT a arts and crafts person but every once in a while I find an artist who really has strong work.

Works of Wonder is one of those artists.  The art pieces are vibrant, colorful, and a bit whimsical. The first thing that popped into my head was that these pieces would make great and unique gifts or awards for a Specialty. Now, if you are looking for an exact breed representation, don’t look here. If you are looking for a 3D version of a watercolor painting [my opine only!], than this is it.

Her website is http://www.worksofwonder.biz Make sure you use the dot biz and not dot com

And a few shots of her work.

More pics from the Virginia Kennel Club show

Smiling Tervuren and handler. Very typical of the Belgian breed.

Lucas, the Smooth Collie, in the puppy class

Saluki [or was it a Borzoi] getting a rest before entering the ring.

Miss Kathy with her new OE boy [Best of Winners!]

Thai, in the 12-18 month class.

Catherine Zeta Jones, the Tervuren in Open.

Another Terv competitor.

And another Terv. Love the coat color!

“I’m not really a show dog….”

Don’t forget us little guys! A Chihuahua and an Affenpinscher [I believe].

Virginia Kennel Club Show - Mechanicsville, VA

Went to the VKC show to see one of my dogs and ended up shooting more photos than I expected.

A small sampling:

What the heck? Its like a puppy, right?

I rarely get the chance, but I decided to shoot some pictures of furless babies…yes, an actual REAL baby.

I’m not sure I quite understand the “how” but I get the “what”… I think.

The Only Phone better than the iPhone

The NEW iPhone - and at half the cost! If this doesn’t make everyone drop their old cell phones to pick this new one up, I’m not sure what would. And this price is just outrageous. That’s some down and dirty business. The price? $199 - that’s much cheaper than an iPod Touch or an iPod Classic.

Cool Book!

There are a lot of cool books out there but I thought this was especially cool

Bike, oh, Bike

Took some time to today to snap a few photos of my friend Steve’s bike. We have a few folks at the office who have Harley’s and I’ve taken the opportunity to shoot two of the three.

Disc Doggin’ it this weekend !

This weekend, I’m taking two of the girls to a fun disc dog event. Its been over a year and a half since I was able to participate in this type of event. Interested? Try going to www.skyhoundz.com and enjoy the following pictures from an even I shot way back when……

Lakers vs. Celtics

I’ve been out of the LA area for about 10 years.  But I still love my Lakers.  Almost as much as I still love the Angels. 

Now the finals are just around the corner and I plan on watching all four games…..WAIT!  You say its a seven game series?  I don’t think so.  Four games and out - Another championship for the “Lakes”.

Trading for Pau was either the biggest mid-season trade or it was the biggest boner on the face of the earth.  I guess it depends on whether you’re anticipating the first game Thursday or sitting on your arse watching another Fox re-run.

Kobe is playing well.  He just turns it on when he wants and he’s got alot to turn on.  Poor KG….oh, well.  Maybe he should have stayed in Minnie.  I guess he does deserve a championship one day.  Just not against the Lakes.
