March 23, 2008Digital images of egg-hunting dogsI am not a very good photographer, but most of the images created with my Canon EOS are beautiful. I give full credit to my subjects. I take lots of pictures of dogs, and dogs just look great, live and in a .jpg file. 
Big dog, small dogs, amazingly tiny dogs in chic, tailored clothing: I photograph them all. 
Saturday, my family made tracks for Six Wags Dog Park in Salem to participate in the Great Egg Beg. Our happy hounds and hundreds of other pooches hunted for Easter eggs, posed with a dude in a bunny costume, put on a talent show and otherwise had a splendid time. I wandered around the park snapping photos while my daughter and husband tried to help our dogs find treasure-bearing plastic eggs. Alas, the eggs were not running away, so my sighthounds saw no value in expending any effort to find them. If there is nothing to chase, there is nothing to gain as far as greyhounds are concerned. They did not, however, mistake the above-mentioned dude in the rabbit outfit for the ever-elusive mechanical rabbit of their racing days. I was relieved, to say the least. The event, a fundraiser for the RVSPCA and sponsored and hosted by Six Wags and K92, was a very well-run affair and I hope it turns into a spring tradition.

Katie : →http://www.SixWagsDogPark.comHey Nona! Thanks for coming to the Egg Beg and taking all the great photos. We had a great time putting it on and were overwhelmed with the turnout! We raised about $2,000 for the shelter. Already thinking of what we can do next year!
