capture the light 

CodyP & OnyxE pose for the camera as a start for the day. Then it's rears in the air, hydrate, water refill time! Lola sits in the shaded sun and acts tough...Gabby meets Malcolm & Malcolm's ears do weird things, while B-MO gives us a side look and then straightens out for a glance, while Malcolm & Gabby dance in the setting sun...Chopper gives us a huge smile!....Then the party starts, everyone is laughing!... (You know when you laugh so much it starts to hurt, that was a glorious part of the day)...Belle Park & Jango laugh erratically at each other while Chopper cheers them on & Tucker(bowtie) gets ready to invade...We do a flip around and Belle kinda laughs while Jango tells her a wild story with animation (of the facial kind)...Malcolm gives us a big smile and we spot Jessica Nicholson sitting down in the little yard with Shakira, Milo, Bernie & Tobe...Then we spy Cody P in the corner while Cedar gives us a look...Then it's time for "naptime wrestling" with Belle & Remy, as Malcolm tries to get in on the picture...Jill & Odin snuggle while Sawyer laughs & Wesley looks for lovin...Mika yells hello...Then we have sweet lil Smudge and his crooked lips...Odin stops running to pause for a snapshot and Kasey gives us a nervous smile from the corner...Miles & Sawyer say hey on their way out to the outside to play! Mochi flies by with a smile- OHMY GOSH-the big yard!-...Goose & Maverick give us separate smiles...and Natasha comes flying towards the camera!!! Then the birthday party for Sawyer begins...Miles takes the first dance! And then it's Natasha's turn, (sometimes you gotta save the best for last), Smudge & Cody run out to see what's going on...then Odin comes rushing out as well... And the real PARTY begins with Natasha & Sawyer hard core dancing...Wesley comes in for an extreme close-up, Cedar gives Jes kisses and Taro & Smudge tell each other secrets...Kasey comes out from under the slide...Wesley gives us a first-day grin, while Taro & Yuca agree it's about time to go home...wait ...is that Wesley the doodle with Sawyer, (he turned 2 and is sooo grown up he's willing to be in photographs with doodles!)...Look at those big boy smiles! Onward to the small doggy yard... Max flies to the camera, while look-alikes Moxie & Milo try to chase him down...but he's wild and on a roll, Laguna & Freki join in the game, but really it's all about Milo & Max & laughter...Shakira peeks out for a smile and London takes a jog outside...Laguna takes Shakira under her wing as they gaze into the sky...then we come across the indoor crew line-up; FinnB, MaxL & Chewie, as SidneyP prances over to say hi...Finn tiredly looks up as Max gives us a BIG yawn...Tobe comes in for a closeup snuggle & Chewie runs by with a laugh as Kahlua daydreams on the play structure and Finn stares off to the great beyond...Champ & Lil Sis Coco relax for a moment and then we are taken to Laguna's running outside & then Hugo decides it looks like fun & joins in the race...Tobe gives us a broken-heart look from the doorway & comes in for snuggles and kisses with Jes...Inside Arthur gives us a grunt and Sidney needs a hug, while Shakira & Makena & Max monitor the yard from the bridge...Caesar & Chopper sit calmly in the middle of the yard next door...Jedd relaxes for just a moment and SIdney gives us the love-look as Bernie tries to figure out what she is "saying." Arthur begins his crash of the afternoon and Sophie & Milo cuddle in the corner with Jes, then Jedd shares a few poses with us... Gracie & Moxie touch noses under Bella's pretty beard...and are concerned with her mood, Milo joins her to look out onto the yard as Aspen climbs & London strolls...Gracie licks her lips as Freki tries to figure out what she could be eating! Bella gives us a look while Coco simply stands in the huge yard by herself...and oh~ there's Aspen in the corner! Moxie tries really hard to help out Bella in anyway she can (mother-hen syndrome)... Charlie stirs up excitement as he enters the yard...And tries to pull a Dumbo (tries to fly away with his ears)...then engages in nose touching with the other beagles, first Tobe & then Max, who wins the prize...Bella tries to smile but she's thinking about her ma, God Bless Her Soul...while inside Max & Mile wrestle like rabbits and Shakira finds a playmate... HugoB...Finally Hugo goes to check on Bella and Theodore goes to see if she wants to "talk."
