Maddie, William, George and Meg
Evan Emailed me the link thinking that I would enjoy the frolicking Terrier shot. He had no idea that the dogs in the photo were indeed mine and that the photo was taken by me too.....albeit one from ten years ago now.
How strange.
How strange that our work, our photographs and our ideas can be all be " out there" forever and a day almost without us knowing or remembering .
It is pretty freaky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo though.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely shot. They are all youngish dogs back then too
Deleteand William and George are still part of the pack.
Delete😔and are so slow nowadays ... old boys xx
DeleteOnline identity theft? Scary!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Greeting Maria 🐶
DeleteIt's bloody scary actually, it's like Big Brother, everything we say or do on the internet is monitored one way or another. Lovely photo of the dogs though, they all look like they were having a great time.
ReplyDeleteAlso on newbees here won't of heard of maddie...( first dog) an old Scottie bitch who had the aloofness of a queen
DeleteI found your blog just before Maddie died, seems so long ago.
DeletePeter
That's the internet. Let's not blame the medium. We use it. And, in return, are, occasionally, being used. Albeit use of your dogs a nice one.
ReplyDeleteWe can't walk from A to B without CCTV following our every step. Freaks me out if I think about it. So I don't. Welcome to Big Brother. Let's hope he is a benign one.

I wasn't blaming anyone I was just thinking how strange it was
Delete"Cry havoc, and let slip the terriers of war!" Mark Antony, Julius Caesar Version 2.0, Act 3 Scene 1
ReplyDeleteHis " Two Terriers of Verona " was a masterpiece also
Delete"The Comedy of Terriers" was pretty good too.
DeleteRomeo and Ter-rie-r
Delete" The Taming Of The Terrier"
DeleteJune and Terrier .... there I stopped it getting too high brow ;-)
DeleteTom and Terrie?! x
DeleteMy favorite was the Three Faces of the Terrier.
DeleteSecond fave - Gone With the Terrier
Someone was impressed by your work enough to use it, that is a great photo. I've had people use my written work pretending it was their own on the internet. It would be nice if they asked permission or gave you credit. I hope you just feel flattered by their admiration.- Mary
ReplyDeleteVaguely amused Mary
DeleteIt's a wonderful photo full of action, how strange to be sent it and realise it was your own photo !
ReplyDeleteHe was amused by the Scottie Welsh Terrier mix and thought I'd enjoy it
DeleteAs soon as we commit our written words to the internet they become public property - scary indeed John.
ReplyDeleteI have made a mistake in their field before by naming someone I should not have without their permission , the oversight was ghastly
DeleteWhat a fantastic photo. You should put it on your blog page.
ReplyDeleteI will and I
DeleteThe cool thing about this blog is that the subject matter is all over the place....in a good way! Never boring, always something you weren't expecting leading your readers to a new direction of thought or comment. Surprise me again tomorrow OK?
ReplyDeleteOk I'll take a selfie with no clothes on
DeleteThat'll surprise ya
Oh good grief, I do hope you don't!
DeleteRight I'm going to sue xx
DeleteI can use my vivid imagination....I'll be generous,tee hee.
DeleteMy stuff, however poor, is copyrighted. I'll freely give permission, but it would be nigh if folks asked me.
ReplyDeleteDo u know. I have no idea how to copyright stuff
DeleteYou don't have to do anything to copyright words and photos, they are covered by copyright as soon as you make them, even without any "copyright" notice. People should not do these things without at least giving credit and a link back to the source, but of course they do.

DeleteApologies for duplication, was just trying but failing to correct the initial inactive link on my name. Suppose now I am just adding further "spam". Oh well...
DeleteMany a time I've been on Google Images and found lots of my own blog photos ... and I've seen them on other peoples blogs!
ReplyDeleteMine included...I think I've always asked permission though?
DeleteYou have, as have some others ☺
DeleteThat is so beautiful it made me weepy-your dogs running for joy x
ReplyDeleteMe too Do flis. Far right is meh. My first co pilot
DeleteI cried the day Meg passed away. Her final ride as copilot made me cry for days.
DeleteI've read your blog for years but I think this is my first comment Hi John!
It's kinda cool actually that your photo now has a life of its own on the internet!
ReplyDeleteWhich website had used that picture in its banner? Perhaps The Shropshire Dogging Society?
ReplyDeleteDirty boy
DeleteWow, that IS strange! I've never come across any of my pictures THAT randomly, but I've been contacted by people who often want to use them -- and although I usually say yes, I bet for every person who asks, there are plenty who don't.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are destructive and magnificent Steve you should copyright them
DeleteYou took the photo, so you own the copyright. You should ask them to credit you with the photo at the very least. Too many people assume a photo is free to use just because it's on the 'Net. It isn't.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too bothered but if they purposely said they had taken it I would be miffed
DeleteI never really worried since no one reads my blog anyway lol; however I was on Google images one day and pictures came up, that really startled me. Years ago there was a blogger that everyone in group was friends with, turned out to be a total fake, the person had been taking posts and pictures from other blogs for years. It happened one day that the original posters came across the false blogger.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Your blog Steve is popular!!!!
DeleteEeeerie. And somehow consoling even the ones that have left us, will 'live' on forever. Four bundles of life and joy.

DeleteOf course I am.baking tomorrow for my sister's open day.in her garden
DeleteWhat a wonderful photograph. It made me smile, just the joyousness of it! Thanks for sharing.x
ReplyDeleteIt makes me tear up
DeleteA great picture. Anything I put online, I expect someone will some day, use - not much I can do about it.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, I was at the Lincoln Memorial taking a picture of travel penguin perched on my finger. A couple of days later, someone posted a comment, a picture me, taking that picture. I freaked just a little on that one.
Although I was not negative about The photo The web page has now beenremoved
Deleteafter I left a comment.in the comment.box
This should be a caution to those who put pictures of their children and grandchildren on the Internet. It is not a safe or honest world out there.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is great though.
Sad but correct x
DeleteI like the photo. It can do your head in to think about the future from that angle.
ReplyDeleteThink about the future?
DeleteThe photo is lovely John I would take it as a compliment if someone used one of my photos.
ReplyDeleteI was happy they used it, but was surprised they pulled the page when I said something in their comment box
DeleteYou will live on, John......and on.....and on. lol
ReplyDeleteAnd I go on and on and on and on
DeleteOur words and photos can have a long life on the internet, perhaps hundreds of years. It is kind of spooky. And a trip back in time to see your dogs romping on the beach.
ReplyDeleteA double edge sword
DeleteHow amazing. And weird. Nice that you found out in such a positive way.
ReplyDeleteOh John, they are so young here! This touched my heart strings. Their older but still your loving, loyal clan! Gabs
ReplyDeleteGreat pic John . . .
ReplyDeleteIt was sort of a gift, wasn't it ? A memory .. a sweet time and the beloved dogs .. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of thing kind of creeps me out. There’s always someone watching and waiting....bwahahahaha.....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful foto that captures pure joy and exuberance, freedom, and love in a moment that is timeless and evocative now and forevermore, bringing smiles, happiness, and stirring the hearts of all who gaze upon such beauty and delight, such a magical experience to behold.
ReplyDeleteYou have created a masterpiece. Revel and cherish the wondrous art you've crafted and left for all the world to marvel and adore.
I love the dogs being so free on the beach. Absolutely resplendent and jovial.

ReplyDeleteCaptured!! Your photo showing what a joyous life your four legged family members live - wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteDon't you often think we should take more notice of how dogs engage the world?? More fun, live in the moment, welcome everyone with a smile ( but leave out the butt sniffing and the waggy tail) Elle xx

DeleteIt’s really a great and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you simply shared this helpful information with us.

These are the small dogs with moustaches right?
ReplyDeleteBeards yes
DeleteAwww, I love that! I do google image searches for things, ideas, etc all the time and I quite often find one of my own photos and it's kind of weird. Everything we do online will be there, somewhere, forever.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo too!
ReplyDeleteThe photo captures a moment in time, when your dogs were so happy, we could all learn a lot from dogs. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Dogs are simply the best. Janx.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere out there, there is also a photo of you in your underpants, weeding in your garden.
ReplyDeleteOn a niche " specialist " website no doubt
DeleteIndeed, after my 11½ years of blogging, goodness knows what embarrassing stuff is drifting around on the internet! My searches for the perfect murder method, arson the easy way and fly-tipping for beginners must all be out there somewhere. The mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo....and yes we do put ourselves out there :)
ReplyDeleteI love this photo.
ReplyDeleteThe owner of another "dog" blog I follow is a fabulous photographer, and she was notified by a follower that another person was using her photos on this person's blog, and even pretending that they were her dogs! Bizarre... She sent her some kind of notice about violating rules of usage and that she needed to cease and desist. There ARE rules about this...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture. It would make an excellent screen saver.
ReplyDeleteSo many strange and wonderful things happen. I once posted about the wood floors we put in after living with wretched concrete ones for 2 years. A year or two later, my oldest daughter in San Diego was working at her desk and her office mates were discussing wood floors. One girl pulled up a photo and said, "I like these wood floors", which made my daughter look up. She told them, "That's my mom's house!" Such a coincidence.
