The "Dog Photographer Of The Year" competition, an annual contest organized by the UK-based animal welfare organization the Kennel Club, has announced its winners, and unsurprisingly the winning photos are chock full of very good dogs.


Some beautiful photos of man's and woman's best friend

I posted this picture of Bobbi last year.

Bobbi went to heaven today. She had metastatic cancer. She went very quickly and peacefully. My vet came to the house as he did for Rocky just last August. She was the best girl. The vet said she was hanging on for me and I believe it.

I never did get a third dog after Rocky died which I regret mightily. Hank is upset and looking for her. I am taking him to meet a little terrier girl tomorrow morning. I hope they are a good fit because he is having a tough time alone.

Bobbi was the funniest hunter- tail-wagging with no stealth whatsoever. My heart is broken and I will treasure her forever. I adopted her when she was 3 and she was my dear love for 11 years. I thank God for every minute of her precious life.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, @austingirl

It's hard to let them go, and they take a piece of our hearts with them.

How cute.  Sounds like she had spirit!

I hope you find a good companion for Hank, and that Rocky and Bobbi are having fun on the other side.

@Freya  @Suppressed @DCPatriot @verga @Polly Ticks @mystery-ak @Sanguine

Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

Things went well at the rescue today with Hank and Harriet, a little terrier girl that bears a lot of resemblance to Bobbi. Hank was confused and worried but he tolerated her just fine. When she comes home he will realize that she is his new buddy. She absolutely loved him and me! She will help us have joy again.

The woman who runs the rescue out of her home is a saint. She takes in many animals that other shelters won't. God bless her.

Oh, that is such good news, @austingirl !  You just made my day!

[RoosGirl]

Y'all, please be aware that I have heard of many cases of canine flu recently.  I'm in the periphery now of the dog show circuit and many of my friends that are still showing either have been affected directly or know of someone.  Many are staying away from shows for a while and/or gotten their dogs vaccinated.  I'm passing this along for you to be aware if you take your dog(s) to places like dog parks, etc.  This flu is apparently pretty nasty for them, especially puppies and older dogs.  My dogs don't go anywhere anymore, but if they did I would get them vaccinated or stay away from high risk areas.

[austingirl]

Harriet, Hank's new friend. She has had a very hard life but I hope to change that. Hank is not enamored yet.

@Freya finally relearned how to post pics!

Northern Illinoisy is a hotspot of it right now. Luckily, our mutt is isolated out in the country with us. No need of a dog park to get his exercise......Squirrels, deer, rabbits, and turkeys give him extensive workouts....

I took my Great Pyr to the vet yesterday because he has an ear infection and the doc told me about the flu epidemic in the area.  I had him vaccinated.  Also told me that Atticus weighs 142.5 lbs.  Even for a large boned, tall Great Pyre that is too much.  We were up this morning and at the part to walk a quick mile.  I was dragging him toward the end and he came home, took a drink, climbed into our bed and went to sleep. 

I sort of feel like a heel, but have to get his weight down.

Cut out all the treats and cut his food back by about 20% until he's down to fighting weight.

There is also a great ear med you can get over the counter, Amazon carries it, called Zymox.  I keep it on hand and have found it does a great job.
