Thanks Julie, this is the second winking shot I've gotten of her (without knowing it) and I've never actually seen her do it IRL. (I had the vet check her eye out after the first shot I got LOL). I guess when you take thousands of photos of a dog you are bound to get a wink here and there.

"For a Dachsie, 7 is still a puppy. Look in those eyes and you can see she's just warming up to life."

That was the best thing you could have said Jim! Thanks for that. I don't know how I'd make it without her so we are having the most fun we can every minute possible...literally! But it's scary to think...
Boy, that Rowdy is really something. To just say hi thru a fence with a doxie that barks at him normally is huge. I don't know too many big dogs that would do that! Good guy.

Doesn't it just fly by PeggySue? Seems like we just get them and suddenly you are feeling faint at the sight of all the grays in their muzzle LOL. Yep pity the people who can't love like that. Even though we do pay a very high price for it in the end, there is nothing better while it's here.

LOL Emmy love the name, WB. I call Hallie, Hallie Berry Butt all the time. The lighting was two strobes with umbrellas, the first 2 had a backdrop, the rest I was experimenting to see how the strobes would work without backdrops. I was moving them around to test things so am not sure on these just where I had positioned the strobes. But usually I have them both at 45 degree angles although I have also been playing with having one straight in front and the other to the side. I just did a shoot with my niece (first human, although somehow Hallie got into many of the shots) and tried using a window for the main and filled with one strobe and they turned out pretty good. Fun to try stuff.
