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”

Bruno – April to June 2018
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. The Editor This was not a set-up shot. The dogs love it when my camera comes out. Bruno got so excited that he just decidedContinue reading “Bruno – April to June 2018”
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. Our Version of Spring Spring tried to come, then got pushed backContinue reading “Agnes – April 2018”
Bruno – January to March 2018
2018 will see another monthly project for Bruno, our delightful golden retriever. This will be a relatively low key project with somewhere between one to three photos per month. For the first quarter of the project he was a bed hog, a dog hanging out at the table, the homework helper, and the Easter Brunny.Continue reading “Bruno – January to March 2018”
Agnes – February 2018
The second month of Agnes’s project and she is already getting more comfortable in front of the camera. This week saw waiting for the kids, her dog bling, prancing in the park and a spontaneous guitar concert with Daniel. Waiting for the Kids This is the typical scene in our house every day starting aboutContinue reading “Agnes – February 2018”
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. Bright Idea His first December photo had Bruno getting literally wrapped up in the Christmas spirit. He really doesContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – December 2017 – Golden retriever at Christmas”
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. The cold stayed for much of the month so Bruno’s project has one snowy image and several relaxed indoor photos. The hard life of aContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November 2017”
Bruno’s Project – October 2017 – Golden Retriever in autumn
October in Bruno’s project saw lots of autumn colours and cuddles for the big guy. He does love the cool fall weather. Fall Portrait This photo is of Bruno having a good old fashioned lie down in the park. In his defense it was a three minute walk to this spot and a coupleContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – October 2017 – Golden Retriever in autumn”
WCVM 2018 Calendar – Mr. September
I have been fortunate to have a good relationship with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) and have had several photos over the years in cards, calendars and fund raising brochures. Mr. September This year Bruno makes an appearance in the 2018 calendar as “Mr. September”. Somehow nearly every other photo in the calendarContinue reading “WCVM 2018 Calendar – Mr. September”
Bruno’s Project – September 2017
Bruno’s September photos were a bit of an odd assortment. Working on the computer, resting, hanging with the Playmobil crew and an absentee shot while the humans were away on vacation. Post Haste His first photo September photo “post haste” was taken while he recovered from a game of chase with Agnes. Dave: Wow, BrunoContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – September 2017”
Bruno’s Project – August 2017
Bruno (and frankly all of us in our family) continued to live the good summer life in August. Lots more time at the lake, and even a solar eclipse to boot. The Golden Seal Week 31 “the golden seal” was just Bruno living the life he loves and swimming with his toy at the cabin. Continue reading “Bruno’s Project – August 2017”
Bruno’s Project – July 2017 Summer Cabin Fun
All of Bruno’s July photos were taken at the cabin, leading the good life. Summer at the cabin is amazing, especially when you’re with a golden retriever. It really was a great July. Reflecting Week 26’s photo “reflecting”was a bit of a random shot. Multiple other ideas had failed, but when I came back fromContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – July 2017 Summer Cabin Fun”
Agnes’ project – May and June 2017
Agnes is the newest member of our house, and certainly is the wild card in the mix. She came to us from We All Need A Rescue (WANAR) K9 rescue in Saskatoon. At first she was very timid and preferred spending time with Bruno and Eva to us humans. That didn’t last long. Now sheContinue reading “Agnes’ project – May and June 2017”
Bruno’s Project – June 2017
June saw the serious start of cabin season, which is Bruno’s favorite season by far. It also saw a visit form a land shark, the muffin man, the lazy Canuck and a flying retriever. Little Land Shark Week 22’s photo “little land shark” was him playing with Agnes on the deck of the cabin, blurringContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – June 2017”
Bruno’s Project – May 2017
May was a relaxed month for Bruno’s project with no action shots to be had. Week 18 was the first group portrait for the three pups, and it surprisingly turned out better than anticipated. I got it on only the 83rd attempt (not exaggerating). Treats are a good motivating force in our house. Dave: OkayContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – May 2017”
Bruno’s Project – April
Running in the park, Easter, and a new puppy in the house. Easter was a good month. Week 14 was a simple photo of Bruno living the good life, with his coat flowing in the breeze as he runs in the park. ———- Week 15 was Easter, and a long anticipated appearance from “the EasterContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – April”
Bruno’s Project – March
March saw the continuation of winter, Bat-Bru (his amazing Batman impersonation), shoving his nose in a “namast’ay in bed” mug, and warm paws. This guy is a good model. Winter Boots Week 9 was a trip to the park for Julia and Bruno that ended in a drag through the snow. Julia was more thanContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – March”
Bruno’s project – February 2017
Bruno’s project in February saw winter weather, school drop off, a valentine’s photo and an in absentia vacation photo. A Little Closer For Week 5 “a little closer” I took him to the frozen pond and this is what he came up with. Worked out so much better than what I was trying to frameContinue reading “Bruno’s project – February 2017”
Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on
2017 is a new year, and time to start a new 52 week dog photo project. This will be my fifth year doing a weekly dog photo project, and I must admit it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find photos that I haven’t done before. So, there may be repeats in 2017, but hopefully not tooContinue reading “Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on”
Bruno’s project – November & December 2016
It’s hard to believe that Bruno’s 12 month project is over for 2016. From jumping in the yard like a dolphin to all the fun of the Christmas season. But, lots more of him to come as he moves into a weekly project in 2017. Dolphin Jumping His first November project photo “dolphin jumping” wasContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November & December 2016”
Eva’s project – November
Eva’s project in November saw a bit of a warm November transition into the Christmas season. It saw a revisit of the “She’s Crazy” shots, off lead in the park, her sniffer, and some cuddles and cocoa. She’s Still Crazy Week 45 “she’s still crazy” was a revisit from Kael’s project in 2013 when EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – November”
Bruno’s project – September & October
September and October were relatively lean months in Bruno’s project. A total of three images to show, all of which were from diverse geographical locations. Bounding out of the lake, kitchen window guard dogs and sitting on a column in Rome. With Great Gusto His September photo “with great gusto” shows what happens when he boundsContinue reading “Bruno’s project – September & October”
Eva’s project – September
September is done, and saw the transition towards fall. It also saw four more photos in Eva’s weekly project, including one of an “open can standoff”, the doggy version of a Mexican Standoff. Hood Ornament Week 36 “hood ornament” was the final dock photo of the season. It was a chilly September long weekend andContinue reading “Eva’s project – September”
