snow day [[VIDEO!!]]

While I shot photos the other day during our snow hike, Molly shot video and compiled it into this amazing piece. I freakin’ love my dogs. And my life.

Snow Day from Molly on Vimeo.

Terrah - upload part 2!!! it was sooo funny.

misti - Love this video! Very fun and the music flows great with the activeness of the dogs.

more snow

Terrah - my dogs miss the snow. looks like fun!!!

Cully - Your photos are always so much fun to look at! The dogs look like they were having a blast!

laurie - I love your pictures - can you tell us what kind of camera equipment you use?

Sarah - these were all taken with a Canon 50d with a 17-55 f/2.8 lens. That is what 85% of my shots are taken with... the other 15% of the time, I use my telephoto.

snow day!

Winter has officially arrived. Down here, its arrival is marked by the day I get to work from home because there’s too much snow and too few plows. It happens every year. When it snows here, the roads stay covered. Small-town desert communities are ill-equipped to handle such excessive offerings from the weather gods. Though, maybe since this is the third year in a row with so much snow, city officials will finally take note and buy more plows. But in the meantime, I don’t mind occasionally working from home, and playing with the dogs in their favorite form of h2o. We got two snow days in a row! I felt like a kid again!… even though I still had to work : (

Alison - Great pictures as usual...LOVE IT! I especially love the second one. Your dogs are so happy! :) Seems like yesterday I was there wearing capris.

Danny - Awesome. I especially love the first shot. I wish we could take our res dog out for a romp, but she doesn't deal with leashes well yet. In the meantime, she has a blast in the back yard...

introducing Trevor!

Molly got a new foster dog. Unlike me, Molly is actually capable of actually fostering. Trevor is a massive black lab mix… with great dane, or hound? We are not sure! What we do know is that Trevor is super skinny. He eats 7.5 cups of food A DAY and still his ribs stick out. He lost the weight because Dogtown stresses him out more than most. He needed a foster home where he could blossom and gain weight, so Molly took him. He joined us for a nice hike on Sunday and another today. He is happy and likes his new girlfriends. Now he just needs to pack on the pounds!

Terrah - cute...looks like he is smitten on jemma

Cully - I love Trevor's smile in that last pick! He looks like he is really enjoying the attention.

sunday afternoon at home

It always blows my mind that when traveling by air, you can be in one place in the morning, and on the other side of the country a few hours later. I woke up in Atlanta yesterday, but after a four hour flight, a two and a half hour layover, another one hour flight, and an hour and a half drive home, I was back in my bed in the Utah desert. Weird.

I wanted to be productive today… go to yoga, maybe clean the house, but after a full day of travel, I was not up for any of it… especially considering I spent all day Thursday traveling out to Atlanta (it was a very quick trip). So I puttered unproductively around the house, ran some errands, and then found myself bored again at home. That’s when my animals come in handy. My household loves each other and provides endless hilarity.

Eliana >^..^ - You have such pretty animals! I am in Trinidad right now and I miss my pets. I have seen such horror things here--there are stray dogs EVERYWHERE and most of them have mange, so I carry ivermectin with me and treat them. I have treated over 20 by now. I wish I could get them all spayed and neutered. I also saw a hawksbill seaturtle's flippers being sold in the market, it was the saddest thing. I reported but no one cares here. I have seen wild caught macaws in the most horrible conditions. ;o(

mud party

Eliana >^..^ - Amazing action shot! Good job, the pictures tells a thousand words! Fun! Eliana >^..^<

Nini - Wow, that's an awesome shot! Mud is fun!

more more more

Some friends and I have been hiking our dogs every day for the past month or so (with the exception of work travel and overly sore muscles from overly ambitious hikes), but I haven’t really been posting the photos. Now that my book is done, and my new shots are not inside of it, I figure I should post more of them here. So here are a few from last night and the night before…

And yes, that is Haley taking a piss up there, but she’s just so cute I couldn’t resist…

Linda - I love to take pics of my dogs pooping. They look so embarrassed or offended. It's hilarious!

reach for the sky, Gabby!

Eliana - Another GREAT shot!

keith - Sarah - Is Angel Canyon the same canyon that Best Friends is located in (I've noticed in a number of blog posts that you mention Angel canyon).

Sarah - indeed it is!

blooper reel

Since Jeffrey let us put a frog on his head last year, surely a cat can’t be much different… right? Here are some funny outtakes of Jeffrey and Dido from a photo shoot a couple months ago (with winning shot at the end).

Eliana - OMG...that is TOO cute!!! How in the world did you manage to get the kitty to stay so calm? ;o) Very cute!! I love your site, and all your amazing pictures. ;o) Eliana >^..^<

misti - I think my dog could do it, it's my cat I'd be worried about! Great shots!

Terrah - bwhaha. poor jeffrey... can't catch a break.

auntie molly - cool, i just sent this link to jeffrey's parents.

whit - YES! the second one rules!

Nini - OMG this is sooo funny! Love the second & fourth one! Kudos to Jeffrey and the kitty for being such good sports :)

Magen - This post it Cute Overload worth! Nice photography!
