yea i dont let it bother me. i would rather have fun with a few than with none. if the weather is nice tomorrow as long as there is no rain i think i will walk to the beach and get some shots.

[Mike S]

http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif AWWWWWWWW Katie looks great--nice pic, Mike!

Yeah, that sounds good for another thread, nature - backyard and beyond! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks they finally put the fence back up and she ia able to go outside with out a leash. We are both happy! We had a incident with a german sheppard who sorta went after me when we were on our nitely walk about a week or so ago and Kati went into protection mode and now she is horrible on a leash she has to "protect" me from every sound leaf and dog she see's. she is great with small dogs but big dogs now drive her crazy. she thinks they are all coming after me. back to the drawingboard with the training.

http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I'll add more about dog quirks a bit later, Mike, I've just got time right now to post this one pic before visitors get here...Beautiful, too Anton -- ha, so funny I was thinking about these irises I had in my yard in Washington state in 1997. Only have a poor photo to work from so I basically painted in some coloring and details so it would at least give you an idea....there were irises all around the front and sides of the house and when all were in bloom they surprisingly had the scent of purple grape juice! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
