The climate here in Greenville has allowed us to hang out outside a lot more than we would have been able to back in the frosty wonderland that is Ohio.  We picked up a longer lens, so we get to get up in the doggies’ faces without actually getting in their faces — this is a particularly good thing because it means that there’s less tongue/nose interaction with the glass we’re trying to shoot through.  Anyway, examples of both of the above can be seen in the pictures posted here.  For reference, apple peels seem to make pretty good environmentally friendly doggy play-things.

It should probably go without saying, but the doggies will, naturally, do doggie things.  This sometimes involves trying to eat each other, sometimes trying to dig holes in the yard, and sometimes, generally just basking in the sun.  Examples of all of the above are not difficult to find, even in the course of just one afternoon.*

*In case you happen to be paying particular attention to naming conventions on those gallery pages, please don’t let the absence of NovemberII disturb you — I ended up combining a gallery to make life “easier.”  Or something.
