The soaking wet happy springer spaniel This is another photo of Ruby, a springer spaniel that lives in Myrtleville. This time she followed us over to Fennell’s Bay where she dashed off into the shallows after stones. She was deliriously happy! Unfortunately the same could not be said for a group of teenagers higher up [...]

Dog in a lampshade
Filed in Animals, Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Dogs, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 10-20Dog in a lampshade Poor Oscar. It’s not bad enough that he got the snip but he had to wear what looks to all the world like a lampshade for two weeks.

Dog on the beach
Filed in Animals, Beach, Cork, Garretstown, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 18-200, WaterDog on the beach Oscar ambling along on the beach at Garretstown in Co. Cork. He never liked the beach, there’s just too much dirt and gravel and sand and just plain yuck, but he had a great time that evening. I don’t think Shih-Tzus are the most adventurous of dogs! Compare this picture with [...]

Oscar in the grass
Filed in Animals, Canon 20D, Cork, Dogs, Ireland, Nature, Photos, Sigma 10-20Oscar in the grass Oscar sitting patiently for us while we finished a bbq at my sister-in-law’s house! This required quite a bit of work because I had to clone out his lead, 3 garden chairs and the side of the bbq. Is it obvious where? Buy this as a print from $16.58
Bovine bodyguard Three cattle watch as we passed their field. “Is that a bull on the left?” says the city boy.
Mr. Ed Well, maybe he doesn’t talk, but this horse sure eats a lot!
Oscar In a few days time we’re adopting this little ball of fur and we’re going to name him Oscar! There’s an adorable King Charles Spaniel asleep in the background, but as you can see, both are unconcerned that a crazy cousin with a camera is making this shot!
