It may have been raining cats and dogs all day but I had a chance to spend a day with a bunch of dogs and NinaS at the dog agility event in Ridgefield WA.
I've been to agility trials before and they are just a bunch of fun to watch but a chance to shoot with Nina was even better. Now I will tell you it is not the same to be there with a camera as sitting in the bleachers. Don't let anybody tell you it is easy. Thank goodness I shot digital instead of film because my credit card would be maxed out and only a few keepers to show for the effort.
There were all kinds of dogs.
Small dogs were there who thought they could fly.
and some who did even without wings.
There were big dogs too.
I can't forget the furry ones,
or the ones with really, really short hair.
No matter what they were all going really, really fast.
and they hit the ground running.
They blew through the chutes.
But no matter what they all had smiles on their faces.
And, so did I.
Thanks Nina for letting me join you and use your fast camera. But most importantly you taught me a lot.
