Doggy picspam and stuff
Since some of the people on my f-list have been asking me to take pics of my dog and share for quite some time, I thought it was a great opportunity to try to catch Rygel in the still when my sister came to visit with her half professional photo camera. Because you know, he's so fidgety, always in motion - the way most of the dogs are. It makes it

He just woke up in that picture and he's sleepy, at those times he tends to be very affectionate like a child craving for touching and physical contact :)
I think he's used to being able to get your attention :) How long have you had him?
For two years now. He was practically homeless when we found him.
You have a good eye for location photos - the pictures from around Moscow are lovely. I particularly like the shot of the statue - whereabouts was that taken?
Thank you. The photo was taken not far from my grand parents' summer cottage in a small town Dmitrov; it's population is about 60.000. It was founded in the XII-th century in the broken country, which isn't very typical for Moscow's vicinities and it's beautiful in the summer, has several old churches, and we get there by car (takes about 20 minutes, 30 min - by train) mostly for shopping in grocery stores and taking a walk. When I was little I used to go there to play tennis (my grand-dad was trying to teach me) because it's the nearest place to their summer cottage where there are tennis courts.

Dogs can be like that, I think - and it shows that you're good to him, because he wouldn't be like that otherwise. It's nice to e adored, yes?

How did you come to find him? It's good that you rescued him - it makes the world better, in a small way.

It sounds like a lovely place to visit; how much of the original town is still there? I'm curious whether you learned to play tennis - every time school tried to teach me, I was awful at it.

I think as any dog he would get attached to any master he'd be given a chance with.

Sometimes it's very pleasant, especially when important people around are judging you harshly or your parents aren't satisfied with the choices you make or when you just happened to have a bad day and there he is - looking at you fondly like you're the only one in the universe, barking happily when you offer him even the tiniest bit of your attention, you know... it really helps. In some ways he's the best boyfriend a girl could have :)) And I think I'm just as lucky to have him as he's to have me in his life. But there are other times when his habit to follow me everywhere is getting on my nerves when I'm not in the mood to talk to him and play with him and just want some personal space to be alone. Not that it's a problem though, I can always tell him to go to kitchen for a few hours and we manage to come to an agreement anyways. :)

He was left in the garage near the building site in Podolsk, it's about 45 km away from Moscow, and we were just going by when I noticed him and asked a guy there if the dirty puppy belonged to anyone.

The citadel on the hill, a few churches, monuments and a museum is pretty much all of what's left of the original town. Unfortunately the oldest wooden church of the XIII-th century was burned to aches, although it could be called a common practice for many Russian churches. Thousands of them either were burned in the Middle Ages (wood isn't exactly the most solid material) or they were destroyed during the Civil War or Great Patriotic War (WW2).

Yes, surely it's not even half professional tennis but I can play, it's sorta hobby and a way to spend some time, given a company can play and wants to :)
They don't teach to play tennis at our schools, basketball and volleyball, skiing and football - that's the general 'school sports' here. So my "tennis education" is my grand dad's heritage plus some practice with more experienced players. :)
