chihuahua whisperer

Eddie sends his humblest apologies to his beloved Dixie and assures her that he was running FROM those mean chiahuahuas, not to.

But he says after seeing Dixie's eyes turn green, he's no longer afraid of moose. He's afraid of jealous girlfriends!

Eddie must be a fast little guy. Probably was pretending that the moose was chasing him again! Your pics are so much fun! Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! A couple of you asked about Jack. He is above such horseplay with hyper dogs. He stayed away from them, and they left him alone. A couple times he had to stand up for himself and fake an attack, but that seemed to do the trick.

The Canon Image Stabilizer 100-400 ... I love it even though I haven't had much time to play with it yet. Can hardly wait to really try it out.

I love the shots of Eddie and Jack and find that Yorkies are much more animated with some distance between them and their humans! Also want some good shots of the deer and elk herds. We will see!!

Yes, yes, try it out! I can't wait to see the pics. One tip: The longer the lens, the faster shutter speed you'll need for a clear picture. So shoot on the sports setting, or the shutter priority setting at 1/400 or faster. And since you promised to read the book, I know you know what shutter priority is! LOL.

Just practice and have fun!

Thanks, Mike!! Any tips will be appreciated .... I will need all the help I can get! My biggest problem right now is learning to use it without the tripod ... that sucker weighs a ton!!

Good point. You might look into a monopod. Easier to haul around and it gives you better support than hand held.

Great shots Mike ~

Eddie is such a good boy! And Mike, as usual, your pics are awesome!

I'm sure Dougal would say Dixie's scarier than any old moose!

I'm always amazed at the Fauna you've got at your local dog park! Do Eddie and Jack roll in Moose poo!? I know my two monsters would.
