PETS: Weather or not....

C'mon. You've thought about it.

The dog would LOVE to strip off that hot, furry coat in summer.

That just makes sense.

Not sure that a vet would agree but I took scissors in hand one year in San Diego and did a "little trim.".

Fido stayed in the house for a long, long time.

He really didn't seem to want to go out at all.

It started one day when I used a clothespin on this lovely sheepdog and "pinned"his hair out of his eyes.

"Wow/Woof," he said as he raced around the back yard, barking at the sun he had never seen before.

My cat is orange striped and sheds a lot.

That tells me he wants to have less hair. Do cats sweat?

I remember he liked our surprise snow last February.

Wallaby wished his legs were longer of course.

Cats don't like water but he didn't seem to make that connection whenever I put him out in the snow. That was often because I liked taking pictures of him. As he adjusted.

Oh yes, he quickly adapted to global cooling.

There was evidence of yellow snow.

Photographer's monthly Meetup...

Last night was the monthly meeting of the Photographers Group that I formed back in February.

About 20 people came to North Towne Grill and brought their digital and film cameras. It's very informal and we're all "students" eager to learn how to get the most from our hobby.

Two members actually are professionals and earn their income in photography.

Each month we encourage members to burn about 20 favorite photos to a CD and be part of the very popular Show & Tell.

I usually throw in a shot or two from when I was a news photographer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

My son Chris, 2, and our dog Fido provided a hot weather "filler" during the dog days of August.

Today he is 43 and probably would not have enjoyed my selection as much as the Group did.

We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Join us on September 10. Bring your camera...and the instruction booklet.You will have a fun time and you WILL learn something.
