Tweed
This is the first photo I ever saw of Tweed. He is 2 weeks old here:
And now he’s just (T)weird.
Tweed is still annoying. But he did qualify for the AAC Nationals for the third year in a row.
He wore some stuff:
He found a mentor:
He partied.
Not a bad year for Tweed. Humiliation of wearing stuff excepted.
Piper
Piper has had a full year of Mad Teeth ™
In all sorts of situations:
Not that you can blame her.
She’s also my up-and-coming agility dog, and will one day replace Tweed as my main trialling competitor. If she stops biting me.
Woo
Woo had a year of highs and lows.
He lost his BFF Fifa:
But gained The Wootie Toy ™
He experimented a little:
And he took Piper exploring new places
But mostly he just chilled.
Red Dog
Red Dog reached a milestone in 2007, when he turned 10 years old.
He also began to fall apart.
First his elbows went to shit.
And then his face collapsed
But throughout it all, he has remained my most precious boy. He’s dead honest. He’s the most loyal creature on the planet. He is the truest dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And he may be gimpy, and he may be creaky and drooly, his coat may be shit now and he is shaped like a tube, but he is far and away the most beautiful dog in the world.
I lost my Toilet Kitty in October, after 16 years together.
I still miss him every day. But fortunately, I have an extremely irritating Angry Donut to keep the sadness at bay:
Cookie Uncle and I had a succession of foster dogs.
And we raised 7 tiny little babies
and then helped turn them into monsters.
It’s been a busy and hectic year. In 2008, watch for more photos of other people’s dogs as I set up appointments for shoots when the weather improves. If all goes according to plan, I will be heading down the Coast to California in the Spring to take photos of dogs we know from the internet. If you want to know if you’ll be on our route and want to schedule a shoot, let me know!
Have fun ringing in the New Year. All our best.
