Not again and then some!

Do you have a family member or friend who is constantly taking photos? Do you have moments when you just don’t want to be the subject? I do, I have and I’ve been the guilty one clicking away.
Copper’s been in our family for over three years now and I think we’ve taken about a million photos of him (slight exaggeration). But for those of you who own pets, don’t you agree there can never be too many pictures of our furry friends?
I took the first three when he had better things to do (like chew on his bone). However, he complied but not without attitude. 🙂 He weighs about 74 lbs, is tall and lean and all muscle, which is why this first photo makes me smile. In the photos following, you’ll see his true self.

“If you insist”

“Time’s almost up”

“I’m done!”

and now some photos from my son…

and from my daughter..

and lastly, with me

I hope you enjoyed this peek into Copper’s life
and I wish you a smooth and peaceful start to your new week!
Lots of Love, Lauren 🙂 ♥

Copper’s Canine Cogitations

On November 17, 2013 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Poetry40 Comments

Just pet me and love me is all I really ask
I know it’s not such a difficult task
for when you focus on my amber eyes
the love I show is no surprise
You get a big smile when you rub my tummy
‘cuz all the attention is really yummy
You’ve taught me well when it comes to heeling
but I can’t help if squirrels are so appealing
I sit, I stay and lie down on command and
can’t wait for my treat out of your loving hand
I know sometimes on our walks I’m a handful
From now on, I’ll do my best and try not to pull
Big, strong labs don’t often get mushy
but I’ll say one thing that might be gushy
If you didn’t adopt me on that special day
I don’t know how I’d feel…happy or afraid
So, my family, to you I offer my paw and
I’m very grateful you chose me to be your dog ♥

Hiking with King Copper

On July 7, 2013July 8, 2013 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Photography28 Comments

Our heat wave finally ended. It’s warm, but beautiful and bearable. So Copper and I ventured out into the sunshine, beginning with a short drive of about 15 minutes. Then we hiked uphill (about 25 minutes) to our first stop, where one of us had a treat. Can you guess who? 🙂 We then hiked onward to our final lake destination. It’s about a 6 mile round trip hike. (Keep in mind, these photos were taken with my iPhone and the photo of Copper lying down came out a little blurry, but I thought it worth sharing, anyway.)

At the end of our adventure, I tried to get photos of us, but it was difficult synchronizing our smiles. What you see turned out a little funky and maybe, classic, with Copper’s cooperation! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed “hiking” along with us
and I wish you a wonderful week ahead,
filled with smiles and kisses. ♥

Happy 1 Year Adoption Anniversary, Copper ♥ Limerick

Copper has been a great addition to our family
and it took less than minutes for him to melt our hearts.
He’s strong and has tested us, but he is so loving,
that we’re still amazed at how he acts and the things he does.

There once was a strong chocolate lab
his loving ways were simply fab
His color was unique
here are photos for a peek
his personality was far from drab

He loves chewing on his nylabones
and they’re the strongest to endure his choppers!

One of his favorite pastimes, besides watching squirrels
in the tree-house, is sunbathing!

Endurance

On June 26, 2012 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Inspirational47 Comments

We race with the hands
of the clock on the wall
usually in last place
like a slow, dragging crawl

Everything must be now
instant gratification
when we should slow down
and feel appreciation

Maybe what we’re waiting for
isn’t meant to be
It’s all in the timing
and not all about “we”

If you’re a believer
it’s really up to Him
and what His plan entails
not just our personal whim

So exhale a little slower
demonstrate some tolerance
It’ll all come together
with just a bit of patience

Photo is of Copper on our recent hike.
He was so patient, waiting for me
to take some pictures~
