Camera Critters ~ Gunner & Whiskey


Hosted by Misty over at Camera Critters.

I took these Thursday while we were hurrying to get the leaves and branches out for pick up before the first snow which is predicted for Sunday and the city is supposed to start picking up Monday. These two just wanted to play though and kept running through the piles of leaves, In theory that sounds fun, but it literally takes all day to do a 1/2 acre and I get real tired of starting over! LOL, they finally settled for the soccer ball and each other’s company until we finished.

Camera Critters ~ Sweet Whiskey Sour


Hosted by Misty

I took these a few weeks ago when the weather was still warm and I was baking that day so had the door open (yeah I know we need a storm/screen door here still). My sweet little girl does NOT like to be relegated outside! She waits patiently, well sort of patiently for me to click my tongue which is her signal to come back inside.

Camera Critters~My 2 favorite Characters~AGAIN


My 2 favorite characters – AGAIN!!
Whiskey brings Gunner the toy to play with (she never learns).

He is vicious with her when it comes to toys, but he never hurts her.
He just rarely lets her win, he has the strength of a 300 pound man.

Proof in case the above and below photo.

At the end of the day it was okay since their big brother came to visit and they knew that meant it was okay to be on the couch with him – it’s the only time, so I don’t know if they were happier to see him or be on the couch LOL.

Gunner still won’t give up the toy f the moment!

Whiskey decided maybe the ottoman was okay too.
She was just being too cute so I let her stay.

Camera Critters~baby Whiskey

6 years ago this next week hubby gave me the 2nd best (I’d say 1st, but I reserve that for my engagement ring all those years ago) birthday present, our sweet little Whiskey. I had always, and I mean always wanted a golden retriever. So this little runt was my birthday present from hubby in 2002. She is real little lover and a definite fur child. She left the classification of dog the minute I held her.


She didn’t particularly like where her bed was located.


She’s happy with it here surrounded by her toys.

She thought she’d try the lazy girl’s way of playing.

This was her favorite hiding place when her big brother was in the house. It took them a while to warm up to each other.

Camera Critters ~ Sady the beggar

Who can resist critters? Come join us and have some fun.
You can get more information at Camera Critters.

This is Sady. She’s 10 years old. Her momma must have met with an ill fate as I found her and her 2 sisters abandoned behind my garage in 1998. They were only a couple of weeks old. I raised the 3 of them with baby bottles and mush food. Sady grew on me and begged to stay. I found great homes for her sisters and she settled in to our household like she’d always been there. After all she’d been hand fed so she expected to continue to be!

Forgive our subfloor for showing, but we haven’t done these floors yet. Sady truly believes she’s entitled to people food and hubby indulges her every whim. He’s taught her to sit up for her treat.

Camera Critters ~ Gunner & Whiskey ~ Summer Fun

Gunner and Whiskey wanted to share their summer fun pictures.

Whiskey and her favorite toy.

Gunner doesn’t go anywhere without a toy and he is giving us his poor, pitiful me look.
Here he has his favorite soccer ball or at least what’s left of it.

Gun lives for his pool in the summer!

Watch out, that tongue is as strong and quick
as his tail that clears the coffee table in one swoop!
Eventually Whiskey just wants to go inside and call it a day!

Camera Critters ~ Inside trying to get out!

See this little guy, he’s a directionally challenged hummingbird, roosting in the rafters of the garage?
He’s not supposed to be there. He’s a little confused.
Hubby went to put the truck away and found this little guy trying to
get out of the garage through the skylights and not succeeding.

Hubby got smart and went out side to get one of the branches we’d just
cut to give him a sense of familiar and Voile it worked.
He willingly hopped onto the branch and let
hubby guide him to the safety of outside.
