This was Agnes’s second Christmas with us, and she really figured it out this year. She was more relaxed, confident, and involved in everything. A real big part of the family. A Christmas Story This photo was part of the 52 weeks tribute/imitation challenge. I selected a photo by Katie McLellan as inspiration. Julia wasContinue reading “Agnes – Christmas Dog 2018”

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 – 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. Duck on the Driveway We had a few days of rain resulting inContinue reading “Agnes the Rescue Puppy – June 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.

26 bridges – Gordie Howe and Grand Trunk Rail Bridge
In August of 2017 I took an evening trip out to the old Grand Trunk rail bridge and new Gordie Howe South Circle Drive bridges for some sunset photos. The night was calm so there was not a ripple on the river. A beautiful Saskatchewan summer night. It made for a good evening of photos.Continue reading “26 bridges – Gordie Howe and Grand Trunk Rail Bridge”
Agnes – January 2018 – The Start of a New Dog Photography Project
The start of a new year usually is accompanied by new beginnings, and for Agnes this means stepping up her modelling skills and moving into being a weekly model for a 52 week photo project. For those who do not know her yet she is a mixed breed of wide genetic diversity that joined ourContinue reading “Agnes – January 2018 – The Start of a New Dog Photography Project”
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. 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”
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’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”
Eva’s Project – September & October – Brittany Spaniel
Eva’s photography project in the fall was somehow mainly shot indoors with only one photo of the fall colours in it. The photo of my stalker turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. Serious Face Her only September photo was a simple black and white portrait of her serious face inContinue reading “Eva’s Project – September & October – Brittany Spaniel”
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”
Eva’s project – July and August. Brittany Spaniel in the summer
Almost all of Eva’s July and August photo project was done at the cottage. This even included a good view of the partial eclipse, which was more awe-inspiring for humans than dogs. A good life for a Brittany Spaniel in the summer. Neither Ducks nor Geese This first photo is why we can’t fully trustContinue reading “Eva’s project – July and August. Brittany Spaniel in the summer”
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”
Eva’s Project – May & June 2017
Eva’s project in May and June saw a random collection of mainly spontaneous photos. Sad to admit that there was no master plan here, just taking photos for the fun of it. She is however a lovely dog and always ready to do photos with me The Catcher Her first photo of May “the catcher”Continue reading “Eva’s Project – May & 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”
Eva’s Project – March & April 2017
March and April was mainly set in the kitchen and dog park for Eva’s project. This “can’t stop won’t stop” photo made use of a coffee mug bought for dog portraits then adapted to every day use in our house. The mug really does match her personality. Please note, no coffee was consumed during thisContinue reading “Eva’s Project – March & April 2017”
Meet Agnes
In April we added another puppy to our home. Agnes is a mixed breed puppy who was looking for a home from “We All Need A Rescue” in Saskatoon. She came to us timid and afraid of people, but started immediately bonding with our pups. Within a few days she warmed up to us humansContinue reading “Meet Agnes”
