Tasha and Tommy pics.. (Way too many)

Ok so I was going to go outside with the camera and take a few shots for people requesting them, and I ended up taking wayyyyy too many. Majority are of Tasha because she has endless energy even when it's warmer out, whereas Tommy boy gets hot quicker and wants to come back in. I was throwing sticks for Tasha, she loves to try to leap and catch them.

Some of the pics are different sizes because some I thought looked better zoomed in but cut out more of the background so they wouldn't be too huge.. anyway hope you enjoy, and sorry so many :o

I'll start with Tommy boy.

Running after the log I just tried to throw. It's hard to see the log cause it's camoflaged some in the tree line but you can see the shadow of it slightly in front of him :p.

Working on de-barking the log.

It looks like he has a bug on his nose but it's actually a little piece of bark from the log that somehow got there lol

Catching the stick I tossed to him

I just LOVE this one.. his eyes are so gorgeous. You can also see his crooked lower teeth. That's the treat pouch in the corner, he was pushed right up against me hoping for a treat :)

And that's it! I tried to pare it down to just my favorites but it ended up almost all of them were my favorite :D

Yay!! Awwww, your babies are too sweet. They are so cute with their logs!

http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/...207/tommy4.jpg
I love this picture of Tommy. What a cute expression!

The last picture is adorable, Jess! What posers!! :D

Wonderful pictures! More please! :)

Woo Hoo!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I now have my Tommy and Tasha fix :D

They are beautiful. I love Tommy and his logs..sooooo funny and Tasha is such an action super star. You take the best action shots. Fantastic!

What are you talking about. Too Many?! What?! Did you forget where you are? Hello?......lol

They are just beautiful, Jess.

Hugs....Robin :)

They are both so cute and really look like they are enjoying themselves. I love the pictures! What type of camera do you have?

Yay!:D I've been waiting for these;)

Tommy is gorgeous. I love his shiny fur. And Tasha is just too cute!:D

Thanks for sharing the pics!:)

Those are so great! Tommy looks so pretty. I love his beautiful feathered tail. And it was funny to see him carrying his log. I always love to see Tasha, of course. Those of her up in the air are so cool. I love the first one with her ears flying. She looks like a prancing horse in one. So cute. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments all :). I had just meant to snap a few, and ended up with a good 40 shots, which I pared down to what I posted here :p.

I just love watching Tasha run and jump. She's so fluid in motion and it makes her so happy.

That log Tommy has is a newer one, one he hasn't totally de-barked yet. Both of them LOVE to strip the bark off of sticks and logs.

Cass, my camera is a Sony Cyber-shot (DSC-S75, I think the model is 2-3 years old now). I've read how some people don't like Sony cameras but I have always really liked ours :)

The way Tasha runs and jumps sooo reminds me of Mickey! :D

Loved the pictures! They are both so gorgeous. :)

My two favorite pups!! :D

Aww... I really missed seeing pictures of your two. They're gorgeous.. especially that Tommy boy. ;) He looks so handsome in the grass.

Thanks for sharing them, Jess! :)

Great pics k9soul! You take the best action shots! Love all the jumping ones of Tasha. You need to get that girl a frisbee.:)

And I just love that Tommy. I'd snatch him from ya in a second if I could.;)

Par...

What gorgeous pictures of the two of them! I must say I adore your yard it's huge!

That Tasha is quite the jumper isn't she:D

And Tommy, what can I say? He's stunning!

I have thought about that before. I hadn't tried a frisbee up to this point because she has never really been truly interested in fetching other toys, like balls. She will chase after it, and sometimes pick it up, but then lose interest and drop it. I think the reason sticks grab her interest and keep it is because she simply loves to chew, strip, and break them by chomping down on them, so when she catches one or fetches one, she is immediately rewarded by getting to chomp on the stick. All I have to do to grab her interest again is pick up another and she is ready for more. In some of the pictures, you might notice little bits of bark and sticks on the ground around her. That's mostly her work. Tommy usually sticks with logs :D.

I thank you all again for the comments, it is such a wonderful feeling, having others admire your furkids :). I think they are both beautiful, but in totally different ways from each other. Tasha is so lithe, graceful and deer-like. Tommy with his luxurient red shining coat and deep soft eyes. Oh how I love them both!

These are such wonderful pictures, I just love seeing pictures of Tommy and Tasha!! Such beautiful, beautiful dogs!! Great action shots!!:D

They are so gorgeous! What wonderful pics of both of them! :)

Tasha is adorable, and I love Tommy's coat, and both of them with the logs! Lol.

We need to see them more often. :D

-dies of cuteness overload-


A majority of Tasha is always fine with me! And there's no such thing as way too many, silly goose!

I just want to scoop that Tasha girl right up and give her hugs and kisses!!

Tommy is beautiful as well. I love his coloring. He has to be the cutest GR i've ever seen. His coat just looks so healthy and it looks like it's as soft as silk. :)


Thank you sooo much for sharing... and feel free to do it 50 million more times with 10 times the amount of Tasha. :p :D

Robin you took the words right out of my mouth!! There is nothing that PTers love more than looking at pictures! These were so good! I am amazed at how many good action shots you got! I have only gotten a few of my two because I think I am too uncoordinated to handle the camera and get a good shot at the same time - lack of eye/hand coordination or something! :rolleyes: LOL! I loved each and every picture but I have to say this one just made me stop in my tracks.

Tommy looks awesome here - just like he should be on a Golden Retriever calendar. (Tommy, Mr. June! LOL!) Please don't EVER apologize for posting lots of pictures. Your two are just gorgeous and I love to see them having so much fun! :)

Great pics of your two beautiful babies. Tommy and Tasha are so similiar, in their actions, to my two!

Thank you thank you and thank you again for all the compliments, blushing over here :).

Pam I really like that picture too, he looks so majestic and just a model golden in that pic :). It's not often I get shots of him without a log in his mouth too :p.

Chocolatepuppy, I'd love to see some pictures of your two. I know just looking at your sig, Lacey and Mandy have reminded me of my two, retriever (though not golden) and mutt. Lacey looks like she has a lithe smooth build like Tasha. Mandy of course has some resemblence to my boy too, being of a retriever variety. Anyway, would love to see and hear more about them! :)

Gorgeous!!!
I just love them!

Not way too many...way too few!!!:D Tommy boy, it was nice to see you be the first to take a bow sweetheart:) You're such a handsome boy and one look into those big, brown eyes reveals the gentle, loving soul that lies within! You melt my heart, Tommy Boy!

Tasha baby, our little baby "fawn!" What a life loving, joyful, precious pupster you are! I can't look at you without smiling...ear to ear!:)

Love and hugs and kisses to T&T!!!:)
