I'm a trooper

And so we march on in the heat.  

Yes, I'm a trooper.  In fact I look like a Storm Trooper with my leg out straight.

Well, thank goodness for some shade.

Don't move Alpha.  Or rather, keep moving exactly in line with moi.

I wish I were a duck.

This guy doesn't care how hot it gets.

Yikes, who's that?

Woah.  Someone's coming up on me from behind.

And they're looking rather tall.

Oh, hi Mom!

I guess I should have figured it was just you, and your shadow.

My protector

Can you see him?

It's just me, and my large doberman shadow.

So don't mess with me, 'cause I'm protected.

I'm a magician

No really.

Can you see my magic trick?

I turned my shadow into that of a baby carriage.

Really -- take a closer look (click on the photo).

I know, I know, very impressive. Thank you. You may stop applauding now.

Happy Halloween!

So tell me, do you think it's a sunny day for our walk?

Well lets see, Mom looks like she's squinting a bit

And I look all bright and spunky.


But only the shadow knows for sure.

Hey Alpha, what the heck are you are wearing, anyways?

Jeez, a little spooky if you ask me.

Oh, I get it, this must be Alpha's halloween costume.

Do you know what he's dressed up as this time?

Well of course you do ... he's an old-time radio show ;-)

That's Mr. Shadow to you

Nothin' more to say. Just singing a song in my head ...

Me and my shadow

Strolling down the avenue

Oh, me and my shadow

Not a soul to tell our troubles to

And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs

We never knock 'cause nobody's there

Just me and my shadow

Canine sundial

Can you tell what time it is?

Well come on, I'm doing my part as a sundial! LOL.

Me and my shadow?

Hey, that doesn't look like my shadow.

It looks like some dark and mysterious person following me.

I'm a little worried.

Oh, never mind, I see the hat now -- that's just Alpha!

Running toward the sun

Look, up ahead, it's the giant parents.

If I run really fast to the other side, I'm quite sure they won't be so big and dark and scary.

And I do like the sun in my face -- "spotlight on talent" as they say.

Casting a long shadow

Who is that dashing and studly looking Yorkie?

Oh wait, that's moi (hee, hee).

Hey, what can I say -- when you've got it, flaunt it.

Now come on you guys, let's go catch those walkers up ahead. I need some more adoration.

Superdog casts a long shadow

Here I am in my super cape. Check it out -- I am such a big dog -- see the shadow I cast?

I'm out on the deck after a snow/ice event (we're having many of these lately).

It's cold, but I'm a super tough superdog!


OK, that was fun, but now I'm chilly.

I sure hope you got the shot Alpha ;-)

Me and my shadow

Two of us got to go out on a walk the other day. Me -- and my shadow (hee hee). He followed me everywhere!

Let's hear it for nice sunny days (especially when it's cold).

And speaking of cold, I say pppfffttt to that (perhaps you can see me sticking out my tongue ;-)

But at least I look good in my preppy sweater!

Casting a long shadow

See another artsey photo from Alpha. See the lines, the color contrasts, blah, blah, blah.

Hey, the key points really are: the deck project is moving toward completion; and I am in the photo.

Alpha's playin'

Oh Alpha, can you cool it with the finger puppets on my butt?

Jeez! You really do need a life!

And that would be a life of servitude to moi (hee, hee).

Hi there -- where are you?

Hi there Alpha! Where ya been? I hope you are having fun on your vacation.

Next time, I want to come, OK? Hurry up and get that RV. I'm ready to hit the road!
