My dog Micky - {Emmett, Idaho Photographer}

Forgive me...these were shot a couple days ago and I'm just now getting around to uploading them.

My dog Micky. What can I say about him? He's such a lovable and kind and high spirited dog. Just like most dogs, he LOVES the car rides, the dog treats and bones, and of course loves when company comes over.

Micky is just fun to watch. Most days he is more entertaining to watch than TV. I swear that he's memorized commercials. Seriously! He will attack any commercial that has an animal in it, not just dogs but ANY animal. He goes nuts during the Mucinex commercials...ya of all commercials he doesn't like the green boogers LOL. He growls like crazy during the ADT commercials, I guess he thinks that the bad guys are going to jump through the TV and attack us. I have never seen a dog stretch as much as he does. And it's not just a quick stretch, he reaches out so far and stretches so big and long. Sometimes he'll stretch just like the yoga pose "downward dog" and then just plop his butt down. Too funny. He attacks my slippers all the time (well, they are doggie slippers so I guess I'll give him that one...but it's still entertaining). Watching him play with his bones are just as funny to watch too. No matter how big or small or chewed down his rawhide bones are, he'll fling them everywhere. So you gotta watch out when he's in his playful mood because you just might end up with a rawhide being thrown in your face.

I was sitting outside one day on my back porch just shooting away at the birds enjoying their fresh bird seed that I put out for them when Micky decided to join me. I was surprised that he didn't try to go play with the birds; as he usually does, but this time he just wanted to sit with me and enjoy a nice crisp day.



After a bit I decided to take a drive around town to find more hot spots for my photography. WOW...I LOVE this town!! So many beautiful, old, rustic places....can't wait for spring to get here and start shooting my clients at these locations!!! Of course I had to take Micky with me while out on the town. But here's the story...he is afraid of the lens glare. I tried to turn and get a few shots in of him sticking his head out the window but he'd jump back in as soon as he saw the lens glare. I was just about to give up shooting him while enjoying his car ride when I saw it! I was shooting something that was coming up to my path when I saw Micky pop his head out in the side passenger mirror. I took aim at the mirror and he snuck back in. Grrrrrr. I give up, put the sunglasses back on and just watch where the places were that I was being led to. I decided to try once more with Micky but this time using the live mode on my camera and he didn't know any better. Going against all the rules of photography, I took aim at the outside passenger mirror (which was extremely dirty), and tried to focus through my sunglasses and the sun glaring and caught it! It's a dirty and unfocused shot, but I love it!
