    Spitzhaubens

    I found this pic amusing. It looks like DS is having a conversation with a Spitzhauben. 🤣 (This was taken during the heat wave while at county fair) Speaking of the fair, DS won reserve champion and state fair delegate for photography: He also entered this in photo editing: The dressed up...

    Dominique Thread!

    Here's Fizzy (My last Dom was named Bubbles. This one is similar - but not quite the same. So she's Fizz) Fizzy is very interested in the camera. It's hard to get good full body shots. But Very Easy to get beak close-ups!
