The Life of a Boxer Named Gromit

Our 365 day project for 2010 has come to a close. I didn't sign up to do another 365 day project, instead I chose a 52 week project. I can work on some ideas that I have had and really be creative. Let the fun begin! At the start of this project, Gromit is 2 years and 2 months old.

Day 158

A lazy kinda' day...Tim and I took Gromit and our neighbor's dog Bella to the harbor this morning. It was drizzly, cold, blah, gray. I wanted to take some pictures, but the drizzle was just too heavy, so we just walked done to the beach. Met up with Toby a 6 month old aussie. Cute, but definitely a herder. They ran and ran and ran. It was great for everyone! After we got home, mail arrived with Gromits new collars and ID tag...YAY! I have to replace all of the other tags still, but at least he has and ID now. I decided to start messing around with studio lighting and of course Gromit is my subject (wasn't in the mood for self portraits).

Day 157

Another one of those still thick foggy mornings. We took Gromit to the harbor again early this morning. A few of his buddies were there, and he met a few others. Today Gromit earned the new nick name of "Beach Bully" he was just beside himself...literally out of his own body and had the attention span of a gnat...actually, I think a gnat has a bigger attention span....

Day 156

Another interesting day here on the coast. The fog was "horror movie" thick and still. We headed for the harbor to meet up with our usual usual and sometimes unusual running mates. We met "Team Greyhound" in the parking lot on the way to the beach. Once we got there, it was a free for all. This time, for some reason, Gromit decided that he was going to play the part of the "bunny rabbit" and have the greyhounds chase him. It was a blast for all involved, including us as spectators.

Day 155

With my back still a bit tweaked, the harbor was the best place to go...so I thought. I forgot the ball launcher, the frisbee and the rope thingy at home, so all I had in my car was a tennis ball the I had to throw by hand. Not so smart, and not so easy with a back that's a bit jacked...just the same, Gromit loved it. There were just a few passers by, no dogs....Gromit just sits and watches. I love this about him...but then he hmphed. I laughed!

Day 154

It had been a really rough pst couple of days for me. I put my back out Wednesday evening, say the Chiropractor Thursday morning, photographed the cars at Cool Harbor Nights Thursday evening, my back still hurts, way better than it was, but still hurts! So, when I realized that I needed a photo of Gromit for the day, there he was all sprawled out on the couch..."no, I am not sleeping..."

Day 153

Woke up to fog and drizzle, but warm and muggy! Gromit and I had some more work in the office to do, so we headed up there for a while. Stopped at the beach on the way back home...I put my back out this evening and can barey walk...I am hoping to get in to the Chiro soon! Here is a quick shot of Grom at the beach.
