I will have to get Ziva to a dog park with a large area where she can safely run and I can safely try to keep up some of the time with a camera in hand. So far, we do our travels with her on a leash and me on the other end of it. This does mean that I have an incentive to speed walk and occasionally jog or even sprint. The wild part is that if I run quickly, Ziva hears and feels it, and she will sometimes turn in mid-stride to leap at me. Evidently my running, instead of pulling back on the leash, is an indication that I want to play and roughhouse the way friendly dogs do with each other.
So, the action photos will have to wait for a suitable time. Meanwhile, after some exercise it's not too difficult to find Ziva relaxing while still alert, taking a short nap (dreams can begin within seconds of eye closure), then returning immediately to full attention.

How funny! I can just imagine Ziva wanting to jump on you and play. What fun! I look forward to those action shots. Meanwhile, Ziva continues to be so adorable and lovable. Thank you so very much for these photos!!

DeleteI can't get over how expressive her eyes are. She's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of intelligence and emotion there, and I try to show some of it as well as her beauty.
