Home Abby K-9 "Love me, love my dog." This folder contains albums with general photos of our German Shepherd, Abby K-9, as well as ourselves. I guess you could call this the miscellaneous picture file, since the pictures in here don't have one specific theme. albums: 10 Friends, Critters & Family "Everyone is a friend, until they prove otherwise." This folder contains albums with pictures of our friends and pals, whether they're human, canine, feline, or other species. Pictures of dogs we've fostered go here as well. If you're our friend and your picture's missing, please make sure to send it to us via the email link on the blog. subfolders: 3 Training & Work This folder contains albums with pictures of Abby and us at training and at work. Our philosophy is that training throughout a dog's lifetime is the frame for having a happy dog you can include in your activities. Abby's work resume includes: mascot and honorary recruiter; therapy dog; and herding dog. subfolders: 4 Places & Travels "Tourists don't know where they've been; travelers don't know where they're going." This folder holds albums with pictures from our travels, sorted alphabetically by state and location. These are places, historical sites, museums, and main streets in (mostly) our state as well as the surrounding states. subfolders: 3 Living History This folder has photo albums showing us at various living history events we have attended. Living history, also known as re-enacting, is a fun way to learn more about history and to educate others. It's about research as much as it is about sharing that research by talking to the public, showing your gear, and explaining how things were done in the time period you portray. subfolders: 4 Special Events This folder holds albums with photos from special events and special occasions that we have attended: parades, public gatherings, to open house-type events. Basically all events that don't fit into the other categories below. subfolders: 3 Rescue This folder contains photos from our volunteer work with Virginia German Shepherd Rescue, such as photos taken during temperament evaluations of shelter dogs, rescue transports, or rescue events such as local dog events and adoption days. subfolders: 3 The Great Outdoors This folder has albums with pictures of us doing all kinds of of outdoorsy things: hiking, camping, and BBQing with friends, and the like. It currently mostly has photos from our pack and day hikes, as well as our favorite parks. subfolders: 4 Everything Else As the title suggests, this is a folder where everything that doesn't fit elsewhere goes. "Everything else" being everything from random pictures taken along the roadside, photos of our home, pictures from horse shows and other pony-related subjects, and so on, and so forth. subfolders: 5 Custom & Modified K-9 Gear This folder holds a couple of albums with things such as custom dog equipment, modified dog equipment, and various other items. Some of the things you'll find in here are modified backpacks, blankets, leashes, custom-made collars, as well as other dog-related things I've made. albums: 4 Free K-9 Downloads A folder with free German Shepherd (mostly) icons, graphics, cards, wallpapers, and other items that you can use on your website or message boards.
