Mine are the same! Sid sqauts, Lola cocks. I can't say that one smells any more than the other.

Sid's heart rate went down over the course too! So awesome :D I have a brachy breed, so totally understand the love for those smooshy faces :) Sid can easily manage 5kms, but we only go first thing in the morning. It's definitely something that needs to be built up to over time, but I'm sure it can be done with a boxer too (they aren't as flat faced as Frenchies). Just make sure you go to a breeder who is big on health.

God, me too. I'm actually slightly panicky about it (and the vet knows it) because he's already deaf. I can't have him lose an eye!

He's got a puncture on his right eye, so the vet stitched his third eyelid across. Shaved patch is because he ended up with a massive hot spot at the same time. Bloody dog :laugh:

Same. Plus mine snore worse than any man. So they are crated in the kitchen. Works for everyone.

Oooh, I missed this. Thanks guys! And lovely to see you pop in CM :D

Ha. Me too. I would never own a working breed for that reason. I feel like Sid and I are even steven :laugh:

I would only use Betadine on the first day, it's not great for new tissue. I've had success with Curash too.

Usually I wouldn't just shoot without asking, but in this case the whole shebang was getting recorded by tv cameras, as well as DSLRs and it was an event in a public place, so I just went for it. When I took that last image, the little girls dad saw me there and encouraged her to pose for me.

It is nice when it's flat. Not so great for the surfers though!

They both had boogie boards, but they are yellow and green. I think they were mostly chucking a ball around in the water with OH anyway. It was packed down there!

Oh I wish I'd known, we could have had a coffee or something :D Next time. We were there most of the afternoon, hence the kids sleeping in until 7.30 this morning. The beach always knocks it out of them.

Go Pro got on board this year! I can't wait to see the footage.

Thank you! It's always such a happy weekend. I loved how the two little girls surfed with their dads this year On International Women's Day and all. I didn't get a crowd shot this year, but it was massive. It gets bigger each year and I swear, about half of them were jostling for position with a DSLR! I need a longer lens, just for this weekend every year :laugh: The dogs that take part in the surfing comp are really special. There's a huge noisy crowd to contend with, but they just seek out their owners like little champions - eyes on the prize. Sid would stop to chat to everyone.

Not saying you have to be younger to wear it, I'm just saying I'm too much of a dag to have even know about the shop. Oh! Well now you know ;) But I was also referring to Westie :)

Why would you have to be younger to wear it? From the image, it looks like the type of dress that would be flattering for all ages?

Dangerfield is great! I have some pug and frenchie fabric here that I am still yet to use :D

Then the main event was yesterday, hampered somewhat by a lack of surf.

The Noosa Festival of Surfing kicked off over the weekend, and as usual I headed down both days to shoot - because how could I resist? The demo was held at The Spit on Saturday, and gives everyone a chance to give SUP a go with their dogs.

Make sure you do! They are a lovely, welcoming bunch.
