T's playing catch in between the rains

[K9soul]

I swear I think MN randomly turned into Washington State this spring, with the constant rains! It's starting to seem unusual if it doesn't rain at least once a day! We had about an hour this morning when it wasn't raining, and took the pups out to catch tennis balls and I thought I'd have David throw a few and try to get pics of them jumping. Hope you enjoy!

Actually, this one is from a few days ago, but I thought I'd throw it in because it's cute. They were waiting for me to throw the ball.

Tommy looks like a goof when he jumps, but he's actually gotten pretty good at catching the ball!

This one is funny LOL, he actually did catch it though. David tends to throw them really high, then they bounce and Tommy leaps to catch them off the bounce so it's actually traveling upwards in this pic

Of course, Tasha got in on some of the action too!

Then we went out and enjoyed the rain a bit this afternoon.

That's it! Sorry about the varying sizes. I didn't crop them very evenly :o

[deegayle]

[manda_moo87]

Aw, great pics Jess! I especially loved that last one of Tasha, so cute! :D

[luvofallhorses]

Cute pics :D

[finn's mom]

I love your dogs! :)

[chocolatepuppy]

Great pictures! What great action shots! Your pups are adorable as always! :)

[deegayle]

Hey lovofallhorses,
your cat is almost the spitting image of Rock. I thought i was staring at his double!!!

[rkidsrcats]

Very cute pups - we too know how important it is to play ball...again and again and again and again...:D

Whadya mean Tommy can't take the skanky stick in the house???:eek:

[KYS]

I loved the action shots.
Your camera takes beautiful pictures.

[Rachel]

I too loved the action shots. The first one you posted of Tasha is my favorite. What athletes your two are! I really enjoyed these pictures because *playing ball* with a dog is one of my most favorite things to do in the whole world.

By the way, what a lovely large yard you have. Lucky you...lucky dogs.

[wolfsoul]

Great pics! :) Tommy and Tasha look so pretty in the rain. I dried a golden at work today and he reminded me of Tommy.

[CagneyDog]

Aww Tommy and Tasha are so cute.
I never realized how big Tommy is! He's one big Golden!

[dukedogsmom]

Great pics! They made me laugh and that's good because I am stuck at work and it's busy. We should just call Tommy your log dog. They are both so cute and I love those action shots.

[shais_mom]

my favorite T duo! ;)

Great pics Jess - as usual!

[Vette]

Great shots of them! :D

my bridge girl Muffin loved to ball and jump up and catch the ball too. one time she jumped so high she splatted on the ground and looked around as if saying 'who pushed' LOL

[gemini9961]

Those are great action shots. I like the one of Tommy with the piece of wood....nothing like a little tree bark in your diet, lol.

[RobiLee]

Oh boy!!! I am so happy!

Awesome pics as always, Jess. Wow, you really know how to take great action pics. The Double T's look like they are having so much fun. Thanks for sharing them with us. It always makes my day when I get to see your two furkids.

[animal_rescue]

Aww, there so cute!:)

[Ginger's Mom]

What great pictures. :D That sure looks like a lot of fun. I know Ginger would have loved to have been there too (come to think of it so would I).

[cyber-sibes]

Those are really great action shots!!! I really enjoyed them. your pups are beautiful!

[wolf_Q]

Those were some wonderful pictures! I love the action shots! The first one is really cute too.......they are all adorable. That rain is doing some good...your yard looks really nice and green! ;)

p.s. What kind of camera do you have? It takes nice pics

[Oggyflute]

Great pics Jess, they are getting some serious air time there.:D

[Bigyummydog]

They are both gorgeous...I love TOMMY's coat, so pretty...And sweet little TASHA is "stripey". I do the fingernail thing to MAXIMUS too.

[K9soul]

Thank you all so very much, I'm very glad you enjoyed them :)

CagneyDog, Yep Tommy is a very big boy, those pics of him jumping really show his size :D

Amy, My camera is a Sony Cybershot. I've had it for about three years and really enjoy it!

Bigyummydog (sorry I can't remember your name at the moment! :o), Tasha loovvveeesss when I run my fingernails along her sides. I bet MAX does too :D

For those who like seeing the yard/plants/garden, I have tons of pictures of that (as well as a few more of the pups) on my web page that I do for family and friends. You're welcome to check it out, there are quite a few pictures up right now :). Thanks again PTers! (You may have to give it a minute or two to fully load if you go to the web page)

[anna_66]

Needless to say those are some AWESOME pictures!!!!

The action shots are my favorites, but that one of Tommy standing on your back porch in the rain is priceless:)

Thanks for sharing those I really enjoyed!

[K9karen]

Beautiful cuties-so photogenic and expressive! I also LOVED the action shots! They're terrific!!

[K9soul]

Ok this fairly off topic but since I mentioned our deluge of rain here, I figured I'd tack this comment onto here rather than make its own topic (plus it's not all that interesting I'm sure! :p). I just went to look at the extended forecast and here's what we have!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/k9soul/Spring%202005/weatherforecast.jpg

Looks like the wet season is here to stay for a bit! At least the temperatures are lovely!

Thanks again for the compliments and I'm so glad you've enjoyed the pictures, as I truly enjoy sharing them. Anna, I really like that picture of Tommy enjoying the rain too, so glad I caught that shot!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Aww.. there's my favorite Golden boy! :D

I KNOW I've said this to you tons of times.. but that Tommy is such a stunner. I don't know what it is about him (besides the fact that he's a gorgeous Golden ;)) but he really does tug at my heartstrings. If you were closer to me I think I'd have to go snatch him from you. ;)

Tasha is such a pretty girl.. she's one of the most photogenic dogs I've ever 'met'. She always seems to have such a soulful, gentle expression on her face. What a sweetheart.

I loved all the pictures, Jess. I could never get sick of seeing your pups!
