Hey Don,

These are very cute. I never thought to add captions to my images. Are your guys really named McEnroe and MoneyPenny?

Hi James, thanks a lot. And I'm doing a lot of 'comics' with my dog pics.

Yep, these are J.P. Mcenroe and Miss MoneyPenny.
And in addition we've got two Chow Chows,...

... - no, it's not Hutch. It was supposed to be but there were only female puppies in this brood and so we went for 'Fräulein Smilla' (the main character in a movie).


And last but not least there is our 'Elo' (a still young breed started in Germany in the 1980s)...

...'Dirty Harriet'. Again, we wanted a male puppy and had choosen the name Dirty Harry - but there were only girls.

And to explain McEnroes name: When we came home with him (just eight weeks old), our female Pei Bagheera (unfortunately she passed away at the age of just five years) tried to 'explain' him that she was the boss - but he started barking and making a fuss until she left the room, went to the living room and disappeared on the sofa for half an hour. So, another name than McEnroe just wasn't possible. grin

Brilliant photos. The closeup of Dirty Harriet is my favorite. Great exposure and bokeh. What lens were you using?

Thank you very much.

May I ask if you mean the third of the original series or - what I assume - the close-up of Dörte?
