Chewie's close up


Chewie looking bored..... waiting for her walkabout.... She's not looking too smiley here. Her precious smiles are reserved only for the outdoors...... solar powered doggie smiles ;D

Chewie and B

What bliss!!! Bet you didn't know a dog could smile like that. This shot was taken at a lake close to our Florida home. That was our routine, we would walk chewie in the evening, stopping by the lake to look at the ducks. Chewie's a sneaky little bugger; she loves scaring the ducks by walking slowly close to them then sprinting to cause them to fly. What simple pleasures.... whatever makes her smile!

Chewie and Me

Oh... The blue sunny skies of Florida. A nice day to be out at the beach. That's my puppy from hell, Chewie. The worst dog ever..... she pulls on her leash, she jumps and she humps.... but she's still so very much loved and spoilt to eternity.
If you haven't gone to see the movie 'Marley and Me', then GO. It's based on the novel of the same title, by Josh Grogan about his life with his dog Marley. It's not the best movie I must admit, but it really was a surprisingly good one. I went in expecting to chuckle and giggle, but came out with my eyes red and wet from tears. Not at all what you'd expect from an Owen Wilson movie. The movie was shot in Florida and Marley was a Labrador retriever with all the shortcomings of my own dog Chewie, which is probably why I related well to it. Lovely movie...... go see it and get the kleenex ready.
