There’s my puppy.
Scout’s seriousness doesn’t let me see the puppy that she was ten years ago.
But there she is.
Tail pointing old age to her left?
It went that way.====>

52 Weeks for Dogs :: 6/52 That Way
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 5/52 Kong Flippin’
When Scout plays in our yard, she has a favorite “go-to” toy.
She holds the Kong rope in her mouth and whips it, flips it, roundhouses it around her head.
She creates her own little world of mayhem.
And loves every minute of her snorting, huffing, whirly-gig trip.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 4/52 Head-on
It’s rare on a walk with Scout to snap a photo of her whole face. As you would think, it’s mostly nose to the ground, tail in the air and the quick “check-in” glance to make sure I’m still in radar distance. The opportunity for this photo of her full-on face materialized because she had to check out a dead bird downhill by the water. I caught her with the telephoto on her satisfied return. Head-on.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 3/52 She’s Serious
Scout has always been a serious dog.
She can be goofy and playful, but her every day expression is Serious.
When I look at her face, I sometimes feel inadequate and silly in my human-ness.
Then she’ll pounce on a toy or eat snow and she is a fur-child again.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 2/52 Camera Tolerance is Low
Camera shy is not the right term for Scout. Camera averse is a little too strong. She tolerates the camera, as long as it doesn’t impede her list of things to do.
In this photograph it is clearly interrupting the throwing of a ball.
Camera tolerance is low.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 1/52 Hi Girl
My first photo of a year-long photographic project with Scout.
It’s fitting that we’re hiking in the woods, where she’s the happiest.
And always a look back to see where I am.
Hi Girl.
Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 46
It’s been hot in my little part of the world.
So I’ve been swimming often.
It’s my favorite thing.
(Psst… take a look at my webby toes.)
Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 45
I am wise.
I am brown.
I spy with my little eye…
everything green.
Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 44
The whiskers are a little grayer.
That spot on my nose is a little pinker.
But look into my eyes…
They seem to know a little bit more.
Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 43
I like being in black and white.
Once in awhile.
And if you’re going to take my picture this close,
I will put my nose on it. Every. Time.
