Animals

This wiggly Lab was waiting for his owner in front of a store.

He looked awfully concerned for my welfare. AA271 Getting close.

German shep sunning in back of his master's mud-splattered truck.

This is Tofu the border collie.

This is a terrible photo, one of those "quick-draw" ones, but it's also one of the funniest things I saw in Japan last year. This dandy and his obviously pampered Shiba Inu dog were being pulled around a Shinto shrine by rickshaw. The man was covered in silk and seemed to be role-playing, on the order of Japanese nobility.

Her owner said she is 15 years old! A sweet old bird dog.

This old guy is in the school parking lot, sometimes. He's never interested to see me, he just gives me a droll look and waits and waits. AA312 Choice.

Also known by the colloquial names wood chuck, rock chuck, groundhog and, in the southern US, whistle pig. Marmots cover the globe. What are their nicknames where you live? AA315 Rocks.

One of my favorite sights is dogs driving! On the left is Duck the Lab, who is really goofy, as all Labs are. On the right is Opal the border collie. She is a good girl, but a little too hyper for me! (What else would a border collie be?)

There's always that question from the back seat. This is Brick, the Karelian bear-hunting dog, a very rare breed. Very sweet natured, unless you're a bear!

Cows in winter. Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA.

Three cute friends by the railroad tracks.
