Life has been crazy busy lately, which is all good, except I don’t get to spend as much time with this little face as I would like.

Nico has a variety of facial expressions; sometimes, they are quite fun to capture on camera.

Eyes wide open when posing for a photo stands between you and a bowl of raw meat.

Sometimes, I think Nico understands more English than I give him credit for, or perhaps he’s learned to think the way I do.

Nico had a boring day. I was at the commencement ceremony for Paul Smith’s College most of the day, and Shelly was out running errands.

Nico is so stinking cute when he’s curled up on the couch.

If there is one thing Nico has learned over the past several years, it’s how to sit and look at a camera. As they say, practice makes perfect!

I’ve had later nights at work lately and have made an effort to maximize my attention to Nico when I get home.

Nico had quite a bit of entertainment tonight.

We use a lot of positive rewards with Nico to help shape his behavior.

There were scattered rain showers rolling through the area all day today, so Nico and I planned a quick adventure between the rain.

Nico joined us for a trip out to the Upper Saranac Lake Environmental Monitoring Platform so I could do some maintenance work on it.

It was such a nice afternoon that Nico spent a few hours outside.

Nico was pretty disappointed with being fed a later dinner tonight.

Nico was all worked up this evening because the neighbor’s cat was in our yard.

Shelly and I were out for much of the evening to attend a fundraiser for the Tri-Lakes Humane Society.

Nico was so excited when I got home from work today.

Shelly and I took Nico on a good adventure this afternoon before the rain settled in.

Nico is bummed that he wasn’t invited to the open house at Paul Smith’s College today.

A little over a year ago, I purchased the Sony 50mm F1.2 GM prime lens, and it’s hands down turned into my absolute favorite lens ever.
