This pupper posed still as a statue for me.

Because she IS a statue!

1. You had me going there for a minute, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Beautiful shots, even if they are of a statue!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Ha Ha Thank you Peggy!

We bought her because she so closely resembles our real dog. For some reason she just ignores it.

3. I suspect she ignores it because she knows she's the Real Thing! nt

5. I suspect you are correct !

7. With the dog's sharp sense of smell,...

.... the distinct plaster/clay whiff is likely a quick giveaway.

Nice photo among the ferns.

8. Right again, about the dog's nose.

That’s like their main information processing center! Same goes for animals on the TV set.

Thank you for the kind words!

4. Heh

That really appears to be a live dog in the lower photo.

6. It does make people do a double take!

9. Ha! You got me!

Very cool photos. Great framing.

Your ferns and hostas look healthy. My ferns are beginning to turn brown from the top. Happens every year.

10. Thank you Mousetoescamper!

I have a lot of shade in my yard, so the ferns and Hostas do well. Although the ferns looked pretty awful until about mid summer.
