Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Your routine sounds like what I did for my Chloe. Unfortunately she passed away a month ago. But older dogs do need that extra special care to help them maintain themselves. Glad to hear what you're doing is working.

I suspect that you are a better person than you let on. I've known people who, when an animal becomes inconvenient, have it put to sleep. I hope his mind is sound. Animals have been known to suffer from dementia.

He is very blest to have someone who cares so selflessly for him. You can tell a great deal about a person by the way they treat their animals. :) I hope you have many more years with Ralphie. Wonderful photo! God bless.

Sweet boy. I'm glad he's doing all right in his dotage. If we can choose our next lives, I would like to come back as one of your dogs.
