52 Weeks of Corgis in 2010: Week 9/52 - Nikita's "Markings"

"Nikita's Markings"

This photograph of Nikita and a similar image of Cody this week, were taken intentionally to focus on their eyes with part of their muzzles in the picture.  Neither image was cropped.   The room was pretty dark, but only two hours left in the day for me to honestly say I took it in week 9, I was determined to capture that shot that told the day/week.   Like Cody's image, I used a flash that could've served as a beacon.   After I took this shot of Nikita, I quickly took a look at the image I just captured through the camera and couldn't stop laughing.  Maybe only a mom can appreciate it.   Nikita was not amused, but Cody was interested in what Nikita could've possibly have done to get such a jovial reaction from me. After-wards, I recreated the same shot with Cody.   Wasn't able to recreate it with Dockers.   

Nikita is usually pretty easy to photograph.  Can some canines be photogenic like some people?    Nikita is photogenic.  Although, in this image, you can't nearly appreciate his markings and patterns as you might more easily be able to do with Cody or Dockers.   Nevertheless, Nikita has a beautiful face...and his eyes tell all.

"Cozy Nikita"

On this chilly winter's eve, Nikita has found a favorite spot in front of the fireplace. The thing is, this is my favorite spot.

How can I deny that sweet face and persona the best seat in front of the fire? He knows how to quietly and brillantly work me. A very Cozy Nikita.

"An Exuberant Nikita"

One of the many beautiful qualities about children is that if you don't restrain them from showing their emotions, their wonderment and happiness are transparent. Fur-kids are no exception to this. You can't hide pure joy.

Even though there's gray skies and a day of unexpected winter rain, Nikita is exuberant to stretch his legs and run through wet outside conditions.

"Corgi Golf Ball Shagger"

When Nikita witnesses Hubby with the golf ball shagger, he literally goes nuts. He starts whimpering and creates Corgi cries of happiness as he races into position to receive and chase chipped golf balls. He retrieves the balls and creates a nice neat pile of them.

We didn't teach him this routine...he started doing it out of the blue one day and has been doing it ever since. He's been patient and diligent in instructing Cody of his rules and strategies on being the best Corgi Golf Ball Shagger in golfing history!

... And Cody Takes the Lead

"...And Cody Takes The Lead"

It was late afternoon and even though the boys had already been playing hard during the last half-hour, they still wanted to play another round of ball.

Cody is quite a sprite now. He's easily out running Dockers and Nikita during ball playing. I think he's actually giving them chances to get the ball too sometimes. Here, he takes the lead and proudly pulls to the front of his elders.
