Shaggy Dogs and Summer Soltice

An old sepia toned photo... (while trying to compose this on June 12, blogger stopped allowing me to download my photos in the "Compose" editing style, so I had to figure out all the HTML stuff and swore a few dozen times.)




I admit this is within a year old, and as those bluejeans show, it's just edited to look a bit sepia. Not a true sepia photo. But, when shaggy dogs come to mind, Cody is who we have to share. Cody is the grand-dog in my Ohio family shown here with granddaughters!

And here's the star of the family in a portrait.

OK, I'll look for some older shaggy dog photos.

Below may I introduce my son's friend, Barry and his dog, Lucia, with my son Marty on the right. They were attending a Renaissance Fair in the Tampa FL area in 2018. Since that time, Barry has obtained a puppy to keep Lucia company. I want to say some kind of Sheep Dog? Please correct me if I'm wrong. 
(Thanks, Eileen, Burmese Mountain Dogs sounds about right.)


And here's my daughter-in-law, Barbara with the two pups (who really belong to Barry)

Love of a shaggy dog from Sepia Saturday this week.
And sharing with Saturday's Critters too this week!

And another of my grand-dogs...here's one that's not exactly shaggy...Zora. She's a Blue Tick living in Colorado, where I visited in 2019.



And happy Summer Solstice to all my pagan buddies! Just the longest day of the year, my friends!

  8. Blogger photo upload has been very unpredictable lately in my experiences as in yours. I've found that if I wait a while it restores itself, except in the new interface on the iPad which has not worked for me so far. I'm hoping they will debug it all soon.

    Nice photos!

    be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

  11. Your "Blue Tick" looks like what we would call a "Blue Heeler" which is an Australian Cattle dog. Great photos.
