Growing up Fast – 37/365

I had it in mind to photograph something else entirely today (no, I won't tell you, I will keep it as a surprise for another day) but it didn't work out. The cute puppy days are naturally limited, so my camera is never far from where Joni is.  #noapologies  (I am deep in paperwork and searching through old documents to fill in lots of forms just now, so my time with the camera is limited.)

Joni is now being trained on the Invisible Fence we have, which means that I no longer have to hold the leash when we are walking/galloping around the garden. She is learning the boundaries very quickly and with a lot of wide open space, she is at last feeling free to explore without a great lump (me) holding her back. And this leaves me also feeling freer, with a hand to hold the camera again, which is a great advantage. However we did have about 10" of snow yesterday and she is finding it a bit frustrating as she sinks in it up to her neck. Back indoors there's lots to keep her busy.

Joni – 9 weeks

One more, just because everyone needs a happy puppy picture sometimes and you can never have too many puppy pictures. Especially my friend +Loraine Slessor who didn't know we had a new Joni.

Rocket and Joni – A Happy Time – 33/365

Yesterday was Joni's first day out to visit other dogs. Our friends have 4 dogs of different ages and personalities in a very calm and happy environment so it was a perfect introduction. All went well with everyone behaving themselves beautifully. Joni felt completely at ease and made friends easily.

I photographed Rocket once before last year and here you see him having fun with Joni. Joni is now 9 weeks old and growing fast.

Joni's New Toy – 26/365

Joni got a new toy on Saturday, given to her by the lovely little boy who lives across the road. Actually he brought her several toys as he is almost her greatest admirer. She is a very appreciative receiver of gifts, always playing very enthusiastically with whatever comes her way. If she could stick to her toys that would be no bad thing, but I guess at 8 weeks she still has a lot to learn.   #noapologies  for another puppy pic. Hope it makes you all smile.
