Recently in Roxy the Dog Category

So Wednesday, after shooting video of the bluebirds, Roxy and I set out for the south end of the Paunsaugant Plateau in the Dixie National Forest. I took both the still and video cameras, but really enjoy video and did that for the most part. I've edited things down, but still have over 6 minutes, so decided it was best to split things up into separate clips. You'll find a couple of birds (and lots of bird song in the background), butterflies, a certain dog we know, and more. Enjoy!

It is hard to believe, but Roxy's 11 now. She moves a lot slower, but when I come home from work, or wherever I've been without her, that tail wags with the same zeal as always. We've traveled together the width and breadth of this land - looked for birds together from Florida to Alaska and she's gotten her feet wet in rivers, ponds, lakes, streams, and oceans just about everywhere we've been from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

She's just a great ol' dog, and she's my pal . . . 

It continues to act like fall 'round here with lows consistently in the mid to high 30's and it won't be long until we'll be through swimming until Spring. So why not another video of the ol' girl having a little fun at the reservoir. As you can see, she's great at fetching, but always puts up a fight over who gets possession of the ball. I think she expends as much energy doing that as she does swimming. Have fun (we do)!

Here's some video from this morning (the file is about 10 megabytes) of Roxy doing what she loves to do more than anything:

The weather is still not the best though a warming trend is supposed to begin tomorrow - and I've come down with a nasty cold just in time for my days off. Fun.
