A dog's story (long)

[cmr164]

Folks, this is a long post with a lot of linked images. If/when you reply, please trim the pics to just include the 1 or two that are pertinent to your reply.

Today's walk with me using Rutt's 1dMII, my 100-400 and shooting his dog.

Dogs are wonderful! They never give up. I used to have a golden retriever that would get three balls in his mouth. He had a big mouth. Love your shots! :clap

Ooops, I missed this thread until now. I don't think dgrin is always "spot on" about flagging new threads or threads with unread messages. Loved the story. As you can guess, I've seen this behavior before. It's great to see it captured.
