Dog-based blip

This is Travis. He has 320 friends on facebook, and while I'm not in that elite group, it's me who's looking after him for his doggie sleepover. He came with a sleeping bag *ahhhhh*.

He is actually a black and white dog. The orange is from here (I'm guessing he probably doesn't walk this way often if this is the result!). They're very different dogs. While ours will steer herself round a puddle, this boy was not only having a full fur experience, he was dunking under for long forgotten sticks. His thick long hair holding, at a guess, about three times as much water (based on my quiz performance, that will be incorrect!).
He does not sit still. His muzzle-swoops easily out-running an iphone 'shutter'.
The interplay though between our dog and Travis is amazingly creative and sensitive, though excitability has brought 'consequences'. Yes, we're there again :-(
