Izzy's Boos Crew

I've been wanting to do ghost dogs for a while now. It's not easy!! Two very energetic dogs, hadn't been lunged yet, very full of it................... But still a lot of fun. Going to have to find more dogs next year to try again - maybe Saint Bernards or Berneese.

Calendars!

I'm getting a few requests asking me to put a Yellowstone/Teton Wildlife Calendar together. I have 100's of images that I've never shared that would be nice in a calendar.
If you may be interested in purchasing one, please send me a private message and I'll get you on the list. I'm starting to go through them now, they will include black bears, some of our well known grizzlies, cubs, bison, wolves, fox. Once I figure out which images I can make up a sample.

I'm going to start looking for a printer, try to keep cost as low as I can. Everything has gone up the past year or so, including shipping. Of course the more that are ordered, the less the cost.

399 started this and brought me a lot of new friends. It's important not only to carry on her memory but the important lives of other wildlife as well and I'm happy to share them with everyone!

You're going to have to trust me when I say, "Don't drink the water."
On his way across the lake he decided to stop and treat it like a wallow. I mean, the water level is pretty low. Love the later evening photos, almost dark, that's when the best things happen.

Not the biggest moose but probably one of the luckiest times I've had finding one. Listening to him talk to the cow and calf that was nearby made this one of my best days ever. He was still shedding the last of his velvet, the moose rut is off to a good start.

The elk rut is starting to wind down. Wish I had the chance to get up to the mountains a few weeks earlier to see more of the interactions between the bigger bulls, but I was able to capture some really amazing images even in only a few days. Most often they were really hard to find, not sure how I found the bulls that I did, but it was worth every minute. Looking forward to more time in the mountains next year.

We wrapped up the ASCA Nationals today with the started dogs - I have to say, today was probably my favorite day. A lot of upcoming, talented dogs.

Every morning at the handlers meeting, Donna reminded everyone not only to be kind to each other, but kind to the dogs who didn’t enter this trial themselves. A new facility, new sheep, a lot of distractions…. Give them some grace and understanding. A very important message we too often forget.

All images from the sheep trials are uploaded to the image hosting site available for viewing/purchasing.

Thank you for having me! I learned a whole lot that I need while I journey down my own trialing path.

I’ll leave you with some moments that I found very special, it’s important to remember to have fun. Safe travels!

ASCA Nationals, Day 2 of Sheep Trials

I don't think I've ever seen a happier dog to be herding sheep! Indy came in and I'm not sure all 4 feet were ever on the ground at the same time. Tail up and a smile on his face. We should all be happy like Indy!

Images are being posted to the image hosting site (it is currently having system issues, hoping the company has it corrected soon).
