“A dog is like a person — he needs a job and a family to be what he’s meant to be.” ~Andrew Vachss

Beginning in January of this year, I began a weekly photography project with my muse, Victory!  I will continue to share this project on the blog!  I have also been documenting Victory’s milestones so to speak each month — you can read these here!  I think that it is fun to document all of Victory’s changes, while preserving fleeting moments and memories.

On a recent day, Victory was sitting in her ‘hut’ playing with her toys and chewing on them and I was able to photograph her while she remained in her ‘hut!’  This girl loves to chew — thankfully, these days, she is mostly chewing on her own toys and not other items, i.e., our belongings!  She has already dismembered and pulled out the stuffing of many of her furry friends — chew toys!  She is currently going to town on this cigar toy!  I really love capturing our little fur girl!  Enjoy some photos of Victory below showcasing her licking and chewing away on a new toy, a teddy bear!

Happy Monday!

Over the weekend, we decided to drive to Delaware for dinner!  Since the weather was so nice, we could take Victory along with us and eat on the patio.  She loves to ride in the car and she loves adventures.  She even hopped in Doug’s lap while we were driving!  Victory was a hit at the restaurant!  Everyone came up to her and admired our little beauty!  Victory had a great time with us!  Some photos from dinner are shown below!  We look forward to many more outings with our Victory!

Happy Friday!

Doug happened to leave the laptop on the sofa, and Victory hopped up and decided to go to work on the laptop!  Victory told us that she does e-mail and she is pretty good at skyping, too!  This images of Victory below reminded me of this image of Biscuit.

Happy Friday!

Victory loves to eat with us especially if it involves her getting food!  Whenever we eat at the dinning room table she wonders from side to side in the hopes that we will give her some food!  We know that this is a bad habit — to give in and give her food as this just reinforces the fact that she gets what she wants!  When we eat in the kitchen, she wonders into the kitchen in the hopes of getting some treats!  She loves when we go out to eat and take her along with us!  She is getting more confident and she knows when we go out to eat she will get some goodies!  She even used to be afraid to come into the kitchen and now when she smells Doug cooking, she has no problem coming into the kitchen and sniffing around hoping for a treat!  On Sundays, while Doug makes breakfast, Victory gets Siggi’s vanilla yogurt and she licks it up in no time flat!

Below are some images of Victory when we went to dinner at Wegmans recently —  We wish that we had more dog friendly restaurants near our house!; and an image of Victory getting ready to eat her vanilla Siggi’s yogurt!  However, Victory does not mind where we go as long as she can come with us (and get some treats)!

Happy Friday!

Below are some recent photographs of Victory at the dog park!  She loves going to the dog park and sniffing around!  Hopefully, the temperatures will cool off some so that we can take her back to the park again soon.  Since Victory is covered in fur, she warms easily!  Isn’t Victory looking so fluffy and pretty!  Doug says everyday that, “Victory is the most beautiful sheltie girl ever!”  I agree!  She is blossoming more each day!

Happy Wednesday!

Below are a few images of Victory in our bed waking up in our bed!  Okay, she really does not sleep on her back all tucked in, but she humored me and Victory let me pose her on a recent weekend morning, when we had good light coming into our bedroom!  Of course, Doug thinks I am nuts when I have these photo ideas using Victory, but he is always happy with the results and smiles when he sees the edited images!  Thankfully, Victory is so patient with me when I am photographing her and I think that she had fun as well!  I think that she is really getting used to the camera, and she is a perfect muse like our Biscuit.

Wouldn’t you want to wake up to this furry goodness each morning?!  We do!  Victory is just adorable and we love her so much and she is really coming into her own and filling out with her sheltie furs!  Doug and I are so happy that we found love again after Biscuit, who is always with us in spirit.  Victory has been a true blessing to us and we think we have all bonded and we are Victory’s pack!  Victory is our fur girl and she brings us so much joy!  We are certain that Biscuit sent us the ‘right sheltie!’  Truth — Victory does sleep with us every night and she usually sleeps above one of our heads and the headboard and she sometimes goes between sleeping above our heads at night as well!  I love waking up to her each morning and receiving all of her love and kisses.  I love our ‘tuck-in’ routine as well.  She is always so excited to go to bed!  Recently, we noticed that she likes to go upstairs to our bedroom during the day to rest on the bed!  I guess Victory has an affinity for our bed — well, more like her bed!

Victory is going to miss her Daddy as he is leaving for overseas today for work; and I know Doug is going to miss his fur girl as well!

Enjoy the fun photos of the ‘morning faces’ of our little Victory below!  Isn’t Victory adorable!

Happy Monday!

Last week we got a new car, our first SUV!  My car was getting old, and for a few reasons, we decided it was time to get a new car.  Once we settled on the type of SUV, options, and color, etc., the dealer needed to get our car from another dealership in Maryland.  So, the evening we went to buy and the see the car for the first time and trade in our old car, Victory hopped into the SUV and she did not want to get out, as pictured below!  We think she knew it was hers!  She approved!  Victory has made her mark in the new SUV as her sheltie furs are everywhere!  Fortunately, her furs do not cling to the material too much making for easy clean-up, when needed!

Happy Thursday!

Victory went with us to visit Doug’s parents and to pick up our furniture for our new home!  Victory did really well in the car both ways — a long car ride.  She wore her seat belt and she sat in the front seat!  Victory had a good time on her trip, even though changes in her environment and routine are not easy for her — she loves her routine at home and she even puts herself to bed (in our bed) when she is ready!  We took Victory to the pond several times as she really loves the water.  Doug is going to order her a life jacket before we leave for vacation this summer and we shall see if she will go into the water!  Victory just loves to look at the water — she is memorized by it!  We sat with her by the water and she was very happy!  Below are a few photographs of Victory taken at the pond and at the park for a walk (where we had wonderful light) where she walked 1.5 miles two nights in a row!

Happy Friday!

Below are my two new favorite photographs of our little Victory!  We have been having such nice weather here!  We recently took Victory to Centennial Park for a long walk.  Victory did very well, and she walked a long distance with confidence!  We were so proud of her especially since the walking tail was busy!  We stopped by at a scenic area at the park and I took these photographs of Victory, below!  I think that I will title them Heaven.  Victory was so, so happy!  Needless to say, Victory slept very well after her outing and exercise!

Victory is going on a road trip over the long weekend!  She loves the car.  We are not sure if she is more excited while in the car or when we pull into the driveway into the garage while she watches the garage door go down and then we let her out and she runs between the cars all over the garage!  Who ever knew a garage could be so fascinating to a furry friend!

Happy Thursday!
