an afternoon at pandapas pond

as a means of getting out of the house, john and i decided to venture to pandapas pond for the afternoon on saturday. what a beautiful day it was! the sun was shining down on us without a single cloud decorating the landscape. the cold air was brisk and chilly, but the gusting wind from the day before was thankfully gone! john and i took our respective doggies, sadie & emmy, to play as well. it was so nice to get out and enjoy my favorite pups & my incredible boyfriend. :)

sidenote: i just learned how to access the sepia & black and white features of my camera. i got some practice on this afternoon with the sepia tone; enjoy the pics!

sadie would swim out into the pond to retrieve the stick,
then emmy would take it once sadie was back on dry land :o)

a handsome boy with two happy little pups!

action shot!

john tried to teach emmy to "fetch it up!"
as evidenced by this little training session. ;)
i think she needs a few more classes!

i'm pretty sure this was right after a quick, sneaky, wet emmy kiss!

i think puppies are worse than children when it comes to pictures! it was next to impossible to get them both sitting and looking at the camera at the same time. regardless, i think it looks like emmy is smiling in every one of these pictures!

ahh- just look at the camera!
