That's a pretty cute dog, Kristy. I got attacked by one of those once (I think it was mostly pit though). Apparently, when you glare at them... they don't like that, so the bite you in the butt.... lol

Yeah.. it's scary when you worry about the Pit part.... but we got her from a pretty solid breeder that has a lot of dogs on his property. He breeds for a certain look, and for a certain temperment.

I was nervous when he opened a kennel and let out this HUGE 120+ pound dog... the thing was bigger than me.... And he came over an jumped up on a picnic table and sat down next my youngest daughter and just sat there. He'd run around for a minute and them come back and sit at her feet. I think he was protecting her because she was little.

Anyway.. they have a great reputation for being kid friendly... and every dog this guy had was totally calm.... She's been great all afternoon. We just put her to bed and she's whining.... I think she misses her siblings now... yikes...it's going to be a loooooong night. My husband will cave... and let her out of the sleeping crate... and sleep on the floor with her. Guaranteed. LOL!

Hahaha! Well, if he does... you have got to get a shot of that! lol

That's great that she's so good around your kid. It always amazes me what kind of affect kids can have on all sorts of things.

What time does the gathering usually happen? I only knew of the pavillions in like scottsdale/tempe area there...I will definitely need to check this one out...which I'm sure I'm missing at the moment. but there's next weekend.

I'm sorry for not posting the time.

It usually starts around 5ish pm.

Hot weather I get there around 7.

It was a great turnout last night (Saturday). Someone showed up with a brand new Dodge Challenger. First one most of us had seen.

If anyone is interested in what a new Challenger looks like.

AHHHH!!! The Challenger! I remember seeing that at the Thanksgiving car show a couple years ago. Such a beautiful car. I didn't realize they were already out.

I've gone to the bike gatherings at the Pavillions a few times. Depending on the time you get there, and the weather, it can be a lot of fun.

Lots of fun is right. If you like cars, old or new, try one of these FREE shows.

Oh I bet! I would be one of the ones drooling as well. You still got some great looking shots of it though.

Such a cutie! How exciting. Don't cave in!! The last time we had puppies, we would get down and lay on the floor next to their crate until they fell asleep and then go back to bed. They stopped crying after a couple of nights. But then there is the 2am dash to the back door to let them out to go!
I love puppies!

Busy day at our house... We brought home a new "Baby" after much negotiaton...

Meet Molly.... The American Bull Dog (no she's not a pit...) She looks larger in the photo than she really is... maybe 20 - 25 pounds for the moment...

You can see more of her here if you're interested... http://ksnyderphoto.sm​ugmug.com …565_eLTUf#32183​3565_eLTUf

Kristy! She is so adorable! Congrats on the new addition, i'm sure your girls are thrilled

Kristy, congrats on the new family member, Molly is a good looking dog! she looks strong too, those legs look like tree trunks! the girls will be riding her around in no time!

Cute dog Kristy.


Working on photos from the weekend....
Taken after the NPC Show.

She did fantastic! She placed 2nd her class and 4th in the Jr. Masters. I'm very proud of her to say the least. She didn't expect to place as this was not a natural show. Not to say everyone is on the juice or anything... but... that door is open for others to walk through.


Canon 5d
Canon 70-200L IS

ISO 125
F/11

Single medium softbox about 4 feet away.
My meter stopped working on me so I have to wing it... pretty pleased with some of the shots... would have been nice to use the meter.

Shot in Chandler AZ... around 11 a.m. Bright and sunny to say the least... but this is what happens when you sleep in. ROFL

Thanks for looking.

Nice shot hatch. I feel u on the 11am shot. Sleeping in is what I do best .

OMG Hatch... I do not want to piss her off... she could kill me! lol Nice shot though.

WOOOO!!! We got our first Monsoon storm today!! Not much rain yet, but anything is nice. And to go with the storm... it knocked out my internet for a while.

Beautiful shot Hatch!
