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!)

336/365 - Molly Wants Some Pound Cake

Molly put in a request for a slice of pound cake. (Pretty please?)

310/365 - Happy Birthday, Molly!

Molly turned nine this year. It's hard to believe it's been nearly nine years since we brought home that silky little spaniel pup!

253/365 - Super-Duper Doggy Close-Up

As close as you can get to a Molly-dog. Presented to you digitally, to spare you the dog-kiss germs. ;o)

145/365 - Furry Friend

Can you find the Molly-dog? ;o)

96/365 - Can Hardly Wait

I bought a bag of Dinner Rounds at a Wal-Mart I rarely visit. Technically, they're meant to be dog food, but they're the perfect size to use as special treats (and they're really too soft and luxurious to seem proper for regular meals).

Most local stores have stopped stocking them.  In fact, I think this was the first I'd bought since we got Trixie.  She ate her first Round cautiously, as she does with most new food.  Molly, on the other hand, just wondered why she hadn't gotten any of them for so long.  ;o)

81/365 - "Where are your eyes, Molly?"

Someone needs another trimming, soon. . .

Molly and Trixie had fun chasing (and chewing) frisbees. They always have fun, when frisbees are involved. In fact, it's one of Trixie's favorite words, sure to catch her attention whenever it may be spoken.

78/365 - Molly is Petted

Molly jumped up on the swing to sit with me, but after I got up to leave, she didn't feel brave enough to jump back down. Of course I had to take some photos before helping her down. ;o)

73/365 - EXTRA! EXTRA!

Molly was in the newspaper today! ;o)

She seems to really like her Christmas gift-- a new dog bed. Maybe someday Trixie will be trustworthy enough to get one, too. Right now, it seems too risky. She just likes chewing on blankets and things a little too much...

(If you'd rather see a "real", less doctored photo, there's a black-and-white version on my Flickr photostream.)

64/365 - Trixie, Molly, Banana

It's another of those "waited too late to take my photo today" photos.  ;o)  Of course, you already knew that, as soon as you saw this blurry snapshot.  Here we have Trixie licking a banana peel while Molly eagerly awaits her turn.  (Taken with the point-and-shoot.)

27/365 - Good Golly Miss Molly

There. Now maybe Molly won't feel left out. ;o)

It was still breezy and slightly misty from Tropical Whatever-It-Is-Now Ida when Donald took the dogs out for a frisbee break-- but I don't think they minded the weather.

Editing: Cropped, Resized, Curves (to lighten), Clone Stamp (to clean up some distracting bits of grass in her fur), Vibrance (to give the grass a little more color, since it faded with Curves), Unsharp Mask, and a tiny touch of the Sharpen Tool on her eyes. I also applied a light vignetting effect.
