Camera - broken?

The camera battery is not charging. At least I think that is the problem with the camera. Will try to get a new battery tomorrow during nap so the picture taking can continue!

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. We did.
Peace,
Wendy

Dog Daycare Photos Thanksgiving Morning!

Happy Thanksgiving to each and all! A special thanks to Emma for working with me this morning. We had a good time together - Emma, the dogs and me. It was reminiscent of early YLD days before so much staff! You rock Emma! We also need to thank Emma for taking photos this morning. She did a great job in a short amount of time. There was very heavy fog around this area of town and it took a long while to burn off. The photos weren't any good before the sun's rays hit the play yard.

I hope everyone had enough to eat and had a great day! Enjoy the photos.
Peace and thanks,
Wendy


Sunset - November 25, 2009
Mindy thought this was SO inspiring she took the photo (one of several).

Quatro in mid-bark. I think she looks like an elf! Maybe she's channeling for the holidays!

Kacey intent on the pesky squirrels.

Ladybird and Apollo hanging out in the warmth of the Thanksgiving morning sun. The day started with very thick fog around YLD so we were all glad for the sun's rays!

It looks like Alix and Gracie are having a hug fest! They really liked each other and played lots. This was the cutest photo!

Action shot of Alix and Gracie with Roxy watching.

Khumba and Sammy having a rousing game of jump towards each other.

The doodles aren't missing South Beach. They are having fun staying in Raleigh!

More fun...

And even more fun. Raleigh Rocks at YLD when the family is away!

Playing games.

And running, jumping, chasing!

Photos 11/24

No one have a fainting spell or other dramas - I actually am getting the photos on the blog THE SAME DAY. Yup, I'm trying to get back into the GOOD habit of photo cropping and publishing. The grey weather interfered with the photos. I'm afraid we're having some problems with the camera again. I can't tell if it is operator error or if the camera is just getting tired. We've had it a bit over 18 months and it's taken almost 10,000 photos. Do cameras wear out with that amount of usage? Does anyone have any ideas.

Anyway, heads up folks, there is an upper respiratory infection going around. We've spoken with four vets in the area and they have seen an increase in this ailment over the two weeks. It doesn't seem to matter where the dog goes the germs are out there. So, be VERY CAREFUL. Don't bring your canines to YLD if you hear any type of coughing or clearing of throats. Our pack has seen five confirmed cases and each has had to be treated with antibiotics. We are cleaning as much as possible but this is an airborne disease so there's not a whole lot more we can do. Thanks for not spreading the germs.

Peace,
Wendy
