I crouched down to capture Fitzi clutching a very large stick in his jaws. He raced at me, I clicked the shutter button, the exposure meter had to compute before tripping the shutter, then Fitzi leapt at me.
Whoa. Darth Fitzi.

Here she comes
Lucy, ball in mouth.
Tongue
Despite this blurry and out of focus image shot in low light, it is easy to see relaxed and at ease Achilles’ tongue simply hanging. I do think he either does not know or care whether his tongue is out. Whichever (or for another reason), it is most amusing and endearing.
Tuckered out
Lucy is tuckered out after a lengthy session with the Chuck-it!
Dozing
Achilles, dozing on the deck of a pet friendly cottage we recently visited. We took only him, leaving Fitzi and Lucy at home in the care of a trusted sitter. 
Favourite
A favourite photo from not quite a year ago – Fitzi inviting me to play.
Waits
Achilles waits behind the gate while I work in the front yard.
While I’d like to have him out front with me – he is very unlikely to race off after some attraction – it’s better having him in the back yard. He is an old guy and I prefer having him there. He is safe from the stray or loose dog which might take advantage of his vulnerability while my back is turned or I’m otherwise unable to defend him.
Study
A decent study of Lucy; she held still long enough for me to photograph her.
I love her floppy ears.
Before
Lucy, before a thunderstorm chases us inside.
Apologies
Please accept my apologies for going dark for several days. Computer issues have kept me off line.
The Alert One ensures that all is in order.
