After a long walk under the mid day sun we finally found water at the local rugby field. She drank a lot. Now it´s just a matter of time before she howls for another walk.

A Double Dapple Miniature Dachshund ...

What a cutie

The PP didn't work and I'll fool with this some more but here's our Macaw.

Just tried to get rid of a poor background and learn this software more. Back to the drawing board....

[KrisK10D]

I might be able to help ya with that, Pete. What's the background like? And what editing program you using?

Here's Jay on the first day of Puppy School, being a naughty puppy with her sister Domino



And learning to 'Stand'! Like all dogs need to learn

On a recent camping trip, this little guy decided he'd strike a pose for me. Though no matter how many times I asked, he refused to tuck in his left leg for the shot.

hahaha, 1st post. Welcome Bob. And welcome all those new members (and old of course too posting here. That's great to see, and a big impetus for this thread to begin with. My camera should be coming back from repair tomorrow, so I should have new shots to add soon.

Repair, on a Pentax? Never heard of this before

Repair, on a Pentax? Never heard of this before

hahaha... not to worry; not "manufacturer's defects" (well, other than the leaning viewfinder many people are plagued with). ...."impact damage".

1st or 2nd week of ownership I was rounding a corner and bumped the camera against the wall at about 3 feet high, and it fell to a concrete floor. The Tamron lens hood hit first protecting it (got scuffed), then camera pivoted on that and hit the ground cracking the bottom of the case near the battery door. It caused the door to get real tight; had to use my nail to get it to open.

Then, a few months later after coming back from Africa, I had all my gear in my bag with camera attached to the big 5+ lb. Sigma I have. The camera bag slipped off the ottoman it was on, falling less than 2 feet and landing on the top of the bag, thus back of the camera. That caused the magnifying eyepiece in the top pocket of the bag to be sandwiched between the floor and camera, where the camera had the mass of the Sigma 300mm f/2.8 behind it.... thus cracking the rear LCD.

Plus, had it cleaned and had mentioned I had the old "leaning viewfinder" problem.

Oh crud ... I just realized this second I'd forgotten to mention to them the rear dial that was scratchy from dust in Tanzania and was intermittently not working! And camera is in transit and being delivered back to me today! It's out of warranty now... :ugh:

It arrived @ Pentax on the 10th two days before the warranty ran out (world's worst procrastinator here, give all the damage was done by September of last year). It's arriving back to me within 2 weeks. Pretty great turn-around!

They're magnificant, WD. What sort of 'work' is it that they do anyhoo?

Jay's turned into an escape artist. You wouldn't think a fence nearly a meter high would be jumpable by a little puppy, would ya...



Well... it bloody is!



Dad told me she was getting out and I couldn't for the life of my figure out how. Well today she escaped while I was home and now I have the evidence.



Dad thinks it's hilarious. I still can't believe she gets over the damn fence

[m8o]

Kevin... OMG!

Kris. I'm really love'n your continual posts showing the growth and playfulness of your babies. Keep'm come'n!

Arthur, my youngest never seemed to kick her tendancy to sit like a puppy either...

Workingdog, so majestic. Wonderful scene. I miss shepards, but they're just too big for my lifestyle presently so I don't see another in my future. I'll live vicariously through you!

Dan, great portraits. I bet your doggidie is a killer to keep clean!

Wayne and Art, very neat to see this type of alternative pet to the norm.

Affe & Bob looking forward to more.

Love your bird Peter. So photogenic.

Great shot Maxwell. Say, do you belong to the LI Photography Group on meetup.com? I went to the Fire Island Lighthouse w/them. Once I get my camera back I may go out on a trek over the summer if there's anything interesting.

Ok, didn't mean to exclude anyone... just catching up going only one page back.
