From my first ever rangefinder-roll. I lend a Bessa R + 35/2.5 from a friend... and got hooked.

My sister often brings him round to my Parent's house for baby-sitting. He's a bit of an unofficial grandson :D
He's sweet, dumb sometimes, but sweet.

There have been so many wonderful pictures posted here, clearly showing the joy of these dogs and the joy that they bring to us as their guardians.

My greyhound, Zoomer, the cancer survivor is doing well. I just had him out for a 3 mile walk and a couple short uphill runs. I have to say that even though he has had to give up a leg to save his life, he is probably the healthiest he has ever been since a puppy. He is now (back) on a 90% raw food diet, and is thriving more than he has in years.

He just turned 9 years old this past Monday, and here he is with his birthday present, a new teddy bear. Zoomer, the birthday boy!

And here he is just shortly after I got him almost 9 years ago. Zoomer at 9 weeks old.

"The best friend man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son, or daughter, that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and good name may become traitors to their faith. The money a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our head.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only to be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.

"When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

"If fortune drives his master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies,. And when that last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death."

--Senator George Graham Vest, speaking to a jury about Old Drum, shot in 1869. Johnson County Circuit Court, Warrensburg, Missouri

Here are my two friends Coleman and Kaleb.

"We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
-- Henry Beston, circa 1925
