Blue Monday #31: "Tonka at Theyland Stables"


"Waiting, Impatiently"
Raleigh, NC - February 2009 (Click to embiggen)


Whenever possible I take Tonka along for photo shoots. He's good company and I know he'll always have my back which allows me to focus on the shooting rather than what's going on behind me. On this day though, I had to leave him to watch the truck because there was a rehabilitated Red Tail Hawk about to be released into the wild after a stay in hospital and we couldn't have the dogs trying to figure out what that was in the box. He wasn't a fan of being left alone, but he dealt with it like the pro he is.Violence Unsilenced

Yay. I like it when Tonka makes an appearance, he's so photogenic yet you neglect him terribly. :)

You have done a better job with him than I have done with my companion! He would have barked his throat soar!

Big or little they seem to always get impatient with us. :) But are such great companions that we don't mind. Tonka looks like a real sweetheart!

Seems like a good boy.

He looks like he's wishing you would hurry up and what could possibly be so important that you kept him waiting in the first place. ;)

They always look so sad as they guard the car, don't they? What a sweetie!
I am hosting 13 giveaways this week. I hope you'll stop by.

Mojo,
he is a lab? I am sure he would have Loved that hawk! It is nice to have a friend that watches your back.
