hey there say, all... we ALL know how fun and invigorating a "FULL RUN" can be...
so do critters! and perhaps more-so than we do...
so please share the fun....
(or a critter in full run, too, even if it is chasing another critter, or, running from such-a-one)
and--neebee has finally GONE DIGITAL CAMERA mode!
my twins buddies sent me a used one, being that L's wonderful wonderful try to send me hers, got lost in the mail in the mail somewhere... :(
only trouble i see, is that they sure use up lots of batteries
course---i was PRACTICING on how to use it, and the video, and such and the "screen view monitor" uses up the batteries fast, too, as you all already know... :)
well, back to the share...
post them if you got them:
critters in FULL RUN...
for their fun or profit... ;)
*edit--say, i got to RUN, a grandkid is coming over...
will be back to visit later... have fun...

astra is a parti cocker which puts her in a minority, not typical buff or black but white with spots like spaniels of other types.
her short stature in no way diminished her exuberance and athleticism.
her breed's job classification falls into the flusher category so whatever your heading might be, she'll cross your path
one side to the other and back, diving under every bush within a fairly wide range.
every excursion was her's in her mind so when we took to riding bicycles on the shoulder of the road the solution involved a thirty foot length of light bungee. i would lead the parade, there was only one requirement for the bicyclist in trail, keep the cord tight.
in that sense we were riding in tandem and this has worked well on tours where long grades were involved.
to accomodate astra's style, a loop was introduced mid length, and her collar was exchanged for a harness that restrained her
from above the shoulder blades, the slack under the armpits absorbed by the stretchy deflection in the taughtline.
she understood her cone of comfort immediately, and complied happily. the second rider could enforce a proper lope,
the dog was not otherwise prone to pacing herself. but by far most of our outings involved no rigging for traffic.
a favorite memory of her running full blast was up a pair of tire ruts which engulfed her to the belly in talcum like red "moondust."
burned into my mind is the image of her in full sprint, curving off into the sunset, backlight on her widening plume.
her ears flapped madly like a quip on quarterhorse, a little white comet of freedom at the tip of an outlandish glowing tail

hey there all, say, this is so FUN! ... the joy these critters feel and let us view, as the "second to the fact" is beyond words, sometimes...
not all the pics have loaded yet, for me, so i need to wait for a bit...
so please excuse if i can't share neat comments yet...
but from the words, i can well imagine, til they unfold...
say---i just really GOT to see the pug running in chest deep snow... :O
*also, chaz... wow, i know... isn't that something... as to the front feet and such, on patty ann...
the greyhounds do this, too, that is why they race so fast...
whippets are the (so said in the old days, the poor man's greyhound)...
said again, whippets are a smaller verion of a grey hound, and are sight hounds...
there is something about the their spine, and the lower back bones, that are different, so that they can curve, and do this...
very ODD ... i was very surpirsed the first time she ever raced this way...
really SHOCKED.. i though she'd gone "nuts" for a second, when she took off in large circles in the fenced yard... (she doesn't always do this... other runs, are just a dog canter, etc)...
well, here i go to wait for these neat pics...
(i will try to find a running grey hound, too, reallyyyyyyy strange looking to see in mid action, if one can get it...)
patty actully FLEW through the air, off ground, too, a few times...:O

A friend's dog, frolicking in the snow during a ski trip. Probably hoping that we'd throw a snowball. There are few things more fun than to watch a dog burrowing in a snowdrift looking for a snowball.

Me and my Jackson's chameleons that I plucked from the trees in Hawai'i. The males are the smaller ones with the three horns. One of the females gave birth to eight live young, all of which survived. Here they are in FULL RUN, a top speed of perhaps 5mm per second.
Believe it or knott, even Floyd Collins the box turtle is faster than the chameleons!

hey there billo... man oh man... look at that dog go!... say, what kind of dog is your dog?... very strong runner... patty has leaped over the snow a few time, doing that, but i dont know if she been that dramatic... however, she has never had a chance to really "cut loose" as she is in a small fenced yard of the neighbor's when she gets to run...
survival... wow, a horse... i love to see horse pics...
weschrists... that is the best deer in action shot, that i have ever seen!... many a time i wish i could catch a pic... never had a camera, or got anywhere near...
mr e, you cat had me laughing... mine do this at the oddest times...

fun stuff here... thanks so very much, all...

Neebee, the "chameleons" you find in Texas are actually anoles, a quick little lizard that does have the ability to change colour. These guys are "old world" or true chameleons, orginally from Africa in the Mt. Kenya - Tanzania area. There are many species unique to Madagascar, too.
Googly eyes, funny hands and feet, curly prehensile tails, and tongues almost as long as their bodies. Strange and interesting creatures, for sure. Also very friendly and s-l-o-w.
Jackson's chameleons were brought to Hawai'i as pets, and escaped in a hurricane. They're everywhere now on the islands, but have not had any apparent negative impact. And they eat a lot of bugs. I literally plucked these guys out of the trees. Too cool!

hey there all...whew...say, i am sure missing you all... i been sewing all night.. :O (i am earning a trip from a gal, so i can visit my twin buddies)...
wow, let's see if i can remember all i want to share back with you all:
billo:
say, from the pics, it seems that your dog may have the same shape in many ways that patty ann has, even the color (yours has pointed ears, though, like the ?pharoah?.hounds (patty kind of has lab, or mixed whippet-lab ears)(think greyhound ears are even smaller).. but---the italian grey hound makes sense, too... say, look up whippets, as well, and study on their personality, that may help... i hope to catch patty in "mid flying leap" too... :)...
patty is mixed with lab and that is why she is bigger than most whippets (and she is definately shar pei, too)... grey hounds are bigger than her, and i am not sure about italian greyhounds, but i do know they are smaller types, too... so that COULD VERY WELL fit your REALLY neat dog!
patty ann was an rescue dog, too... and from the street, not an owner give up, so it was hard to know much about her, til she grew...
she really SHOCKED me when she showed "her true self" hahaha...
pass the pitons pete:
WOW... I FORGOT about the term "old world chamelians" you are so right... yeah, these little texas greens are FAST... fast and fun... say, thanks for the neat lesson on more on chamelians... :)
FRITZ: that is SO FUNNY... the chase in "freeze frame"
jobee... wow, oh, jobee, i always love your cat pics!... my cats are doing that VERY same thing tonight as your pictures... they are for serious, too!.... usually in fun, but there down right annoyed at each other tonight and then racing up and down the stairs...
even patty ann was boxing with one of them--however, she was in fun, and the one cat, was not.. ;)
say, all, sure hope to see more stuff here...
the user formaly known as stzzo... :)
(say, i really get a kick out of that name style) :O
yeah---i got to see what to do about the batteries, though the camera say not to use a certain type of batter, so i got to look that up... it can use a lithium??? pack, whatever that is... :O
i have to read the book...
worse trouble is, that i have to use the monitor on it, to learn how to do stuff... after than, hopefully i won't have to, and the batteries will last longer, too... (all gone again, now) :(
thanks for the fun, everyone!
:)
*and last, but not less honor... oh ekat... i love your doggie and its swim... and i always feel for your loss... :(
god bless and hugs...
*hope i got everyone... :)

hey there ricardo cabeza.... say, what kind of dogs... wow, they are off to a neat "field trip" ... off and running... :)
wow, if i let patty loose, she'd take off after a critter and be gone!...
she obeys me, in the fence... but i have read that with her "sight hound" skills, that she may take off, in "gone natural" mode, and not even take note me, unintentionally...
say saw that whippets, greyhounds and bloodhounds, (not sure what else) you have to keep on leash...
thanks for the neat share.. love that COAST line! :)

hey there tradmanclimbs (and all you guys)... say, i am hoping to someday camera-shoot a deer that way... i am now on the "too far away" side of town now, though...
but wil still hope to do so... we had some in the woods where i used to live by... hard to see them jump, but at times, i'd find them doing it...
thanks for the share...
say, ricardo, i used to have a black lab, when i first go married, very sadly someone lost it, when i moved to texas--they were going to keep it at there ranch, cuase sadly, where we lived, many a dog was full of mange... :O and i had never heard of that, and we had to money to fix it, IF SHE EVER got it... (big mistake on my part for trusting the now ex's family)...
thanks for link...
__
also, oh my hankster__... say, i had a gift for you and wife, a ways back... trying to add some holiday cheer (after one of your posts in dec)... say, can you please email me?
and that dog and cat photo, of the "stuck cat" really set me to a good laugh here, oh my! :))
my pup-dog patty ann "captures" one of my cats with her front paws and we have "stuck kitty" til the cat makes the dog say "uncle" :O
*the other cat will not stand for such 'catches' and the other THREE are "off to the races" at these time----i REALLY GOT TO CATCH this on film, soon.... very funny "full run' stuff... :))
*oops, almost forgot, survival:
loved the circus dog, say, i am trying to teach patty ann how to do that, but i think i will wait til spring... should be funny, she makes me laugh a lot when she is in "trick mode"...

hey there chiloe (and billo) and all,
say, i had seen a running dog on the beach, photo... on line, on a search...
it was an italian greyhound... dogs are really neat to see, running through the shoreline/water...
patty is not sure yet, what this is all about...
i need to find a more fenced in area for her, though, and too:
she would take off to all the dogs, full speed! and some may no like it...
(her obedience, seems to be at home, or on a leash)
if i ever can, i hope to enjoy here there, at a beach
(ooop--this is LAKESHORE country, haha, no OCEAN here, sadly)...

Nothing traumatic, really. Sadly, dogs suffer the "human condition", also.
They were both such sweet dogs. Annie, the black one was a complete goof and not very bright but so very sweet. Kelsey, the brindle, was super intelligent, ultra fast, and mega graceful. It was amazing to see them run at full speed.
They were also surprisingly good crag dogs, too. They would just curl up and sleep the whole day while the humans climbed.

hey there watusi... wow, i am still up... seems it was all night, but i had to stop back here right quick and just saw the wonderful "sand" pictures... also:
i love the dogs running together... i wish patty ann could go run and fun with some dogs, but so far, she doesn't get to---when the come over to the neighbors, to try it out she is too excited and they get "bugged by her" ... (but these dogs, are older, that is why)...
she DOES have ONE good buddy dog, but there is no fence there (the dog has an electric color, but patty dont... so she had to have a long rope, to play there...
she LOVES other dogs, though... :)
thanks for the neat share... :)

Sorry, Neebee, he's definitely not in "full run." But Sundance IS enjoying his favorite activity; I put him out to graze on some nice green grass, and next thing I knew, he ended up in the haystack. By the way, even though he's 29, he can still run like the wind!

By far, I think giraffes are the silliest creatures when they run. Its truly amazing they don't fall over.

I was guiding a group of teens on a backcountry snowboard trip with my friend and colleague Tom Beckering. We were in the Meiss hut area just north of Carson Pass (see Snowshoe Thompsen thread!). I went down the upper slope first and on my last turn scared up this beautiful Snowshoe Hare, which tore up the slope at an incredible speed. We had small radios, so I called up Tom, "Snowshoe Hare, flying your way!!" he got out his camera with the motor drive and shot this bunny at full speed.

MAx, Black & Cream German Shepard, Cain, gold lab/pit/rez dog, Sage, another rez dog, origin only guessed at.
This was an early snow in the fall and we had been working non-stop, so the dogs needed to get out. Max actually had a torn ACL from chasing a bear just the night before, but I did not realize it yet. May be why he was so intent on stopping the chase.
AS dog aggressive as that yellow dog is, he has always let his buddies beat him up.
Some of you may recognize Sage from Tuolumne, her late owner Laura was always taking her bouldering. Sage is in June Lake being pampered and getting fat.
RIP Max buddy, I sure do miss you!

A true rescue, she was used as a breeder to achieve darker or all black Shepards for military & police.
When we took her from a condemned house on the side of the Passic River, In Pompton Plains or there abouts, she was covered in filth.
It was her own, and others poo, from this dungeon of a basement where she was kept, never allowed outside.
The 1st week we had her we washed her and groomed her everyday. So getting the treatment is a favorite memory.
from "H"E" double hockey stick to A Princess in Paradise;
She is a bit of a handful,
hates to do her 'business'if it is wet out,
and can try to sneak one indoors'
I fix'd it? she got insulted when corner'd with a floor full of wee-wee pads.That mostly worked, no accidents in 4months, that is a 1st, ick!The memory of daily baths brings on a smile, she gets very stimulated when we take her for a "spa treatment"
Now I have to go hit tennis balls for her.
