More dogs than you can poke a stick at, er, throw a stick to.<br /><br />Mr Bucket was bitten by a little white fluffy Maltese on the way home from drunkenly carousing with our extended fam a few blocks away. He went for a tetanus shot and informed the council. This savage fluffball lives in the front yard with no operational gate, and hurtles out to terrorise passersby. The council guy says a criminal family live there (obvs) and they will pay the fine promptly as they don't want to be on the radar.<br /><br />Teddington is so like Yarraville - Dog central!Helen Balconyhttp://castironbalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-15060664864506232672012-07-30T19:19:07.244+02:002012-07-30T19:19:07.244+02:00Louise, I'll hopefully try again and put the r...Louise, I'll hopefully try again and put the right setting on this time.

Even point and shoot cameras often have sports settings, which is very handy for photographing things that move at random- I first used to need it with my nephews- I got sick of taking photos of the grass where they had been! now I use it for all sorts of things.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-37526059998450435002012-07-30T12:20:56.358+02:002012-07-30T12:20:56.358+02:00Thanks, Pandora.

I do put my camera on 'sport' but had my little one on me - the SLR can do a much better job but is bulkier and heavier to lug around, so I don't tend to take it when I'm traveling.MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-84407699461501116822012-07-30T09:51:56.170+02:002012-07-30T09:51:56.170+02:00I love dogs too but we don't have one anymore ...I love dogs too but we don't have one anymore due to a lack of fences and us often being away. I wouldn't like the picking up of their deposits. Ours was trained to go into the neighbouring scrub.I love all the names and Colin the Schnauzer had me giggling as I have a pain in the neck friend called Colin. I like the chocolate labrador best. Photographing dogs and kids is very hard especially with a point and shoot as their is a slight delay between pressing the button and the camera shooting. Try putting it onto 'Sport" for fast moving objects.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-32720776585374387522012-07-30T00:01:26.305+02:002012-07-30T00:01:26.305+02:00Wonderful post.Wonderful post.Pandora Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582255671962095503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-12676379538318424192012-07-29T17:14:54.875+02:002012-07-29T17:14:54.875+02:00Anji, you're spot on.

Would you like to be photographed while doing what comes naturally. (no, I don't mean dancing in the kitchen)<br />They're all beautiful dogs, but their penchant for rolling in smelly stuff is a little bothersome. Do they all get bathed as soon as they arrive home again? A once a week bath can't be enough to keep a dog smelling clean, can it?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-7731444779832340612012-07-29T02:39:05.318+02:002012-07-29T02:39:05.318+02:00Teddington, as immortalised in Benny Hill's &q...Teddington, as immortalised in Benny Hill's "Ernie The Fastast Milkman In The West" with his rival Two Ton Ted from Teddington (who drove the baker's van)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-20019039267797529902012-07-29T01:03:31.629+02:002012-07-29T01:03:31.629+02:00Lovely, lovely dogs.
