Does it rain much where you come from?

2010-07-26T16:02:00.000-07:00

Yes, we had some wet dubs. But our little creek was what impressed me.

I hope the Sages make it

And do you think my fence will hold up?

Funny thing is, the creek running under my fence is just runoff from the adjacent lot and the street. Apparently we need more grass in that lot...

Been a while

2009-02-09T20:01:00.001-08:00

What exactly are you looking at?

Me too BAB

2008-11-26T08:17:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry they lost too, BAB.

Ain't he?

Purdy?

Hayne!

Three Dubs go to CO

2008-06-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

We took the Dubs to CO and had a little fun playing with the automerge in Bridge in CS3. Here are a few.

We also figured out that the Dubs like snow... Extra specially BAB. "This is my snow. BACK OFF!"

BAB also likes some good luvin. He says "Look what I'm gettin'"

I know being a dog is really hard sometimes. But, sometimes, just sometimes, its nice to be a dog...

But sometimes, you get really tired.

And sometimes you got to try to find the dern trail. Silly humans, always getting lost.

It's best to mark where you've been so when the humans get lost, you can find your way back.

But when it was all said and done, Waylon was just happy to be in Ouray.

Who would have thunk it?

2008-05-22T18:29:00.000-07:00

I really didn't expect this from Waylon. Pardon the camera shakes, the videographer was having a bit too much fun.

Queen of the Mountain

Queen Double-Huh

This one was unprompted and unscripted. Walker is pretty cozy you know...

Good Dogs...

2008-04-17T11:11:00.000-07:00

Just a little canine diatribe.

BAB is good.

Having Fun Again

2008-04-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

Chillin and grillin

Got it this time - WRECK 'EM II

2007-12-08T10:49:00.000-08:00

Took off work 15 minutes early to race home, grab the camera and hit campus right at 5:30. Got some good ones.

I love how the wide angle gives the image a sense of movement.

Merry Christmas Everybody.

Honorary Dub - WRECK 'EM

2007-11-29T19:58:00.000-08:00

I was a little late getting out and just missed a beautiful sky, but these ain't too shabby.

Whuuuut?

2007-11-12T19:02:00.001-08:00

Sorry Bab...
Wrong place, wrong time.

How does a dog know if he knows another dog? Oh...

First video of the dubs!

Spotlight on Dub 3

2007-10-09T22:11:00.001-07:00

This is Winnie (or Double-Huh). Also known as Nascar Winnie because she runs around the house in a circle. We think she runs around in circles because she thinks she is so fat. "Oh my gosh, I'm so fat," she routinely yells at us as she screams past us for another lap around the house. She says it really fast though, so it sounds like "ohmygoshimsofat," and you have to include the doppler effect in that as well. I guess it would be "o h m y GOSHIM s o f a t". These are some new pictures we took while playing around with our new point and shoot (G9).

Big Bro (ICC Profiles)

2007-09-22T22:45:00.000-07:00

Don't you even think about messin with my little sis...

Standard Adobe color profile... The one that most web browsers pretend doesn't exist.

Standard RGB color profile... Web browsers also won't see this ICC profile, but it doesn't matter because it mimics the color rendered by the monitor (so to speak)

So, apparently (after a little reading) IE and some other browsers like to discard or ignore the ICC (International Color Consortium) profile embeded in the jpeg you post online. You have to convert to the profile used by web browsers to get pseudo accurate color reproduction between the picture you are editing and the picture that you see on the web browser (when doing a side-by-side comparison on the same monitor). This is done in PS by selecting Edit->Convert to Profile...->Working RGB

I tried to make the differences obvious in the above images (glance at the green in the background). Hope this helps someone...

Double Dub

2007-09-18T22:44:00.000-07:00

Another game we all play is "Where is Hayne?"
Walker and Winnie are looking. They just need to look down.

Spotlight on Dub 2

2007-09-18T22:21:00.001-07:00

Waylon is the big dog in our house, tipping the scales at 93 lbs.

That is a mighty handsome waddle you got there buddy.

Story time: Sarah wanted a chocolate lab without droopy eyes.
We got a yellow lab with droopy eyes. Ask her if she would want
it any other way now.

He doesn't know how to lay down gracefully. All 93 lbs impact the floor at
exactly the same time. It is a good alarm clock at 3 AM when he re-situates
himself.

Ain't he purtee?

Spotlight on Dub 1

2007-09-05T19:56:00.000-07:00

This is Walker.

Sarah and I each had to be the handler for one dog during the canine
obedience classes we enrolled our dogs in when they were about 6 months
old. I chose to handle Walker, because he was the less disciplined of the two. Sarah
graciously chose to handle a dog that almost outweighed her (Waylon
couldn't hurt a fly, unless it looked like Walker). We didn't have Winnie back then...
Because I was the handler for Walker, I say Walker is 'my dog' and Sarah says
Waylon is 'her dog' since she was his handler... Probably TMI just then, oh well...

Naturally, Walker is the #1 best (this has nothing to do with the fact
that I am writing this post and Sarah isn't, really it doesn't)...

I mean, he even looks like he is the best.

He even plays like he is the best

He even relaxes like he is the best.

Next time... here comes HAYNE (Spotlight on Dub 2)

NICKNAMES!!!

2007-09-04T19:34:00.000-07:00

My dogs have at least 22 nicknames a piece, but I will spare you the details. We will go with the most popular nickname...

This is 'double-huh'. It comes from the letter 'W'. We used to call
her Double-ya, and it kinda evolved (although not much).

This is BAB. Pronounced Bob. Really long story but I think I can sum it up like this
Walker -> Wabooper -> Baaaabooper -> BAB
We play a game called 'Anybody seen BAB?'

Hayne hasn't...

He has a stretchy face... Good old boy...

Dubs at Wide Angle

2007-08-29T21:03:00.000-07:00

Playing with the new lens. Here are some cool pics...

It seems that they all like to strike the same pose.

Lazy Dub Day Around the House

Extreme close-up of 'Walker nose'.

Dubs Memorial Park (aka Tech Terrace Park)

2007-08-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

DOGPILE!!!
(Waylon, no tongue!)

Did it hurt? - some idiot dog hitting on Winnie
Did what hurt? - Winnie
When you fell from heaven... - same idiot dog

No, because my daddy caught me. - Winnie

Dubs all wet

2007-08-23T18:52:00.000-07:00

So forget AJ, if they don't think photos of my dogs are web-worthy, I'll put my own up.
Here we are having a ball at the K-9 Splash Fest at Clapp Park.

I swear Walker splashes better than he swims.

but it says no diving

They had big-ole spools (for big-ole cable) in the pool so the dogs could rest and hop in and out.

Nope, I'm pretty sure this is mine...

must not want to get his butt wet

go get it!!

LOOK MOM, I HAVE WEBBED FEET!

at some point, you've got to get tired...
not sure when that would have been, they could have stayed all day.

Random dubs

2007-08-22T18:45:00.001-07:00

Went to the park the other day. Waylon sure can motor around pretty good for a dog that weighs 90 lbs.

All three dubs chasing some tall lanky dude.

Walker trying to catch Waylon's ball. It's so easy to start a dog fight that way.

Nevermind, Waylon doesn't seem to care too much. Dub, you have something on your nose.

Wait a minute, other dub... you have something on your tongue.

The other dub

2007-08-21T22:18:00.000-07:00

This is Winnie, aka. the black dog. She is a cutie. You can't have three dubs without Winnie.

I'm tired and Waylon wants back in.

GOODNIGHT!

Dubs Jumping

2007-08-20T21:53:00.000-07:00

Here are Waylon and Walker trying a jump-off. The interesting thing here is that Walker has caught a bunch of air, and Waylon??? ...well, he still has one foot on the ground (and he got the ball). Big dogs...

Welcome to my blog

2007-08-20T21:39:00.000-07:00

You may ask yourself

who are the three dubs?

I might tell you

they are my dogs!

You might also ask yourself

what is a dub?

I might tell you

dub is short for double-yew, or however you spell the letter 'W'

This blog is dedicated to my three dogs

WALKER, WAYLON, and WINNIE (listed in order of appearance on this planet, no I am not showing favoritism)
