I managed to get some new photos of Vinnie last week... he is growing so fast. He has gained 1/2 a pound in the last week and is still a ribby little thing. He just goes all the time and burns it all off. The older dogs are finally starting to realize he's here to stay!
OMG I love the pics!!! If he is on the thinner side and you are having a hard time getting him to hold weight, try satin balls they tend to be very good at putting weight on them, here is a link on how to make them...
FABULOUS PICTURES!! Whew, that was fun! I love your last one...I'll bet he runs really fast. Dianne's Grace runs like that and the others can't keep up with her.
He is a little pistol.
Beautiful pup.
I wouldn't worry about his weight.
Gunther is just now filling up a bit.
My vet said that spoos,especially males have a tendency to be scrawny when young and it's perfectly normal...actually better for them.
Love your pictures.
Thanks everyone! He is doing great. I am not worried about the weight at all - I like my dogs a little on the thinner side (obviously! :biggrin I have gone through the adolescent male several times - this boy is a GOOD eater though. If it holds still, he'll eat it. We feed raw and he's eating 1/2 a pound a day - oink oink!!
Oh, is Eva your friend? I gather she is new here so welcome Eva!
So sorry to hear you puter crashed p4p. They are a necessary annoyance at times. I hope you had something backed up. I did that when I first had a puter and wasn't savvy about backing up my info. I lost a year's worth of photos....cry :crying: It was horrible. I back everything up to disks now.
Thanks! Actually, he is going to be silver. It's hard to tell in the photos, but his face has a silver cast to it and you can see around his nose and eyes where the silver hair is starting to show. I shaved his f/f/t a couple nights ago and it's showing up now even more.
Yes! I mentioned on here that you may be joining and that I would post pics of him when I got them, my puter crashed and I lost everything! But now you can post them! eace:
Jerry and I are so happy. It was a perfect situation. I adopted Jerry when he was 6 months old and house trained. He is my baby. I hate the thought of traveling without him. My mom takes care of him if I have to be away. She calls him her granddog.
How wonderful for you! You know, my sister, Becky, has had a beagle for years and whenever they go anywhere, the dog goes to grandma's and grandpa's like a second family for her. I always thought they were very lucky to have my brother-in-laws parents available at any time to dogsit for them.
And how!!! Billy is a wicked challenge to photograph. More so outside than inside. I still haven't been able to afford the flash for my new camera so I don't even have the option to us a fill flash to help with the exposure and stop action shots.
Outside, I don't use a flash at all. I just make sure the sun is behind me and then will do a little post processing on the photos if needed. This is where Capture NX2 (a program for Nikon files) comes in handy!!
:crying: ok, are any of you willing to take on an apprentice LOL!!!!!! I love all your pics and can only dream of taking such good ones myself lol! I know to far away, but a girl can dream can't she LMAO! Can you give me some ideas on a good camera that would not cost an arm and a leg, or what I should be looking for in a camera, digital of course. I have a Nikon coolpix L1 6.2 megapixels 5x zoom and I HATE it! It is soooooo slow between pics that I miss alot of cute shots, and it is not like you can tell a dog or a 2 yr old, ok do that again so mommy can take a pic of it LOL!!!!
You could try to find a Nikon D40 - I don't think they are making them any more, but they are a good starter camera. The next model up is the Nikon D60 and it is a very nice little camera.
And then practice, practice, practice!!! (that's the fun part!)
I fully understand MILITARY! My daughter did three years as a Marine and my son is in his 16th year in the army. You do what they tell you, go where they tell, and do it when they tell you.
Please thank your husband for me for his service to our country. There is no greater calling than that. I feel it every time my son is deployed.
I'm with the others on this moving thing.. I absolutely love small town living and miss it horribly...and as for those in the service, God Bless them and keep them safe.:usa:
Awww, animllvr, that is so kind of you. I know my son always appreciates hearing that there are those in our great country who appreciate what he does.
I didn't know you lived in a small town at one time. Where do you live now?
I've mentioned it before but our town's population is 800. Very comfortable.
