Wally The Griff riding around the ranch on his four-wheeler basket. Solar lights on wire reach into the foreground and lurk in the background.
Wally The Griff looking very unconvinced that his red and pink heart decorated T-shirt fits his Texas sheriff lifestyle. But, heโd do anything for his aunt so he is playing along reluctantly
Wally The Griff, AKA Sheriff Wallace P. Coltrane, makes his rounds under a huge Texas Hill Country sky of fluffy clouds.
Wally The Griff, captured in a moment of reflection while riding in a truck with his Maw. His tongue sticks out (in an onion ring shape) to try and capture the taste of the moment. Heโs quite a mindful one.
Letโs play!

Throwback pic of adolescent Banjo sitting on a large smooth rock amongst other large smooth rocks by the ocean (not visible). He is smiling/panting. The sun casts his shadow diagonally toward the camera.
Black and tan poodle sits coquettishly on the grass with his head tilted back. He is behind a vibrant pink zinnia.
Mini poodle wearing snoopy pjs is standing in the driveway with a yellow-green leaf pasted to his face.
Mjni poodle with a sweater jacket is sitting on an old wooden bench with grass, leaves, and withering growth behind him. The autumn sun made for pretty glowy lighting, and Banjo looks uncharacteristically noble.
My momโs picks for pics. I donโt think they are the best photos of me, but she says they show Iโm her VIP. (Editorโs note: Verified Impish Poodle).
Happy new year, friends and passersby!

I didn't start this year feeling too hopeful
It wasn't until I started gardening again, with the goal of switching over to #nativeplants, that I remembered: small changes have big effects and curiosity isn't just for kids
Thankfully photos remind us of the lessons we learn

Wolfie, the 2.5-year-old Elkhound is sitting on a gray sofa cover with messy blankets in the background which he absolutely wasn't throwing around right before this picture. He is black and gray with pointy ears with pink centers while he looks intently off camera with soulful, yet judging, brown eyes, he's wearing a royal blue collar with silver hardware. His fluffy fur makes him look huge and the paw he has resting on the sofa arm looks gigantic in perspective.
Wolfie the, nearly 3 yr old, Elkhoud sits up in the back of an SUV lit by the red brake lights of the car in front of us at Chipotle's too convenient drive up window. He is normally black, gray, and white with handsome brown eyes but in this light just looks demonically possessed (in the cutest possible way, of course)
Wolfie, the 2.5-year-old Elkhound lying on his back with his mouth open in a huge, toothy grin. Wolfie's front paws are curled up near his chest and his back legs splayed in "airing out" position with his curly tail stretched out a little and curling back under his back paw while he looks off camera. He is joined by his russet colored retriever friend Piper who is grinning and lying on the floor with him at daycare.
Wolfie, the 2-year-old Elkhound is in a pool splashing as he swims while guided by a trainer who has his hand on the yellow life vest Wolfie is wearing in the water. He has a look of concentration on his face as he figures this out. He is black and gray with pointy ears with pink centers which are pinned back slightly.
Without sadness, there is no joy but seriously, 2025 has been desperately sad with the loss of many loved members of our dog community, and all shocking losses of Croutonia including Diane. ๐
But, Wolfie learned to swim and brightened every day with his shenanigans. Happy New Year!๐ #BestPhotos2025
Happy New Year! Lucy & I wish you all peace, health & many new happy memories created in 2026. I couldn't decide on 4 photos, so here is Lucy sitting at the kitchen table waiting for breakfast. #BestPhotos2025 #NewYearsEve #Goodbye2025
Charlotte, a small, thin white poodle mix with a gloriously flouncy tail stands in front of a screen door facing away from her photographer. she would like to go for a walk. neighborhood walks were daily, one in the morning, one in the evening.
Charlotte, a small, elderly white poodle mix in a blue sweater and a pink and black harness is sitting in her stroller. it is a rainy day and she and her photographer are at the annual pet adoption center walk. she faces the camera bravely. today she will have pancakes and a pup cup, which will make-up for the stroller ride. she's not quite up for the full walk this year.
Charlotte, an elderly white poodle mix is snoozing on her bed and blanket. She and her photographer are on a cross-country trip and this night are staying in a motel near Badlands National Park.
a close-up photograph of Charlotte's lovely face. Wispy white hairs encircle her nots and mouth, her dark eyes are fathomless. Charlotte will cross the rainbow bridge in a matter of hours. her photographer knows this and is denying this at the same time.
My #BestPhotos2025 are of Charlotte, my best lil girl in the whole wide world who left me in early December to cross the rainbow bridge, where she's being spoiled by my mom and dad. details are in the alt text.
