Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018

I do love summer, especially at the cabin.  Seeing that Bruno is a lover of all things water, it’s no surprise that his July photos involve waiting to dock jump and dock jumping including some walking on water.  August and September saw the breakfast club, playing in the tennis courts and waiting for visitors. DeckContinue reading “Bruno – Walking on Water. July to September 2018”

Agnes – rescue puppy in autumn

September saw us get a bit of an early start to fall on the prairies.  Although we were sad to see the end of summer, it did make for some colourful photos in Agnes’ project.  She also managed to shake on a deal, imitate a grey seal, and show just how wide she can openContinue reading “Agnes – rescue puppy in autumn”

Agnes – A Good Sign. August 2019

August was another good month for Agnes as most of the photos at the cabin.  That has to be a good sign of a good life.  All 4 of her project photos this month include dogversations.

Agnes the Rescue Puppy – July 2018

July was a good month, with most of the photos outdoors at home or at the cabin.  Agnes is continuing to get more comfortable in her own skin.  She remains neurotic, but in a very cute and quirky way.  Much of her time is now spent squirrel or ball obsessed, as three of these fiveContinue reading “Agnes the Rescue Puppy – July 2018”

Eva the Brittany Spaniel – April to June 2018

Eva’s project for the second quarter of 2018 was pretty low key.  A photo of her dog bling, Handing out in the kitchen, riding the paddle board and catching some zzz’s while either consolidating or making memories.  She does lead a good life.

Agnes the Rescue Puppy – June 2018

June saw a mix of cabin and house time for Agnes and the rest of our crew.  Somehow all of the photos from June made her look very relaxed and chill as she has definitely made herself at home with our family.

Bruno continues loving life and everything that it has to offer.  These three months saw some computer work, cheerios, a return of summer, cabin time, dock jumping and road trips.

Agnes the rescue puppy – May 2018

May was another good month for Agnes the rescue puppy.  From sharing peanut butter at home to three fun weekends at the cabin.  She is living the life.

Agnes – April 2018

This year April started with the winter that would not end, but by the end of the month we were playing bocce in that back yard.  Agnes keeps getting better about being a model, including coming out for solo walks and photo sessions.

Agnes – March 2018

Agnes’s March photos saw us have a family health scare, some persisting snowfalls and eventually a visit from the Agnes bunny at Easter.

I’m doing another monthly photo project with Eva in 2018.  A cold start with several winter photos to begin the year. A Little Chilly Eva in the back yard.

On Instagram – theDogWearsPantlers

In Rome I was convinced that I needed to be on Instagram. I did resist adding a media presence/commitment, but decided to join and now regularly post photos there.  Since not all photos make it on this web site the Instagram feed provides a more updated stream of dog and other photos. My handle isContinue reading “On Instagram – theDogWearsPantlers”

Bruno’s Project – December 2017 – Golden retriever at Christmas

Bruno and Christmas.  Two things that I love, which are even better when combined together.  December marks the end of his weekly photo project, and most of the images do have a Christmas theme to them.

Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.

Hard to believe that 2017 is now over, and the weather that we had to end the year was chilly to say the understated least.  This also marks the last post of Eva the Brittany Spaniel’s monthly 2017 photography project. This November photo was a tribute shot, based on a lovely photo by Stefanie Timmermann. Continue reading “Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.”

Bruno had been temporarilyContinue reading “Agnes’ Project – November & December – Rescue puppy living the good life”

Bruno’s project – November 2017

We  had an abrupt early start to winter. On November first we had a moderately large snow-storm and are now sitting at a very cold -30c with the wind chill.
