Zoom Zoom!

Look who it is!

Finally we had a day with minimal amounts of rain so I could take the camera to the park. Well, I guess I could take the camera in the rain too...but generally speaking, cameras and rain don't mix well.

Obviously it was still quite wet - as you can tell because Dazzle is SUPER-POOFY.

Dazzle's fur sticks straight out when it gets wet, thus the super-poofing. Poor girl. She has fat hair.

I have been working on my technique for low-light photos (for places like, um, Seattle). I have particularly fallen in love with panning for running dogs. Thanks to the knee, I can't quite get low and still turn smoothly to take the photos at longer shutterspeeds, but not bad for a first try.

It makes it look like she is going roughly 287 yps doesn't it? (haha! Yay for totally random numbers!)

In other news, Dazzle has totally fallen in love with her pink-really-loud-squeaky-thing that she has had forever and never before taken interest in.

She can't catch it worth a darn, but she does love it...

"Oof"

Dude, seriously. Work on your mouth/eye coordination.

Better....

Ah! Wait for it...

...wait for it...

OMG, I think she is actually going to CATCH it!!

That's more like it girly.

Oh yeah, she's proud.

We went to a USDAA trial awhile back.

Unfortunately we couldn't run (curse you knee!) but I was able to take some photos with my newly learned technique. A couple highlights:

And a quick knee update:

PT is going great so far. Many times I find the exercises are not challenging enough and am able to do significantly more then what they originally asked for. I guess that's a good thing. And except for my hamstring - which still annoys me a bit - I feel as good as new. But I am not as good as new yet. Arg. I want to just go outside and RUN but my physical therapist (would that make her a PTist?) says we won't do that until about 4 months post-op. I am just about 2 and a half months out now. *sniff* Still a ways to go. I want to hike, run, climb, and play with my doggies dang it!

Okay. Deep breaths. Approximately just 47 more days until I get to start jogging.

That's about, what? 4,060,800 more seconds? 4,060,799......4,060,798..........4,060,797.......4,060,796......
