Auggie photos!!

and a Payton or two snuck in there.
Auggie of course still lives here – he’s just usually off doing something else while I chase Payton around… so I made a special point of taking Auggie photos today.
These two are big because I love them. <3


Ahhhh Auggie stop being so cute <3


I wish Payton’s face were also in focus in this one!! It would be perfect!


Trying to hunt squirrels… I can’t wait until all that belly hair grows back in…


I was trying to show how close in size they are now but they wouldn’t both pose about the same. =P Payton is close but still a bit shorter. I’m thinking (hoping!) one more growth spurt and then he’ll be done and will come to rest just a little bit taller.


ohgod <3 <3


Family portrait? Nnnnnno.


Paytonfaec. That ear…


OMG the whiskers. They are driving me insane. I want to chop them off and clean up his profile SO BAD but Auggie’s breeder told me to leave it alone a bit longer. CAN’T STAND THE CURLY WHISKERS


Happy Auggie!


“Dude, seriously. You’re ruining my shot.” Little brothers ruin everything.

Payton + Frisbee

This is a plastic frisbee I bought at Old Navy years ago, and it’s all warped and stuff from being outside all the time. I probably should just throw it away. NO PROBLEM says Payton. I PLAY WITH IT ANYWAY.

Hahahahaha I don’t know what he’s doing.


He looks tiny here for some reason!

Just a few family pics

My auto-focus doesn’t seem to be doing a great job. I would do manual focus for posed shots like these, but my eyes don’t seem to do a great job either. ;P I took some shots on manual the other night that I thought were clear and in focus, took the card out and pulled them up in Photoshop… blurry. Bleh.


You can see Auggie’s butchered coat… I don’t know WHAT they did at the vet. They shaved off the patch for his IV, okay, but there’s a HUGE chunk missing out of his feathering on the side too. It’s like the newbie was in there with the clippers and started going nuts and Doc was like “no, no, the FRONT of the leg.”


If you look close you can also see poor Payton’s owie head… he must have gotten his ears REALLY good with an itchy-scratchy and ripped out a chunk of hair. So his ears are wild and free for a while until things heal, and then we are going to try something else to prevent this from happening again. Probably do the moleskin on the inside of the ears and tie the moleskin together again. Poor Paypay! It doesn’t seem to hurt him at all though, so that’s the good news.


Almost a nice family shot and I didn’t pose this one either.

In November we are getting pro photos done and I’m hoping to have Pepper brought in for them! Then I can have a family photo even if we aren’t all in the same house yet… plus I really want more photos of me and Pepper together.
