One proud graduate of obedience school. Have I mentioned the incredible intelligence of little black dogs?

The wife's Z2 continue's to suprise, capturing a couple of black dogs chasing some sort of terrier. 1/500s, f/5.0, ISO 100, if anyone's interested. 

Little black dogs sure love to run.

Remember this picture? Isn't it amazing what color/contrast correction and sharpening can do for a picture?

Look at the depth in that picture! On a bright day, setting the f-stop to 5 or higher and the shutter speed to 1/500 or faster can yield some amazing pictures. Of course, the sharpening effect in Picasa 2 doesn't hurt any either. 

You can bet someone got a bath when we got home. 

Can't a little black dog get some privacy? 

Behold the beauty of my little black dog!
