Week 6

This week's theme : "Fill the frame". There are many ways to fill the frame, and here is one of them. Jasmine could hear another dog and human walking and went into the sit to listen. It's also a submissive stance I guess. ; ) Fannie is in the car, snoozing away.

Week 5 - 52 Weeks of Jasmine

Boy oh boy!  Am I ever behind now!  This is what happens when Jasmine gets a little sister.  Yup!  Jasmine now has to share her house with little Fannie, a black miniature poodle.   You'll get to see her later on, but for now, here is week 5's theme, "Vintage".

Not bad if I do say so myself.  My first thought was to get a shot of Jasmine around old buildings or objects, but hey!  Why go for the ordinary?

I also used this shot as a profile pic on facebook.

Week 3 - 52 Weeks of Jasmine

Theme: Colours

You have no idea how grateful I am to my agility instructor right now, for having taught us how to "shape" a behaviour. It made this session soooo easier. After using a smaller basket to practice, I took out this larger basket for the photo shoot. On my command, Jasmine jumped right in, waiting for her reward. It took me a few tries to finally find something I liked. I borrowed this angle idea from the photographer at Muddy Pawz. I'll add the link to her blog to recognize her help in this.

I didn't centre the picture well. I'm hoping that by the end of the year, this off-centre situation won't happen as often. :-)

Week 2 - 52 Weeks of Jasmine

As you can see from this picture, I haven't mastered the art of editing yet

The theme, circles, got me thinking about all Jasmine's furry curls, her ears and....her nose. Muttsandaklutz suggested I use the paronamic setting on my camera to catch Jasmine's nose. Unfortunately, time wasn't on my side, and this is my weekly participation.

This picture was taken at my parents' house, while Jasmine was taking a nap. She didn't even open her eyes as the camera went "click".

Week 1 - 52 Weeks of Jasmine

This is my first contribution to the project. On a whim, I checked and found that I could actually *see* the assignments of the official flickr group, instead of inventing them on my own. Oh well, I'll know better next week.

I thought I'd start this endeavour by posting a photograph depecting Jasmine's personality. I ended up with this. Here she is, in one of her favorite spots in my new house. 

I often see her in this pose if I work around the house or on my laptop. Too lazy to follow me, she rests her chin on the edge of the bed to watch me move from one spot to the next. She also adopts this pose when we're attending agility class and she must wait in her crate while the humans listen faithfully to the instructor.

Jasmine, although very sociable to our cicle of human and dog friends, will likely growl at her first meeting with strangers. If she is ignored however, she quickly becomes your best friend.

Therefore, like a little turtle, Jasmine timidly (and safely?) pokes her head out of her bed to watch the world go by. Once she sees the coast is clear, she'll drown you with welcoming kisses.
