Nikon D200 Soup | Allie the Pug Allie looks bigger than life in this image. Pugs are small dogs, but they look rough and tough. They aren’t. Black Pugs only have one layer of hair whereas fawn Pugs have two layers. So, they get cold faster in the winter, but if they are not in the sun, they stay cooler in the summer.
The Back Story This image came from a simple click after kneeing down while walking the Pugs. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D200 Soup | Misty in Montana Misty is a spirited school horse. She has a habit of only obeying the “right” commands. She determines, very quickly, whether the rider knows what they are doing or not. If she determines she knows more than the rider, she does it her way; which usually makes the rider look like a better rider than they really are.

Nikon D200 Soup | Early Spring Pugs Pugs like walkabouts too. Spring brings warmer temperatures making it easier on the paws on a long walk. Also, spring brings many more smells along the way. For more walkabout images, go to Spring Walkabout | a 7 Image Story.

Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Husky Dogsled Huskies love the snow. They love to run and play in the snow. They would rather be outside running, playing, working, or just taking a nap in the snow than anything else, except possibly eating. As natural sled pullers, Huskies instinctively know they should pull the sled with other Huskies in their new pack. When the harnessed dogs are being attached to the sled, they are very excited; barking, jumping, and talking “Husky”. As soon the musher calls “mush”, the dogs all become quiet and start pulling the sled. As soon as the sled stops, they go back to barking and howling. Several dogs in this team were newcomers to dog sledding. With fresh snow falling, the trail had not been groomed like they typically are for races so the dogs had to break a new trail in the snow. For more Husky images, see Husky Dogsled Party | a 7 Image Story. For more snow images, see Snow Makes the Image | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story The snow shower added to the drama of a simple click image. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
