Night Kannon


Statue of Kannon in a local cemetery while going for a late-night dog walk.


View from the top of the cemetery looking out towards my neighborhood.

No Pinky


The snow has finally stopped. Enjoying a dog walk in a snowy cemetery.


Turned my back for a second and somebody ate the pinky of my glove!


She really loves the snow!

Snow Sun


It started snowing off and on during our morning dog walk.


Fruit tree blossoms.


More fruit tree blossoms in the neighborhood.


Somebody peed here!


A short break in the weather!


Maybe these are apricot tree or plum tree blossoms.


Enjoying a break in the weather at a local park.

Laser Eyes


Evening dog walk. She can't resist to play in the pond at a local park. 


Close-up view of her laser-eyes!

Tree Trunk


Morning walk on another rainy day.


Wish I could just let her loose to run freely in this field.


Took her into a small grove of trees. Posing on a fallen tree.


Tug-of-war time.


Her bark is scarier than her bite.


She can't wait for me to fling the leash around some more.


Relaxing at the end of a farmhouse driveway.


Look at me!


Break in the rain with a little sunshine.

Heights


Finally got her to understand "jump." Now she will jump up from the pavement to the greenery or top of any wall instinctively. 


If she and I lived in that big farmhouse we'd both be in dog heaven! 



Dale was still afraid of heights when this shot was taken.

Deep Growl


When jumping up her paws sometime snag my earbuds cord and breaks them. Probably shouldn't allow her to do this kind of playing, but it's just as much fun for me as it is her!


Hope Dale will continue having fun playing tug-'o-war with me for many years to come after she passes the puppy phase. 


Kids walking nearby or off in a short distance probably freak out when they hear her deep growl when she plays tug-'o-war with me. She sounds like a wolf killing it's prey!
