12 Step Program for Digital Camera Abuse (pics)

Someone should really take this camera away from me.
I swear I’m addicted. Just can’t seem to stop taking pics.
Too much instantaneous gratification I think. I can snap
away to my heart’s desire and see the results right on the
spot. Keeps spurring me on, trying to get the *perfect*
picture. Evidently an unattainable goal for me, because
I keep clicking away. I think Oz and Murph and Maddie
are secretly organizing an intervention. ;)

Anyway here’s the results of my latest photo frenzy.

Decided to give Oz a bath, even though he really didn’t look
Or smell like he needed one. Figured it’s been at least 3 mos
So he was due one.

During

After

Looking all poofy. Guess he had more dirt on him then I realized.

But Wait... That's Not All!!!

Oh Oz - gorgeous as usual!!!

Oz with his ball. He likes to pop’em, so he can carry them around then.

Oz pawing his see saw, wanting me to put down the dang camera and give him his treat.

Checking to see if he missed any crumbs

Maybe with both paws on the board, I’ll get double the treats

But… But… Wait… That’s Not All (Heh! may be forced to throw in some Ginsu Knives)

Oz and I met up with my best friend at the park, Friday after work. Tons of ducks and
squirrels, which Oz more or less ignored (Murph says next time it’s his turn, because
nature is apparently wasted on Oz. Image that, not chasing a squirrel. How clueless can
you get?!?!?!?). Evidently for Oz things to need to be moving fast and in more of
Flock like formation. Some birds flew by us and he jerked the leash right out of my hand
chasing after’em. No pics of that unfortunately, but here’s a few I got from the park:

With my best friend. Giving her the Collie Nose Nudge

This one came out kind of blurry, but I love the gleam in his eye, right before he’s going
to jump on her

Watching the ducks. He didn’t even bark at’em

That’s All Folks!!!

Can I have him?

HehHeh... I could never part with my babies. Murph and
Maddie are wrestling me for the keyboard to type out,
"Where can we send him?";)

Thanks anna! Oz says he can live without the "during" part.:)

Thanks prima! Mickey's stunning too. Gotta love those Lassie
type dogs.:)

Hey Foam!

No need to worry. Seems to be an endless stream of pics
with no end in sight of a certain Collie and hopefully
of another cute Collie too. ;)

hiya Dogz!

He really poses for the camera doesn't he?

Most of the time outside he's in constant motion and the
camera always seems to click right after he's out of the shot.
I end up having to put him in a stay and then I use my
free hand to get him to look where I want. So I guess he
does sort of pose. Maybe he was a fashion model in a previous
life.:)

Aw thanks goldenretrluver! I'm always drooling over Molly.
I'd love to have a Rough, if not for all the grooming worries.

Par...

Great pictures of gorgeous Oz!! :D I so enjoyed looking at them, thank you for sharing!

........please do keep on clicking away! :D
