i shot this little guy several weeks ago in the midst of the pre-Christmas madness, so it’s only this week that i’ve managed to get his images finished and his gallery up. you might recognize him from a couple of my winter images already up on the blog. 
meet Dexter … i call him Little Dexter, since i shot him in the same week as Big Dexter the german shepherd. Little Dexter was a blast, from the second i walked in the door … all happy wiggles and energetic bouncing, ready to go. and go we did … we headed off to the dog park under glorious skies …

… and Dexter loves the dog park.



but even after over an hour at the dog park, Dexter’s energy hadn’t waned in the least …

he was still as raring to go as ever, although we did manage to get in a few somewhat more sedate shots …



but Dexter would have still bounced into action if anyone had uttered the word ‘park’ or ‘walk’, i’m quite certain. here Dexter was watching the ducks in the back yard … i’m sure – given the chance – Dex would have have loved to give those ducks a run for their money.

thanks, Ariel and Dexter for the fun afternoon. i hope you enjoy your gallery.

These are all incredible! My favorite is the shot of Dexter totally airborne. Are you using “Igor” on your action shots?
Oh the airborne shot is a definite fave! Love them all.
