Craner Dog Chronicles

 By the end of each week, I seem to have more pictures on my camera of our dogs.
Some people like taking pictures of their children, nature, etc. I like capturing my pups on camera.
I love their expressions of wonderment and pleasure. Calvin is especially interesting to watch as he is just a pup and learning new things every day. I watch him and swear I can see the wheels turning in his head.

Craner Dogs

Here are some videos of our life with our three dogs. They are Smokee, Ace, and the newest addition, Calvin. Calvin has added a whole new dimension to all of our lives. Since he has gained weight, Ace now plays with him like a dog of his own size. They are amazing to watch. Smokee is happy that his two brothers are occupied with one another.

Calvin

Meet Calvin. He is a birthday / Christmas gift from my husband Dan.
I looked at several litters of puppies in the months leading to finding Calvin in California. At ten weeks he weighed in at twenty three pounds!






Here I am on the day we picked
Calvin up at the breeder.

Calvin is a bit unsure of people...

Riding in the rental car!

Snuggling with Dan at the Grand Sierra
Resort on fine linens.

I could easily get use to this!

My, what big teeth you have!

We are still working on the concept of kennel.

Calvin finally relaxing a bit. It has taken two
weeks for me to get around Calvin to take pictures.

Come on Ace, PLAY!

Calvin loves wet dog food. To gain his trust, I hand feed
him twice a day.

My sweet boy has come a long way in the short time
he has lived with Dan and I. I love watching Calvin
grow every day and discover new things. He is an
amazing pup! Thank you Dan!
