When I came downstairs to take Nico’s daily photo he picked up his and looked at me as if to say, “this is all you’re going to get Dad.”

A sure sign of a good time is when you slobber your own face. Well, at least if you are a dog…

Nico is a professional at lounging and nesting.

Nico couldn’t decide if he wanted to continue to bark out the front door or follow me to the kitchen to get dinner. Food is a great motivator though!

It was a nice but little chilly day in Saranac Lake.

Nico decided to try out my rocking chair.

Two of my favorite things are motorcycles and dogs.

Nico wanted to play tug, but only if he got to hang on to the soft handle.

Nico is flexing his lounging skills this afternoon.

Nico had a busy day of helping out in the yard and running erands, including a trip to Tractor Supply.

One of our followers, Pam Copeland, sent us a very nice painting of Nico several years ago.

Sleeping away a long week.

Such beautiful eyes.

Nico thought wearing a dog photography hoodie was perfectly fine and a nice way to always be snuggled up.

This photo is a great example of the extremely narrow depth of field of an f1.2 lens; the plane of focus is from the front of Nico’s eye to the back.

A rainy day is perfect for snoozing on the couch.

A heard somewhere that a wet nose helps a dog smell better.

Nico has a newfound appreciation for his Chuckit! Kick Fetch ball.
