Black Dog Sunday

Our Black Dog had tons of fun on our recent camping trip. He ran to lakes and through meadows of wildflowers with the Runner. Then, around sunset, I played with him in the wildflowers almost every day. I adore how his fur shines and his eyes glow in the sunset light.

We feel so lucky that, despite elbow dysplasia and a number of near-death experiences, he's still romping like a puppy!

He's a funny dog. He got so jealous when I took Shyla out to play with her in the wildflowers that he couldn't keep quiet. Then, when his turn finally came, he couldn't contain himself!

Believe it or not, R was considered to be the LEAST intense of the puppies in his litter. Look at his eyes in the next photo. His focus is laser sharp.
I suspect that he's going to be a "10,000 Volt dog" (a trainer used that term for him) for his whole life.

Here's to many more wonderful camping trips with our Black Dog!

    We agree R does run on 10,000 volts.
    His expressive face amazes us, he is always so happy.

    I am also voting for the first as the 'top shot' - one for the frame I'd say! YAM xx

    It would be interesting to see how R compares to his siblings today. He sure is a high powered pup.

    He is such a lovely dog and I'm glad he is doing well and that he is so happy he can barely contain himself. Great pictures.
