Today I was out and about in Fitzroy and saw two dogs that could have conceivably found their way onto this blog... But something stopped me from trying to meet them. I think because the next dog I meet and photograph will be the first 'real time' dog that goes on this blog - the rest are those I met prior to this starting. So there is some trepidation attached!
I spotted a black pug - he was quite young, and made me laugh as he walked along Smith Street... well, ran is more accurate, as due to the distance between his legs and the length of them from the ground, he had to run to keep up with the pace set by his owners... And to add to that, he also seemed to run with both his right legs hitting the ground, then both his left legs... which made his run seem very off-centre and very amusing. Then when his owners stopped to cross the road, he was absolutely exhausted. Heaving and making lots of noise while trying to catch his breath - and then they were off again!
The second dog was on Johnston Street - he was sitting at the front door of an antique shop. He looked very old and had little hair left. He didn't seem all that friendly, and really didn't want to respond when I said hello. I'm not quite sure what he was - perhaps a Jack Russell terrier crossed with something else?
The third and final dog was a small-ish brown haired monster that was full of life and energy. I said hello to him as he passed me outside the Malthouse - he really didn't pay attention, as he was too busy enjoying his stroll! His owner smiled, and I considered stopping to get his photo, but something told me to let this one go - but he was by far the most interesting dog and incredible photo candidate! Not sure of his breed though...
