I had to stop shooting...

[Richard Crowe]

I took a flop last Saturday and hit my ribs on the threshold of a door.  It just knocked the breath out of me and didn't cause any serious pain at the moment.  For some reason, five days later, my right ribs began hurting so badly that I had problems holding my camera and flash (5D-Mk2 camera, 70-200mm f/4L IS lens and  600EX flash).  I had to quit today after portraits of three out of the six doodle-like puppies we recently rescued.  I will shoot and post the last three in a day or two.  These are the three I shot today...

Adele...

Allie...

Ariel...

Judy,  a retired Registered Nurse, asures me that the ribs are not broken or fractured, just bruised.

Wonderful images of these adorable pups. I really like Champ's scruffy look.

Two absolutely adorable pups, Richard. It must be very hard to resist keeping most of them.

Here are the rest of the puppies.  Two girls and a boy...

ANGIE

TUCKER

[Richard Crowe]

Tucker has just been adopted by our daughter and son-in-law.  They have several of our rescue dogs but all of them are getting older now.  

The great thing for Judy and I is that we know exactly what kind of home that Tucker will have and will be able to follow Tucker's development from a puppy to an adult dog...

Congrats to your daughter and son-in-law and lucky Tucker.  You have to post pics as Tucker grows so we can all see what he ends up looking like.

Here is Tucker with his new mom and dad and brother and sister.  My daughter says that she is going to make Tucker the mascot of her business...

Little Tucker is as mellow as he looks in this picture,,,

We have been getting a deluge of applications for the five girls.  They are all wonderful puppies but, there is just something about Tucker that makes him super great!
