My Ball. No, My Ball: Day 69

Posted by
Claudia (Illinois, United States) on 13 July 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Tripp (my sister's collie) and Sage (her friend's Golden) enjoying one of their doggy play dates. I went along with my sister today and took a bunch of candid photos of Tripp and his 3 Golden Retriever friends romping in the backyard.

Cool action shot! I love collies.

13 Jul 2009 10:07pm

@Chris Parr: Collies are great, aren't they? We had one when I was growing up and that is why my sister has one now (actually, she had another Collie named Clyde but sadly he died 18 months ago at the age of 5. He had a seizure disorder) And on that cheerful note, thanks for the comment, Chris. ;)

Even dogs act like kids! LOL Great capture.

@mats: Yes, even dogs act like kids but unfortunately, we can't put our kids in a crate if they are acting up. :) Thanks for the comment, mats!

Barbara from Florida, United States

What a smile I had when I saw this. I adore this image Claudia. Seeing them play like this, they're like children.
Funny to see their noses together like that. A great shot.
