I can't believe I got these shots
« on: April 11, 2008, 09:29 PM »
No drum roll needed, Lucius took care of the "roll" part all on his own:

All's well at first:

I did say at first, right? Lucius biffs it:

Its a complete roll, you can see his back feet up in the air:

Will he make it?

HE LIVES!


I thought these were pretty funny (once I made sure Lucius was ok) since we were talking about puppies not being graceful earlier :) Case and point!

Actually no. Lucius has been this "graceful" pretty often lately, I was positive he would come out of it fine.  ;)

I am glad he is okay.  That was funny.  Seems wrong to laugh about it though.  So I will stop looking at them because I can't help not laughing!  Poor boy, his moment of shame caught on film.

What awesome pictures! I'm so impressed that he rolled all the way over and kept running like nothing happened. You're calling it an oops, but I'm pretty sure he planned it.
In fact, I think y'all must have discussed it before hand for you to be able to get the shot. How many tries did it take really?  ;)

I agree, LOL  ;D.  Great shots though.  It always amazes me how they can take a tumble and just keep going.  They are a hearty breed.

 That second one looks like his upper body is either gone or stuck in a huge hole! Good shot with the camera Kelley!
