Day 154 June 29, 2008
Look! I have a dog again.
We have finally arrived at my parents’ house.
This is the last photo of Weston you’re going to see for a while as he left for the US this morning (Tuesday). He thoroughly enjoyed his last walk yesterday, but I bet he’ll be excited beyond belief when he realizes he’s living at camp for a couple months! Woods, a lake, a sunny deck, other dogs…what more can a dog want?

Evelyn and Weston both had a rough morning at the vet’s office. Weston had lights shined in his eyes and Evelyn stole a cat toy off a display while she was riding on my back, then broke it when I tried to take it. I suppose that earns them a nap.
Weston has uveitis and couldn’t open his eyes on Thursday night or Friday. Friday morning we went to the vet and they put dye in his eyes (the faint orange stain on his face) to check for scratches. He’s getting better, but they’re not sure if he’s going to be able to fly back to the US as scheduled in three weeks.

I love how animals sometimes leave their tongues dangling out the tiniest bit while they relax. My cats do it too.

I’m not quite sure how to feel about this photo. I think I’m glad that I took it, because these were the only ones I took yesterday. But, knowing now that it must be my photo of the day, I’m a little disappointed that Evelyn and I decided to play with the camera before we’d at least gotten dressed!

Another dog walk photo.
Does anyone know how to avoid the washed out sky in photos where most of your subject is dark? I could reduce the exposure time manually, but won’t that result in a really dark main area?

Gavin and Weston played with a stick on our walk today. It was really warm and, since yesterday was the start of British Summer Time (clocks forward), it was still bright out at dinner time. I hope spring is here for good.
