359/365 - Basking in the Glow

Trixie soaks up some of the last rays of sun for the day...

356/365 - Dog-Walking

Molly and Trixie, ready to face the brave new world beyond the safety of the fenced yard. (It's kind of a blurry world in this photo. Oh well!)

341/365 - Sunset Trixie

Self-explanatory title, but I'm "supposed" to write a caption for my Project 365 photos, so... Isn't my Eskie pretty? ;o)

337/365 - Late Summer Trixie

Trixie seems to enjoy her afternoon/evening outside, no matter what time of year it is.

In the middle photo, she was racing off to chase a hummingbird. Though she eventually tires of it, chasing and barking at hummingbirds is one of her favorite "duties".

328/365 - Resting Pesky Eskie

She has to conserve energy for her frantic evening frisbee sessions-- not to mention the indoor toy-fetching she so frequently insists upon when the People are trying to watch TV, crochet, or work at the computer.

320/365 - Another Silly Trixie Expression

She looks kind of funny when she looks up like this...

(My Project 365 photos have been very Trixie-centric, lately. Maybe I'll find a new subject for the next couple of photos.)

319/365 - Her Fame Grows ;o)

This weekend, we got our complimentary greeting cards and magnets with Trixie's "I Has a Hotdog" photo. I'll try to take better photos of the packaging soon. (This was the only one I took that didn't turn out blurry in the poor light from that rainy day...)

317/365 - Munch Munch Munch

Our lazy Eskie prefers to dine while lying down. She pulls her food bowl over from the corner of her crate, plops down in front of it, and chows down. She must be conserving energy for her evening frisbee and fetching sessions.

316/365 - Look Outside

There's a whole wide world out there! (But mostly she'd rather stay inside with the People.)

313/365 - Wide Angle Trixie

Trixie doesn't know I'm sharing this embarrassing photo. ;o)

(By the way, that's my hand she's licking.  The wide angle lens distorted it, so it looks a little weird in this photo...)

283/365 - Trixie & the Red Ball

"Okay... I did 'down'... I'm waiting... You can go ahead and throw it now... Any day now would be fine."

280/365 - Kibble, Kibble Ev'rywhere

So, I put a mixture of kibble (regular dog food that she gets every day) and small soft treats (which are, well, treats-- i.e. not something she gets all the time) in Trixie's food cube toy. The (probably predictable) result? She ate the treats and left the kibble.

(She did go back and eat the kibble later, but this was messy enough that we probably won't put kibble in the food cube from now on.)

268/365 - Pet the Puppy

Trixie approves.

265/365 - *Munch Munch Munch*

Sometimes Trixie likes to take a mouthful of food from her bowl (which is kept in her crate), spit it out on the floor, and eat it at her leisure. Why it tastes better this way, I cannot say, but it must.

260/365 - Trixie

Overly-'shopped photo of the Trixie-dog.

(Trying to distract from the blurry boringness of the photo with the Orton effect and faux cross-processing.)

252/365 - Blurry Dog & Bone

Isn't it artistic how I . . . purposely. . . blurred this photo of me offering Trixie (the stubby remains of) a Nylabone?

. . . No? Well, I had to try, but I can't say I'm surprised. ;o) At least there's a photo for this day, right?

244/365 - *Sluuuuurrrrp*

Trixie enjoys a good Nylabone.

238/365 - Triximo

Every now and then, I try to get a good photo of one of the dogs with the wide angle lens. So far, it's proven difficult. To get the really good distortion I want, you need to be right in the dog's face, but when I put a camera that close to our dogs, they either turn away or come forward and threaten to get wet dog nose all over the lens. It's going to take some patience and luck...

222/365 - *Wink*

When she's in her crate, Trixie sometimes squooshes herself against it to make it easier for someone to pet her through the bars. This time, she also closed one eye and "winked" at me. (Funny girl!)

(Hm. The fact that this was the best photo I took that day speaks volumes about how lazy I've gotten with Project 365. As if my extreme tardiness in posting the photos didn't say enough.)

214/365 - You Dirty Dog

Every now and then, she likes to dig in the dirt-- and dampness is no deterrent.

Good thing she's (mostly) self-cleaning!
