ADOPT A PET

ADOPT A PET - this is our Major

We adopted him about a month ago and as you can see, he’s settled in with our family like a dream. Major is loveable, happy, and on cloud nine. I am surrounded with family & friends who have rescued too. Kudos!!

Adoption is the loving option... consider adoption before buying a dog from a dog breeder or pet store. Please share your story!!

Adopted!

Today we brought home this handsome dog. We rescued him by adopting this 1 year old Black Labrador from a local shelter. He is a breathtaking animal, who is now a part of your family. Right now he is little groggy from the surgical procedure that was a requirement, but is coming out of it good. No sickness, not hungry....a little thirsty though. As he walks around the house, taking in all of the smells, he wags his tail as he knows that he is finally home.

At the shelter, there were two other people that wanted to adopt him, so a lottery was held. As the shelter staff folds each paper with three different names, I sit there and am already setting myself up for rejection. The staff member announces that the lottery will begin now. I can't even stand it. So many thoughts were going through my head; along with many prayers...they reach in and pull out the winner. He calls my name! Wow, he called my name and I get to adopt this amazing Labrador.

Now I sit here at home and watch "Major" walk around and try to take it all in. He is thin, yet strong, He is groggy, yet grateful. He is now neutered, yet all male. He is ours. He is our Major!

Doggie Fun

Spending anytime at the beach is always fun...and when you add puppies & dogs into to mix, well all I can say is FUN FUN FUN. There were so many puppies, doggies, and people enjoying the beach. Dakota is playing with this puppy and having the time of his life. Every dog should go to Dog Beach!

van Gogh

On my photo quest on Saturday, I came across van Gogh...well van Gogh the pooch! The lady explained that she adopted this abused K9. And yes, he only has one ear due to the abuse he endured. She said that he might bite but as you can see I got down to his level and chatted with him for a while. He rolled around and rubbed his nose in the grass. Nice meeting you van Gogh!

What An Afternoon

This was a day of enjoying the sun, the wind, my friends, and using my camera. At first it seemed that the wind was too light, however, as you can see, lift-off was for sure!

What a view it was.

I was able to take lots of photos of these precious pelicans flying by.

No words

Checkman

We miss you buddy!

Patient Souls

I can sit for hours waiting to get a glimpse of one of these elegant birds. I wonder if the egret and I are alike? Both patient souls. He watches me, I watch him.

Hare

This wild hare's eyes are deep.

Stretch

Trachemys scripta elegans

This is a juvenile Red-eared Slider turtle was sun bathing on a rock at the Fullerton Arboretum, Ca. The turtle and I were watching each other for a while. And as you can tell, he (or she) got comfortable with me being around, as he layed there stretching too.

Oriole

This black and yellow bird was enjoying the view at the UCI Arboretum. I need help with the identification of this beautiful bird, as I am far from an expert ... I just love to photograph them!! The muted sky was tuned out by setting the highlight on high, so the rich colors of the bird would come through.

In Flight

Nature was plentiful at the wetlands.

Heron

I can hear the birds singing and the leaves crackling as lizards scatter off, while I wander along dirt paths in the sanctuary.
I was rewarded with plentiful views; however, this heron was bliss. This great one landed on the top of a pine tree. We watched each other for a while...
