Happy 10th Birthday, Zoe!

Believe it or not, I actually have been doing some shooting over the past few months, but I haven't exactly been quick to make the time to edit them.  Hence this post for Zoe's birthday being posted a month and a half late!

Zoe turned 10 years old on September 11th, which seems impossible to believe. As always, we spoiled the dogs with treats and toys in honor of her special day.  I have been lazy about taking photos of the dogs' birthdays the past few years and I really regret it, so I made sure to capture images of Zoe's birthday this year!  So please allow me to share some photos of my sweet fur babies with you.

Waiting patiently for their first bag...



Hmmm, what's in here?...




Love this one of sweet Lexi...



Such a little goober!...




Hey, somebody open these for me!...


Waiting for a treat...


Mmmm! More treats...



The birthday girl...


New toys!...


Who me?  I'm not about to destroy this ball.  I don't know what you are talking about!...


These photos crack me up, and I couldn't resist posting a collage of them all...


Sweet birthday girl...



Another bag of goodies...



What a goofball...



Oh yay, another toy to destroy!...



Tug!...


One more of the happy birthday girl...


As always, thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blogosphere.

Sweet Sisters

It is so hard to believe that Zoe's 10th birthday is right around the corner and then Lexi will turn 10 years old in December. These two have been the best of friends since I adopted them all those years ago. I love the bond they share as sisters! It's so much fun watching them play together.

I never know what I am going to get when I bust out the camera to take photos of them. Sometimes Zoe does better sitting for photos and sometimes Lexi is the perfect poser. Sometimes both of them are little hellions and won't stay put and very, very rarely both of them will sit and stay in place like perfect little angels.

Today was one of those days where Zoe kept popping up at every turn. I'd get them both in place, pick up my camera and I wouldn't get more than a shot or two fired off before Zoe would come running towards me.  So I had an awful lot of photos that looked just like this one...
 
I managed to get her to lay down for a photo...
Oh but look, she's back up again...
It's a good thing she's so adorable!...
And so is her sister, Lexi!...
The dogs really do love chilling in their yard...
Cuteness Overload...
I finally got her to sit still for a few minutes...
But not for long!...
These two hooligans bring me so much joy and happiness. I am so lucky to have them in my life!
Who could resist that face?...
Or that one!?...
I LOVE this one of Lexi...
And this one of Zoe...
Whatcha lookin' at ZoZo?...
I took about a zillion photos of Zoe and Lexi running toward the camera, but by the time I was shooting these it was a little too dark. I had to crank my ISO up to 8000 and even then I still had to lighten them up in photoshop quite a bit. As a result, all of these photos are grainy and some of them are a bit out of focus. However, I just couldn't resist how cute and silly the pups looked in them so I decided to post some of them anyway...
Poor Zoe just can't keep up with Lexi no matter what she does! And she never has been able to. Zoe has to outsmart her to catch her since she can't out run her!

If you made it this far, thanks for stopping by the blog!
