The (Foot)hills are Alive

May 2021 With seven dogs (well, six at the moment – one is on the road being shown), it sure is nice to live in a part of the world where they can go on a couple of nice, long off-leash walks a couple of times every day. The foothills just a couple of miles from our

Happy Dogs

We just love spring around here. So nice to have longer daylight hours, actual colors in the landscape (other than just brown and gray). And of course, the dogs seem to love it too! I’ve been on a few walks with Mrs. Whip and the pups over the last several weeks. Of course, I had

Snow Day!

February 2021 In mid-February we finally had a big dumping of snow! Friday night and Saturday morning it just snowed and snowed and snowed. As usual, the dogs didn’t seem to mind! We (carefully) drove to Eagle Island and snapped a few photos, which wasn’t easy, since I had to keep a flexible cover over

Golden Summer

September 2020 Even with their fluffy fur coats, our dogs still find lots of ways to have fun when it’s hot outside. I’ve accompanied Mrs Whip on a few recent walks at Eagle Island or nearby parks, and shot photos of them enjoying playtime. I hope they make you smile!

Puppy Love

April 2020 Well, we recently had not one, but TWO litters of puppies, just a week apart. Fuzz had a litter of ONE (!), and Jelly followed with eight (!). So, nine cute little fuzzballs here at the Whip’s. Now that they’re venturing outside into the yard, I’ve been shooting a few photos of these

Our Dogs Sure Love the Snow!

January 2020 We had our first decent snowfall of the season overnight, so this morning Mrs. Whip and I took a little walk at the nearby park with the furry grandchildren. As you can see, they always love to play in the snow! And it sure made for some pretty backdrops for their photos. As

Cooling Off in the River

August 2019 Last night Mrs. Whip asked me if I wanted to brave the mosquitoes and bring the camera along to Eagle Island State Park, to shoot some photos of the dogs playing in the river. I really hate mosquitoes, but thought it would still be fun to try to capture some shots of the

Mikey’s First Walk in the Snow – and More Snacks!

December 8, 2018 Over the weekend we had our first snow of the season here in the Boise area, so of course that meant taking a walk in the foothills with Mrs. Whip and the furry grandchildren. Mikey (now six months old) hadn’t been in the snow before, so it was a new adventure for

Our Dogs Love Snacks!

October 28, 2018 Mrs. Whip sent me a link the other day to the fantastic work of German photographer Christian Vieler, who has produced some incredibly fun images of dogs having snacks tossed their way. I thought it might be fun to set up a little studio in my man cave and see if we

Golden Evening in the Park

October 25, 2018 The leaves in the trees have been just beautiful this fall, and our weather has been exceptionally nice the last couple of weeks. As I see the days getting shorter, and the forecast ahead looks to be getting quite a bit cooler (no surprise there), I decided to take off from work
