Hugh's Views & News 
Hugh, Toby is very handsome, makes me smile, he looks so cute. Puppy Girl is almost 12 and is starting to show her age up close. Is your house right on the water? ooo la la. I love the other two pictures because of that! 🙂
No, these photos were taken at a small dog-friendly hotel we stayed at a few years ago, Marsha. However, we do now only have a 5-minute walk to the beach from where we live. We enjoy living and being by the sea.
Either way, the photos are fun and lovely. It’s great to see into the lives of our friends, isn’t it?
Although I seem to prefer talking more about my past life than what’s going on in the present.
It’s sometimes easier, unless you forget, like I do. Vince always says, “You don’t even remember being there do you?” Sometimes I don’t, and sometimes I wasn’t there, so it gets a little confusing sometimes. He forgets that I haven’t been everywhere he has! “_
Toby is the perfect B&W subject!! Great shots, Hugh. They made me smile! 🙂
He is, isn’t he? Doesn’t always stay still, though. I’m glad they made you smile, Liesebt.
What a handsome lad young Toby is. 🙂
Thank you. He’s 9 years old now but still handsome.
These are great examples of black and white photography Hugh and Toby is such a perfect model 🙂
Thanks, Debbie. He’s not always the perfect model. Trying to get him to sit still while I point a camera at him can sometimes be very demanding — however, a few small chunks of cheese help.
Toby is gorgeous. So is your view from the balcony 😊
Thank you. I’m glad you like these photos for this week’s Wordless Wednesday.
Very nice. A picture can indeed paint a thousand words!
Thanks so much for linking to my post, Donna.
These black and white shots are very effective, Hugh. I especially like the one of Toby!
Thank you, Donna. I managed to get him to stay still for once.
I love the moodiness you’ve captured with your black and white photos.
Thank you, Janis. I’m glad you said it. I think black and white photos catch moodiness far better than colour photos.
Such a handsome fellow! Perfectly suited for a Black and White ball!
He has one but didn’t bring it with him that day.
Adorable image of Toby! I see he uses his leg as a kickstand too when sitting 😁 My shortlegged dog sits the same way. Love the balcony to nowhere, Hugh. Excellent black and whites!
I never noticed that about the way he sits, Terri. And I never knew it was called the kickstand position. I’ll have to check if Austin sits the same way. He probably does.
I love the theme you set this week. I could have added a lot more photos, but though three was enough. Maybe you’ll revisit this theme again sometime? I hope so.
I think I’ve heard other Boykin Spaniel owners call it the kickstand. The breed was bred to have shorter legs so they wouldn’t rock the boat while duck hunting! I will probably add more black and white themes earlier than later. Cee Neuner has a weekly b&W challenge.
Thanks for the information, Terri. I’ve learned something new today.
Hmm, but now that I see Toby’s sitting position on my laptop, that looks like his tail stuck out to the side. Maybe that’s his kickstand…the Boykins stick one of their legs out to anchor themselves on a slippery surface.
I’ve noticed that his tail is usually in a straight line behind him when he sits like that. If he sees me with cheese and begs, his tail acts as an anchor to keep him from falling over. He’s never fallen over where cheese is concerned…yet.
