St Patty's Day Practice

Today we have a few more from Janet Giarratano. Rubin, of course, but Tango got in the fun this time.

It's March now and they were concerned about being fashionable so they broke out their St Patrick's Day hats for a test run before the grand celebration of the day.

First we have Rubin, Janet assures me that he thinks he looks cute.


 






Tango modelling the hat she's selected for the occasion.













And once she had the hat just right Tango decided to practice some of her favourite beer drinking songs.

A Little of Asia (part 2)

For the next couple of posts I will share with you some photos that came from other members of my dive club. We have some great photographers, both underwater and on land and some of what they shared with the rest of us is truly beautiful.

All of these ones were from our amazing trip organizer, Angelo. He takes some really beautiful photos.

Tiny sea life, it's about the size of a fingernail.

What's' a dive trip without a sea turtle?

Big, ugly fish.

Reghiz Is Growing Up

Today we have another youngster to take a look at. The young fellow is named Reghiz and he belongs to Sandra Riendeau. Reghiz was a Christmas gift from Sandra's husband after she lost her 14 1/2 year old girl Chyna.

Chyna was a pretty lady
From Sandra:

"Reghiz is now 15 weeks old. Safari is a 2 1/2 year old South African Boerboel, we drove to Minnesota to ger her when she was 14 weeks old after we had to put our Mosley down due to Lymphoscarcoma.

Safari and Reghiz are tied at the hip.  Where you find one you will always find the other.  He will not eat unless his food bowl is next to Safari's. If you move it to a different spot he will just sit where it should be and stare at you as if to say "how dare you put my food somewhere else!" and will sit there until you move it back.

Safari is so patient and kind to Reghiz which says a lot for her temperament.  Reghiz can be quite the handful, he never leaves her alone at all.  He is in Puppy kindergarten right now and is quite the star.  After the first night I thought "I cannot bring him back he will get kicked out", but he has been very good ever since.  He just  wasn't used to seeing and being around so many puppies and just wanted play like all boxers do.  He is the clown of the class.

He was potty trained at 8 weeks old and knows sit, down, paw, crawl, leave it and settle down (this one took some work to teach him  but he does it now).  I call them the Yin and Yang of the house.  They are quite the pair and the never seem to stop playing."
