Snarg.

Considering I had Monday off, this week has gone so slow.

I had a couple of photos on my camera camera but I accidentally deleted them in my half-awake state. Just a couple of macros; nothing inspired.

The 4 continues to impress me. App creators are really doing wonders with the camera, and I’ve now settled on a mix of Hipstamatic and Camera+ as a complete replacement for the native camera app. Camera+ could be a little quicker to respond, but you can’t argue with the results. Well, you could, but you’d be stupid to – they’re photos; they can’t argue back.

As I said, I’m not one for raucous birthdays so the aftermath is pretty tame. With that in mind, a lazy, pathetic dog, a chocolate pudding and a shitload of washing up.

I’ve switched to my 50mm for a little while. Thinking about selling the 24-70 and getting a 35mm prime – it’s like £1000 just sat in my camera bag most of the time. Seems such a waste.

I have to leave him in his crate on his own. I haven’t felt this bad in so long, even though I know it’s for his own good.

Been teaching Sudo that not every ball is his, and that he’s only allowed to go for it when he’s told. He’s not perfect yet, but he’s much better and just so damn cute when trying to restrain himself.

I’ve started having Sudo up with me whilst I work. It’s completely changed his behaviour – he’s a lot more chilled out most of the time now, and he’s really good company. I thought he’d be super annoying, but he sits quietly waiting for strokes and occasionally chases Amelie. So proud of this dog and all the praise he gets from strangers!

After much work on the garden and an order of furniture, we’re finally getting to a stage that we can just sit and relax out there. Sudo’s really enjoying it as well – he can wee whenever he feels like it!

Sudo has a girlfriend. She’s really helping him with his confidence with other dogs, which is quite comforting. He’s still very subservient with other dogs (including her – he spends most of his time getting bowled over!) but he plays a lot and seems to enjoy it and that’s all I care about.

Action shots are not my forté so these aren’t great, but you can tell how much fun they have.

Dunno why, but 6 months seems like so much longer than 28 weeks. Odd. Tried something different with the old side profile. I think he looks adorable. So do you.

Sudo’s 6 months old today, apparently. I’ve been going by weeks, so this crept up on me somewhat. Looking back, again, it’s so strange to see how much he’s changed!

Here! See!

And today…

What a doggy day it’s been today.
