My dog is a bit territorial and a bit crazy. She will sit quietly all day, waiting at the window for someone to approach if you let her.

Sometimes it takes closing the blinds to distract her. She’s a good dog, just not that bright.

For those new to this blog, this is my dog Gracie. Gracie is a 6-year-old shepherd mix. Gracie is a bit crazy. Trying to make her the subject of today’s photos was a bit of a challenge.

Here is why:

I had no idea we’d be doing action shots today and was completely unprepared settings wise. Gracie is typically lazy outside, lolling in the sun. I guess the camera made her decide to show off.

The best photo I ever took of my dog was a few weeks ago:

But no, she ran and ran and ran. I finally tricked her a bit by standing on the other side of my wood gate.
