Woof Wednesday

LadyI found out today is a special day for all dogs. While surfing the net in the morning I came across a post. It said National Dog Day. I was like oh my gosh today is national dog day and I did not know? Where have I been? Miss dog lover here and I did not know this. Wake up Anna! So, to all dogs out there, happy national dog day.

Update on my camera. My mom stopped by the store on the way home to see if any progress of getting it back soon was any possibility. She is such a great mother. She made the guy call Nikon and would not leave til he did. They said they finally shipped it out back to the store so hopefully they will get it back one of these days. Which means when they get it back if Nikon did not fix it for them their guy will have to. Sad thing is this guy who fixes the cameras is not there everyday. I hope I get my camera back soon. I am missing my Nikon. I am having separation anxiety from it. My poor Nikon is probably feeling the same way without me. Don’t worry my Nikon you soon will be back in my hands where you belong.

Callie update. Well, Callie is still limping but seems like she is putting a little more weight on the foot now. I am hoping it is not just me wishing and seeing things. If it does not improve more in a couple of days she is going to the vet to make sure nothing is too hurt. My poor little gal. She still loves to be a kitty and play. Loves to keep me up at night with her toys jingling around and jumping on my bed. What a character she is. My little tortie girl.

Its a photo of Lady. My photogenic girl. She is such a beauty. Since its national dog day I just had to put a photo of one of my dogs. I brought her out front and sat her infront of some black eyed susands and just got a shot of her with my camera phone. It came out pretty nice. What do you think?

Anwyays, I am going to enjoy the night. Going to blast some good tunes, chew gum, write poetry, surf the net and talk to peeps. So if you want to talk to me and get into my little world just contact me. You all know how. Stay happy and if you have dogs don’t forget to tell them happy national dog day. Peace to you all.

Dog Crazy

Lady_AnnaAlright, I need to make something clear to you all out there. I am still a dog lover. Even though I may have a kitten now. Dogs are still number one in my life. I will always be a dog person. Maybe sometimes a crazy dog person. Sorry I will never be a crazy cat person. I will never walk into a store and say I want every cat. Callie is special. She could be the only cat I will ever own and have in my life. Dogs come first and always will. Dog crazy gal.

Oh my goodness, today is the last day that I am seventeen! Yes, tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday! Wow. A nice easy last day of being seventeen. What am I doing for my birthday? Well, in the morning we are taking Callie for her very first vet appointment. Woohoo! It will be interesting to see what the vet says about little Callie girl. Aftter that I am going to the Apple store to choose a Macbook Pro or an iMac. I am excited. I like the Macbook Pro because its portable. Thing is I like the iMac because it has a nice big screen. I will see and choose tomorrow.

I took this photo a long time ago. It is Lady and I. It is not the clearest but I love the emotion and character this photo has. Lady is such a goofy girl. What do you think of it.

Anyways, I do hope you all had a nice Friday. So, I am going to listen to some music and maybe groove to it a little bit. Also, I am going to surf the net on some of my favorite sites and talk to my peeps all around the world. Peace.

Puppy Mill Pups

sleepingpetstorepupAren’t these puppies so cute in these photos? I will agree yes they are. But, before you say you want to buy one let me tell you something. I took these two photos of these cute puppies in a pet store. If you have never been told to not buy from a pet store I will tell you now. Please, do not buy from a pet store. Wanna know why? I will gladly tell you. If you do not already know the puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills.

Puppy mills are places where irresponsible people keep dogs in crowded dirty conditions where the poor female dogs just give birth over and over again. These dogs live a horrible life with not a lot of movement and little to no socialization. When the female dog cant breed anymore the puppy mill owners will leave her to die or just kill her. Puppy mill owners have no care for the life of the dogs they have. All they care about is getting the puppies that earn them money.

Also, let me share something. These puppies come from dirty unclean living areas. The parents do not go to the vet which means these dogs pass down diseases over and over again. You hear stories about people buying a puppy from a pet store and they end up spending thousands of dollars on a sick dog who may recover, who will have to live with the illness its whole life or the puppy dies.

twopetstorepupssleepingOne other thing is. If you buy from a pet store you are supporting puppy mills. Oh, one puppy wont make a difference in business. Let me tell you. One puppy sold tells the puppy mill owner that he is being successful and those poor dogs continue to live in that condition. Lets not support puppy mills. Instead we need to help stop them. Next time you go into a pet store just look and tell yourself that you are helping dogs by not buying a puppy from there. That is what I tell myself when I go into one. We all need to help the dogs and puppies who live sad unhealthy lives. Together we will bring an end to puppy mills and stop the pain these dogs live in.

Anyways, moving on to something exciting. It is almost Friday! Woohoo! The weekend is almost here. Be excited. We all love weekends. Ha, Callie is being a little crazy kitten running around. Jumping on to the bed and grabbing my feet and then jumping off. Callie loves to cause trouble but that is a kitten for you. Well, I am going to listen to some good music and relax. Chillax. Peace.

How to ignore your little brother

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgW-HUW_4X8]

I know a lot of you already seen this video but I do enjoy watching it again and again. My mom recorded this awhile ago. She and I edited it together and it came out so well. The title fits the video perfectly. As you can see Princess has a lot of patience to ignore Oliver. Oliver is a young hyper boy who tries to get Princess to pay attention to him and play. She does at times but other times she will just ignore him. If you have not seen this video please watch and enjoy. Spread it around and also comment and rate. Thanks.

Fridayyy

Lady_Dog_ParkTGIF! Yes, I sure do love saying that. I say that about every Friday. Just another saying of mine that I can not resist. By the way, I dislike Michael Vick. Wow, that was random. Yes, I am a very random person at times. Michael Vick is on my dislike list. I have never heard of him before i started hearing all about the dog fighting he was involved with. Dog fighting is wrong in my opinion. I do not care if you want to argue with me because you can not change my mind about that. It is cruel and painful. Not just the fighting but also the conditions these poor dogs have to live in. Okay, I am done ranting.

So anyways, we came up to the cabin today. It is lovely weather here and suppose to be great this weekend which means I can swim in the lake. It will be lots of fun. I brought up my camcorder to record lots of videos. Today I recorded some so check out my youtube. There are some of my dogs and some cats and kittens. Also, I recorded a video of what I ate for dinner. It was a yummy dinner with lots and lots and lots of protein. Hehe. Here is the vid.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bStgcDHlw0w]

Thats that video, but I would also like to share one other video with you all of two kittens near my cabin playing. These two are so adorable. Very spunky little kittens. I hope you enjoy it.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dmagpyU5Uo]

I hope you enjoyed those two videos. I will be recording lots more over time. Maybe, I will start sharing a video with you all with my posts. As for this photo it is of Lady. It was taken a while ago at the dog park in my town. She looks so great and happy in this photo. The light was wonderful. I sure love this photograph of her. What do you all think of it?

Well, hope you all are having a good Friday and just know the weekend is in a few hours. Also, hope you all have some good things planned this weekend and if you do not than enjoy it as it comes. I am going to relax and listen to some music while surfing the net. Peace.

Lady Love

Lady_the_beauty_Anna_ZiskIt has been another hot day in New Jersey. Been in the basement most of the day where its cooler than my room. Plus, my mom’s computer is down here so I use it mainly for music and my laptop for my other computer programs. It keeps things moving at a nice speed.

Oh, good news. I started my two blogs I have been telling you I was going to start but kept putting it off. So now I have Social Tech Anna and Dog Dog Doggie running. They are just started but I will get them moving soon. If you have no looked at them yet please do. They soon will be two of the coolest blogs out there just like this one. Yea, you all know this is one of the best.

It is Lady love! Loooook! She is such a sweet faced dog. Just sitting there being patient while I take her photo a hundred times. This was taken awhile ago but one of my favorites. What do you think of this photo of Lady love?

It has been a good day. Maybe I did not do a lot but thats okay. I like my lazy days at times. I would be doing some photography if those idiots gave my nikon back! I swear I am going to send Oliver in there and have him put his smelly poop all over and then see what happens. They will never delay to give my camera back ever again. Well, I am going to listen to music, talk to peeps and just relax. Peace.

Rock the Net

Staring_At_LadyI was cleaning up my room a little bit today and I came across my video camera. Yes, that video camera that has not been used in a few weeks. My poor Youtube channel with no new videos to share. I need to make more videos to share with y’all. Some crazy, wacky, fun, unique videos of me. Also, upload some videos of my pooches being goofy and cute. I have some video ideas in my head that I just need to stop freezing up and just make them. So if you have any video ideas you can share them with me.

Oh, also I am definately going to start my Social Tech Anna blog and my Dog Dog Doggie blog this week. I need to get those two blogs moving. Before I know it I will be wanting to start another one which will have to be added to the list of blogs that will never be started. The list of some day. My name is procrastination and I am proud of it.

One other thing. My laptop is going in tomorrow to get some repair so I will be without it for a few days. Noooo! But not fear I will be able to use my moms computer. So, I am all ready to continue my internet life with my great internet friends. Rockin the internet is my thang. Lets rock it all together. Who’s with me???

Awww, look! Its a photo of me and Lady having a staring contest. I took this a long time ago but it just so expressive. It is not the clearest photo but I still like it. Lady was fighting with me and so I told her we will settle this with a staring contest. You know who won? Me. That Lady turned her head and backed down. Ha! Miss toughy gave up. What a Lady! Still love her so much. She is the sneak of the family. So what do you think of the photo? Like? Dislike? Like Lady? Like Me? Like neither of us?

Alrighty, time to close this daily post up. I did not find any good photography content to post on my photoblog today but I will look around tonight and tomorrow and see what I can share with you all. Stay rockin. Peace.

Smile Its Friday!

LadyHello everyone. Be happy and smile. Its Friday! Today the weather has been wonderful. Clear with just little clouds passing by. Not too hot and with a nice breeze. It was great. I took my bicycle out and road it around. It was so nice I just had to get out and enjoy it before the weather changes to bad again. I am in a good good good mood today. Nice weather always makes me happy and in a positive mood. I did all my chores for the day, did some work on the internet and listened to music all day long. I love music so much. Every mood and emotion is expressed through one song or another. Such great way to express yourself. Alright, I am done drooling about my love for music. Wanna know what I am currently listening to? Well check out my blip.fm. That gives me another blog idea. A music blog filled with all the music I listen to, like and music news. Well, I will see. Already have a list of blogs I need to start.

Anyways, I still do not have my camera back yet but still was able to capture a great picture of the Lady. She is such a beauty and so photogenic even with a camera phone. I love just picking her up and carrying her around as if she was a little dog. She weighs around thirty five pounds. She is not that big but has a big stomach. She will eat and steal anything that smells good and she is not suppose to have. Lady will do anything for food. I really should record more videos of my dogs doing tricks and put them on youtube to share with you all.

Well, I hope you all had a wonderful day and enjoyed it atleast a little bit. Hopefully, you have plans this weekend. I will see what I am going to do. A day at a time is how I live. I am going to surf the net some more and blast some music. Talk to you all soon. TGIF. Peace.

Still No Camera

Princess_Car_TrunkHello everybody. How was your thursday? Mine was nice. Except, my mom went to the camera store and they still do not have my camera. They said its still at Nikon. Seriously, its been a freaking week since they told us they accidentally shipped it there. I want my Nikon! Geez. This photographer is lost without her camera. I better get it back soon or hell is going to break loose.

So, I was thinking about careers today and brought up one of my job dreams that I had for a long time. An animal investigator cop like Annemarie Lucas. She is one of my favorite people and one of my greatest animal cops out there in my opinion. She impressed me from the moment I saw her on Animal Precinct years ago on Animal Planet. My mom and other people think I would be great at it because I love animals and I have no problem busting people for cruelty to animals. I will have to see if that is where I want to go with my life. It sure would not be a boring job and lots of action. If I decide I want to go to college and all of that stuff I may just take the animal cop career. One of the many careers in mind.

Since I still do not have my camera I went rummaging through some old photos and this one popped out at me. It is my special girl Princess in the back trunk of my mom’s CR-V. I did a set of car photos with all three dogs seperately and this was one of the best. Especially, with the two dog related car magnets. Princess is a great dog to photograph because she does not move a lot. Such a good girl she is. Princess loves car rides so she had no problem about being in the car. Except, she was probably a little upset we did not go anywhere. So, what do you all think of this picture of my special girl Princess?

There is my photo and post of the day. Hope it was interesting to you all and I do hope you also had a nice day. Lets all relax, listen to music and chit chat. Princess gives you all kisses. Well, talk to you all soon. Stay safe and happy. Peace.

Sunny Sun Saturday

PrincessEyeHello. How was everyone’s Saturday going? Mine has been good. It has been a lazy Saturday but nice. At the lake the usual summer Regatta is going on. I did not go down to it today but I will tomorrow because Princess and Oliver are going to be in the pet parade. Bad thing is it is suppose to thunderstorm tomorrow but lets hope it doesn’t during the pet parade. So, I just laid in bed most of the day, surfed the net, listened to music and watched movies on tv. Plus, I ate food and drank Dr. Pepper. It was yummy food too. Grilled shrimp, chicken, sausage, corn and veggies. Now you know my whole Saturday. Welcome to my life of fun.

The state fair is going on this week but I do not think we are going to go until next weekend because I still do not have my camera! There are so much things at the fair that make great subjects for photos. It is not cool that I do not have my Nikon but I am going to survive this down part in my life. Got to take the bad things in life and learn from them. It only makes you stronger.

Like the photo? I took it awhile ago and just love it. It is Princess’ pretty eye. Her eyes talk and just grab you in. That is what drew us in when we saw her face on Petfinder. Her big dark eyes just are so wonderful. That is my special girl for you all. This is one of my favorite closeup dog eye photos. I just love taking photos of dog eyes and dog noses.

Well, I do hope you all enjoyed reading this post. I always love writing them and knowing people are enjoying them. I am going to relax a little, surf the net, listen to music and probably pass out in a few hours. Enjoy this Saturday night and have a fun day on this Sunday. Peace.
