back by (somewhat) popular demand: the dog blog

I had to check. About 25% of the people commented or emailed. Just, I had some broken links up and no one wrote to tell me so I thought, jeeze, if people aren't reading it...

Some technical notes. The videos get blurry. Between the dog noses and the snow, it's hard to keep a clean lens. Oh well. And if you go to the folder (after about 4 pm 12/22/07 EST) you will see file names with MOV or WMV. The quicktime (MOV) files are a little bigger. The windows media format files should work on more computers. I will only link the MOV files here but if your computer won't open quickltime, change the last three letters to WMV. Any other problems, let me know. Thanks.



That's the slide show. Here are some other videos in reverse chronological order.

Here are Maple and Stro. I let them out in the yard with everyone else in the early AM and Maple still wants to play. Stro wants to watch. But then they got cold, even though it's pretty warm today, so they went up to a nice warm room. I didn't take them back out for a longer walk and video ... but here they are.

When it was Django's turn to go out, he kept going the wrong way and generally not getting with the program. Here he is, going the wrong way. I'll make sure he gets in a long walk and some better videos tomorrow.

Bella, Norman in the hay field by the yard. Gustov takes Bella for a walk. Here.

Here are Norman and Bella with Buckwheat.

Luna and Ataturk. Wait, not Ataturk, that was the George Washington of Turkey. Utiok. Sorry... They rumble pretty rough. Another Husky characteristic. An intimate couple. Here.

Bella here. Bella seemed nervous for awhile. Now she's seems quite content... actually much better only today. She also couldn't deal with these icy stairs, that was a production. She's a different dog today, though. She used to kind of jump away when I pet her... now she comes to me and wags her tail, which is great.

There are 2 Bellas!!!!

Echo, Sugar and Ella went to visit the horses. As you can see, Sugar barked at them, Echo wasn't too sure he shouldn't run home and Ella was more or less indifferent. Echo was a little antsy on the ride and even this morning... but he's settled in now. Here they are. And here. The second one has the horses. Oh, and here.

Tattoo, Apple Ginger, Neve, Remy, Elvis, Ngiao on this walk in the pumpkin patch. Here and here and here and here and here.

Theo and Toby. Cameo by Ngiao. How did Ngiao get in here? Didn't come back with the others... and here.

Simon, here.

Rocket, Beanie, Molly, Simon, Lucy, Ngaio: here and here and here.

5 Chocolate Labs: Peter, Buckwheat, Edith, Maddox and Sophie. They wouldn't pose nicely together for a family shot. I'll work on that tomorrow. Here and here and here and here.

Are these more of the labs here?

Here's Nigel and our little conversation. He does seem to respond somehow. He slipped off the the porch to express his desire to go in the house. Didn't happen... tried the back porch for awhile, then he seemed happy to go back with the others. Walk up to the house...

Cindy Loo seemed to be looking for her little friend... going up the house, jumping up on the window to look in. Here she is after all that.

Mila, Gustov, Elton, Nigel, around the hay bales. Here.

Bailey, Mila, Gustov, Nigel, Elton, Samantha, Scuba, Franklin. Here and here.

More of the above group. Here and here and here.
