January Assignment Different Perspectives.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Happy New Year all. Do you realize this is the beginning of our 3rd year and we have 334 members? Loads of photos under the bridge to mix metaphors. By a slim margin from our few responses it seems the vote is for different perspectives this month. Pictures taken at ground level, from a dogs perspective, up, down you name it because in the end we all enjoy seeing good, interesting or different things. For a change I actually started this today. I'll put some photos in a reply since I'm sure you get tired of seeing the same thing on every page and it takes up response room.

Thank you, Anne! :)

Needed some stress relief...this is my perspective on my way up the lift for snow tubing! (It was good stress relief till I wiped out and now my back and neck hurt! lol)

[Linda and "Toby"]

It looks like so much fun!!! (Sorry to hear about your neck/back - lol!) You have no idea how much I could use a snow-tubing stress-relieving day activity like this right now. I would honestly give someone a million dollars if I had it, just to let me borrow their tube for an hour. Ah, well, I'll just close my eyes for a few minutes and try to imagine I'm there....

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'd recommend a massage : )

[Linda and "Toby"]

YES! A massage would do me a world of good. And we have some fabulous spas here in Vegas. Great suggestion, F! (And a lot safer than flying down the side of a slippery hill - LMAO!)

[F, Calla & Luca]

This is the only way I'll see this perspective, thanks.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Yup, me too F. 

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

I feel your pain with the neck and back.

I am not accustomed to being on the wrong side of a dog but I definitely got on this dog's wrong side and THAT is a whole new perspective for me! My hubby, Dakota and I were taking a drive in the nearby foothill country. On one quiet country road, we saw a herd of goats sunning themselves. I told my husband to slow down so I could take a picture and to my surprise when I raised the camera, a dog rose out of the herd and became running toward us--he was not at all happy and urged us on. I wanted to stop for a better photo but there was a car behind us. (My husband would make a lousy photographer's assistant (SMILE!))

[F, Calla & Luca]

A good guard dog though.

[Linda and "Toby"]

Aw, he was just doing his job, I guess. He sure is cute - and BIG!

[Diane Margetts]

I have heard before that (sheep-guarding) dogs become part of the herd and they have no real human contact because they would stop protecting the herd if they become attached to humans. Don't know if that's true and if it also applies to "goat dogs". Dakota's breeder had one llama. She said the lama would protect her sheep but if you get two llamas, they will protect each other and not bother with the sheep anymore . . .
