tyson

Tyson’s a sweet young pit mix, not yet 2 years old.  We met out at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve – a spot I’d been wanting to have a session, but hadn’t yet (note to self:  tall grass = chiggers… and chigger bites if you’re an idiot and don’t take precautions).  After several minutes of taste-testing the various grasses available, Tyson was ready for his photo shoot.  A natural model, that boy.  His mom’s been working hard with him, and their work is definitely paying off.

I always think “sock puppet” when the bullies tip their heads back and smile their jumbo smiles (see left below).

The boy’s got some moves.

That green frog appears in a lot of photos — I had brought it with me but Tyson took a VERY strong liking to it.  It’s by far the cheapest dog toy I’ve ever purchased – I only bought it because it has a good, loud, easy squeak.  Tyson didn’t care – he carried it around the entire session (luckily, he killed the squeaker almost instantly).

How great is the heart patch right on his chest?!?!
