Comet plus

I thought you might like to meet our dog, Comet. He is a three year old Doberman Pinscher--the ninth one we've had. Our first was Max, a show dog. The last ones before Comet were Donner, Blitzen, Dasher, and Prancer, . You may sense a theme there. Donner came to us already grown and named, so we just continued. Comet is the best one since Max. Amazing since I found him on line.

He likes to sit this way on the top step of the deck surveying his kingdom

He's very well built and probably could have been a show dog, but I was finished with that game years ago.

Here he's doing his tough dog trot.

Dobermans come in black and tan like Comet and also red and tan. The reds could easily be mistaken for deer when they run through the woods, so that reminds me to show you our resident deer again.

This little guy is somehow easy to tell from the rest. He says he's still the cutest one, just like he has been since he was very tiny.

Here's the whole gang. Click to make them big enough to see.

P is for a Pair of Painted Buntings and one Pretty Pincher

Okay, I know I've gone overboard, but I just couldn't choose. Each pic has a different expression or a different story to tell. Painted buntings really are non-pareil. This is one species where there really is a big difference between the males and the females. The young males look just like the females their first year too.

All the ones you see bands on are ones that returned from last year!

Just checking

Hope that wasn't too many for you and that you clicked them big for detail

Just two pics of our wonderful Comet. He will be three in July.
