A Story

Camden has a pool.

Camden has a friend, too.  She is very cute!

Sadly, the pool is not big enough for both of them.

It's hardly even big enough for Camden.

But that's okay because his friend would rather play chase.

And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

Dog's Bliss

Signs of a good time

It was supposed to keep him out

There is something very interesting going on in the bottom of our firewood pile. Camden has been doing his best to investigate the past couple of weeks. And creating a little chaos and destruction of the pile .

Since it is just firewood, we don't really mind, but for the past week Ryan has been doing his best to keep Camden out of the area. But the little fence seems to be no match for a dog on a mission.

Look at that cute innocent look on his face. What? Am I doing something wrong? But this is fun."

He gets in ... then has a hard time getting out.
Me, in a cheerful voice: "Camden, are you coming?"
Camden: "Uhh, Can I go under here?"

"How about here?"
"Come on, dude."
"Umm, I'm having troubles getting out." Insert dog whining here. "How did I get in here?"

...five minutes later:


"Now when I can go back to do more investigating?"

"Hi!"

Alternate title; "How many pictures of Camden do you really want to see on this blog?"

This was taken Tuesday while we were grilling dinner over the fire. He chose to settle a bit away from the fire. And it just looks like he's saying Hi. Though if you've ever met him, you know he's not this calm when actually saying hi.

The DUDE of our house

This guy has a few nicknames around here; Dude, 'ups, Camdoni, Stinks ('cause he does sometimes) Crazies, and my favorite - because it adds character - Camdemonium (rhymes with pandemonium).

Even with names like that, he is a pretty obedient dog...most of the time. You can see that he 'stayed' today for the pictures, even though he was much more interested in barking at/with his neighbors than smiling, or even looking at the camera. :-)

More Snow

Sunny Day

This is the first day of sun we've had all week! Almost thought we'd moved to Seattle. ;)

Friday's Random Story:
The photo is of Camden in his little corner of the yard. When Ryan and I aren't tantelizing him with food, he likes to lay there looking the other direction and watch the goings on in the street. Which consist mostly of squirrels and every once in a while, a person walking their dog. During fall the pile of leaves on the other side of the fence is so high, if you look from the front, he looks steath. Like he's hiding out. You can only see his head and he kind of blends in to the color. It's cute. But I haven't even tried to get a photo of that because the moment he sees me, Camden gets too excited to stay put and jumps on the fence for attention. He's an attention hog, have I mentioned that?

My pups and Me

Turner is here!

We're dog sitting this little guy.

I don't think Turner is as used to someone trying to take his picture all the time as Camden is.
(Ok... it's true, I am a bit of a camera-carrying, picture-taking freak.)

He was a little scared of the camera and won't pose with Camden. :-)

Camden

...taking a break from being crazy.

And me, playing with pictures. :)

Nap time.

A dog and his bone

Seems this may become a dog blog. He's the only one that will let me take pictures of him around here.

A dog's world

Big storm --> big stick --> big chew toy.

"Wait... was that a squirrel?"

100% Chance of Snow Today

I love using snow as a background to pictures!

Pups!

A collection of recent pictures I've taken of Camden.

Late Afternoon Portrait

Who Barked?!?

The Sleeping PlaceCamden is so good at wandering into his kennel for bed in the evening while we're relaxing. I like how his fluff sticks through the crate - doesn't seem the most comfortable, though.

(Try to overlook the terrible lighting)

Last night I was reading while Ryan and a friend were watching the basketball game. Camden goes crazy when people are over so I kept him in our room. When he finally stopped pacing, whining and wishing to be part of the action, he settled in this spot providing a fun reflective view from my little nook on the bed.

PS. No, I don't keep my camera in the bedroom, I left to get it hoping he would settle back to the same spot.


Camera Curious

Don't you all love pictures of dogs' noses. Okay, maybe you don't... but I do.
