All My Children

When you've gone from having 1 pet to now having 2, there is low level desire of wanting to keep the attention showered on both as evenly divided as possible. However, when you have a dog thats still very much a puppy in his mannerisms, is a complete loose cannon and resembles the proverbial bull in a china shop, then your focus tends to be hijackred in one particular direction. Taking your eyes off him is not an option. It can lead to disasters of an enormous kind. As a result the kitty cat, who is the absolute perfect pet, gets lost in the drama.

So having spent a bit of time snapping a few photos of Dexter this past weekend, I felt it only fair to also grab some of little Fintan. Fintan is definitely much calmer than Dexter but a little more challenging to shoot. He prefers to do his own thing and if you want to take some photos, then by all means go for it, just don't expect him to do any kind of sitting, staying or posing. He's all about the candid.

This morning he found his way into, onto and next to the car, so I followed along as inconspicuously as possible and tried to capture the candid.

But guess who showed up wondering what was going on? Yep, our little bull, Dexter. And since I didn't have the heart not to, I took a few more of him too but changed things up with a little Black & White action.
