A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Annie Doppelganger!

 

So I was watching the latest series of Master of Photography on Sky Arts this week and the assignment was to photograph a series on images portraying transgender. Each entrant was allocated a subject to follow around, and this particular subject had this dog as his pet... I took one look at the TV screen and thought - that looks EXACTLY like Annie 🐶

How totally bizarre is that?? Given that even in this country she is a rare combination of breeds, bred by the Guide Dog Association to pacify those wanting a GSD as a guide dog, they breed a GSD/Golden Retriever Cross and this is what Annie is and what this dog looks like.

Essentially the combination makes just as poor a guide dog as a pure GSD would, their intelligence is too independent and they are not a dog who does things to please it's owner. Unlike the pure bred Golden Retriever.

Still if Annie hadn't failed abysmally then we wouldn't have had the amazing opportunity to rehome her - every cloud...
