Al,
These are cool pic's.
I love seeing wild life like this.
I never seem to have a camera handy though.

Here's Scooby, our shih tzu. He is at the top of Volcán del Estribo Grande (The Stirrup), in Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mexico. This arduous climb makes San Francisco's hills look like child's play. Our little trooper made it all the way to the top and back down...with a few stops for me him to rest.

He was a very handsome cat, and he looks quite content in that photo.
Have you considered some sort of tribute to him? After my beloved orange tabby died, I planted a tiger lily in his honor (my nickname for him was "Tiger"). More recently, I made a photobook of his life in pictures. Since he lived to age 20 (19 1/2 years with me), I had a *lot* of photos. It was a considerable amount of work, since many of those photos were before the days of digital cameras, and I had to dig them out of albums and scan them. But it was SO worth it, and I treasure that book.

Yup! We never go anywhere without his water bowl and bottled water...spoiled dog won't drink tap water. Fortunately, the gazillion steps to the top were lined with trees offering lots of shade. We made the hike on a weekend and there were lots of people to stop and chat with along the way....read that as lots of stops to rest, especially on the steepest part of the trail.

I love tummy pictures. Cricket is one cutie pie. Bet she'll teach those dogs what's up in no time

Cool Al, very cool.
I need to make the effort to capture photos of the roadrunner in my back yard. Haven't seen Wylie E. - at least not yet.

Nice shots. That first pic is worthy of National Geographic.

Nothing a lab loves more than water! Have you ever seen the dock dogs competitions? They have them in Charleston and I love watching the videos! Looks like the dogs are having a blast!

A 2-year old photo I just found this morning while organizing my albums.
Cats reading ER.org - and making sure I am not dilapidating their inheritance:

Cute kitties--the one on the left looks like my May white/calico and the one on the right like my much-loved and missed Henry-girl who was a gray/calico.
Our latest kitty, Pancake, is mostly white with the tabby splotches instead of calico markings.
These are young ones, from their size--do they run around the house like the Indy 500 like my youngsters?

They are 2.5 years old now, and a lot bigger! And while they have slowed down quite a bit, they are still racing around the house several times a day...
