Well, it’s been some time since I have posted photos, and even longer since I have taken Nash out with my camera in hand. Those who know me well know that I have been more than stretched thin this Fall, and I rang in the New Year in a less than favourable way. But, with final exams done and dusted, and 2018 underway, I have decided to spend this year doing more of the little things that bring me the utmost joy! And so here are a few photos of me looking at my puppy in a different light, appreciating all his little features and quirks, and giving him some adventure time that he deserves after hanging in with me through what seemed like endless weeks of serious cramming! I love you my Nashy Boy!

Puppy Paradise
With about an hour to spare after a busy weekend helping temperament test these little ones, I took out my camera (even though I didn’t notice it had the wrong lens) to snap a few shots before hopping in the car for the long drive home. It was short… but extremely sweet! I always love my trips to Petawawa!
The Big 0-2
Happy Birthday to Nash’s sister, Molly! We are so fortunate to have watched her grow in the last 2 years, and it is great to see our pups play and bond with each other! Molly has already done some amazing work in the Obedience and Rally ring, and she is such a sweet, loving girl!
Meagan and Osman welcomed us into their new home a few weeks back, and here are some shots of the pups – and Paisley, the cat!
Family Fun
My sister is home from her time abroad in China! We missed her so much, so we took the opportunity on this sunny Saturday to visit friends, run errands, and make a stop at the beach!
Bushwhacking
I haven’t really taken the camera out much since it’s been sunny and warm here in Canada. So we went on a walk to the field near home, which has since been cut down! This short shoot ended with a nice bath for Nash to cool off, and a blow dry/tick check. I couldn’t resist taking some before and afters – his little body looks huge after a blow dry!
Bring On Spring
Nash and I went for a walk yesterday – if you can believe it, this spot is in our neighbourhood. Through the winter it can sometimes be icy to get to. The snow has melted so we ventured out, but yesterday (though the sun could deceive you) the ground was solid, and the air was crisp with gusts of wind chill! The shelter of the trees makes a world of difference for me, though Nash could do with either condition! Here are some shots from our late winter walk by the ravine.

“Growing Up Portie”
Nash just over a year old is looking very grown up these days, even stacking with his tail up on his own! Yippee!

We didn’t make in into water trials this year, though that doesn’t mean we will stop practicing!

King of the Bruce
Still working on Nash’s recalls, so the leash is becoming an eyesore – but he was still king of the Bruce Trail yesterday!

Nash was good for me in the bath today – finally growing into his nature as a water dog.
