2011? What the...?

Wow. THAT was a quick end to the year. I haven't even posted any dog pics from the fall yet! Guess I'd better get busy since we're only a few hours away from the new year. First up:

Dear Abby

Abby happens to live about 4 blocks from me so I had a real short commute. She's a black lab/Visalia combo and she's quite a jumper. This deer dog is capable of clearing 5 foot fences which is pretty amazing.  Needless to say, we did most of the photo shoot in the safety of the walled back yard. We also did some nice shots in her house as well as on the nearby bike path.

Abby is supervised by Monica, who demonstrated some of Abby's skills while I clicked away. We had a nice fall day - around 75 degrees - which seems like a lifetime away as I currently stare out at a yard full of snow.

Abby was a great subject! She sat when we asked her to as well as laid down, jumped, walked, and about anything else you could think of. We had a fun afternoon!

Thanks Abby!
