<p>Here I am snowshoeing with my peeps at Mount Seymor in January.</p>

<p>Here we are on our first hike of The Chief...it was March and the snow was still on the mountain.  It made for some interesting challenges for all of us, but we made to the top of Peak 3 and across to Peaks 2 and 1 for a fun morning of hiking.</p>

I was so excited to see him I couldn't settle down for several minutes.&amp;nbsp; I gave him lot's of kisses to tell him how much I missed him and then I led him to the door so we could go out and play. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was a dreary, rainy day but that doesn't bother me much as long as I'm with my herd.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To see some pictures of my day, check out my photo album at: &lt;a href="http://www.bluethewonderdog.com/photos/april_2008_beach_with_unc/"&gt;http://www.bluethewonderdog.com/photos/april_2008_beach_with_unc/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We were playing at the park, and a gentleman stopped to ask if it was okay to take my pictures.&amp;nbsp; It turns out, the gentleman was Noah Fallis, a professional photographer from Calgary, AB.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Noah took some great photos of me, which you can view on my &lt;a href="http://www.affordableintelligence.com/photos/may_2007_photographer_noa/index.html"&gt;photo album&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, I was already tired from running, so I wasn't being a very co-operative model (Imagine that, a diva model!). I really just wanted to lay on the grass and enjoy the sun.&amp;nbsp; And where's my cookie?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know Noah wanted to capture that perfect shot of me catching my Aerobie - I guess he'll just have to come back to Vancouver and play with me again. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do check out his website at &lt;a href="http://www.noahfallis.com/"&gt;www.noahfallis.com&lt;/a&gt;. He has a great portfolio of professional photography and design work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
