A day at the (Redondo Beach Dog) Park: Cowboy, Tess & me
I finally was able to get a shot of Tess and Cowboy in the same frame (photo below -- that's just me and Tess at the left).
Cowboy's very camera shy, but I was able to fake him out using my iPhone camera.
He also was quite eager to see that Tess was getting ready to chase the ball. That means that he'll get the chance to chase her, one of his all-time favorite games.
Now all I need to do is figure out a way to include Annie the cat in the shot next time so I can finally send that "group" photo my vet's office asked me for a while back.
Think I could bring her to the park and maybe toss her into the frame for a flying-cat-with-dogs pic next time?
Perhaps not.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
