These photos were taken during my trip to New Zealand to meet the puppies for the first time, October 2007. As you can see, all three were utterly gorgeous :) |

Christmas photos all taken 11/12/07 |
Still, we did get a few printworthy ones :) |
Taking Christmas photos of the pets has been a tradition of mine since we first had Nelson - I originally used them to create Christmas cards for Nelson's breeder. Since then, I have started making them for all my 'doggy' friends, and of course for Porter's and Josh's breeders. It's one of the small things I can do to say 'thank you' for the great joy their dogs bring me throughout the year. |
Josh and his pond |
As you'll no doubt have gathered by now, Josh has something of a fascination with water - mostly manifested by covering himself in it! I'm told this is a genetic trait passed down through his mother's side :) |
"BONSA!!!" |
As far as I can tell, the aim of the game seems to be to leap into the water, and then out again, as quickly as possible, all the while racing round the yard at full speed with a toy in one's mouth (preferably a toy that can be squeaked incessantly the whole way). Of course, it's simple common sense for any humans to stay out of the way of this doggy race track! |
"You can't get away that easily!" |
"We have lift-off!" |
"Coming in for a landing!" |
"And I'm outta here!" |

Josh and his Apples |
Note: Puppy + newly sprayed bathroom walls... not a good idea (4 months, 3 weeks old) |
After a few weeks in the yard, Josh discovered our apple tree - with it's many puppy-sized, easily within reach and apparently very attractive load of 'toys'. Despite already having a yard full of toys, it seems the humble apple is far superior, and thus it is not uncommon to look out into the backyard and see a black tri puppy racing with, throwing, catching, chasing and pouncing on said fruit. |

Just kickin' back and relaxing with my apple... |
