Nikon The Dog

11/12/2023

So with Nikon hanging out at my job of shooting Santa photos at Acadian Village, random people started to ask to have him join them for their Santa portrait. Of course, he was glad to oblige with his Santa hat. Lol!

Update on Nikon The Dog:
He has been busy. On the list is duck retrieving, posing for photos with Santa at Acadian Village, he even made a reappearance to pick up the kicking tee at a Lafayette High football game. Living the life!

On location for a little venue rehearsal/training session. Nikon is ready to go for Thursday night! Squish NISH is the theme and It will be senior night and Nikon will be in the house!
A shout out and big thanks to Lafayette Christian Academy, Pastor Jay, Miller, Athletic Director, Barry Baldwin for their help in making all of this happen. It’s a coming out of retirement party now let’s go Lions!

Nikon The Dog will be back after a break that lasted 5 years. As a 1 and 2 year old, he would pickup the kicking tee after kickoffs at Lafayette High. When his owner was promoted to PA Commentator for the games, Nikon took a break from that gig. By request, he will be returning to the gridiron for Senior night vs NISH this Thursday night. Here is a shot of Nikon attending the Mighty Lions’ practice today to see if he remembered how to do it. So far so good. One more practice session at Knight Stadium tomorrow to get some turf texture reps. LETS GO LIONS!

Nikon has a new little lady who is going to be around quite a bit. Please say hello to his daughter. Her name is Leica. Pronounced “Like-ah”. The name comes from a German make camera named for the family name of the founders, LEI-tz and the word CA-mera. She is a feisty, confident, energetic and beautiful Yellow (fox colored) Labrador. She is now just over 7 weeks old and is the pride of Hailey and Ben (My son and his girlfriend). I’ve included a photo of the 2 of them together on the day they met. Also a quick video of her first day working on some obedience with PawPaw Buf. You all should be seeing lots more posts about this pretty girl as time goes on. Please welcome Leica to our crazy world!

Day 2!

Final count: Nikon and Molli end up with 4 yellow and 3 black Labrador puppies. 4 males and 3 female. Thanks goes out to Molli’s mom Jolynn Sloane for a great experience for our little family to participate in. When she decides about the selling of the puppies, I’ll post that info. Believe me when I say, that with the personalities and intelligence of the parents, you could not go wrong here.

Nikon and Molli’s puppies are being born as we speak. So far 2 yellow males and 1 black female. More to come. Update: add 2 yellow females!

Nikon will soon be a father! This beautiful black lab here will deliver a litter of sure-to-be great puppies. Both parents have great personalities and bloodlines. You can look back on Nikon’s page here to see a lot of the stuff he does and has done. Keep in mind that he was able to learn all these thing under the training of a non-professional trainer, me, his owner. Under a professional, there’s no doubt he would be decorated with all sorts of ribbons and awards. I’m also here to say that he is an awesome pet that lives indoors with us. Putting to rest the myth that pets do not make good hunting dogs. Can’t wait to see the new these puppies!

A “2-ducks-at-a-time” retrieve for Nikon. He’s a Duck Dog, not a camera.

BIG BASKETBALL GAME TONIGHT!!

27/12/2019

Nikon is on a little bed rest. We are monitoring a minor leg injury he got this morning. I’m icing his leg every 30 minutes or so just like Coach Steve has all of his injured players do. You got to have 4 legs at 100% to do the stuff Nikon loves to do. Please Pray for my buddy’s recovery if you get a chance. FYI: He’s not as sad as he looks.

18/11/2019

Patiently awaiting his next gig. That gig is "Opening Day". Coming to a theater near you (east zone) this Saturday!

Nikon will be at Senior Night tonight picking up All-District Kicker Jacques Comeaux's kicking tee after each kickoff. Nikon and I would like to honor Jacques on his last home game in Mighty Lion Stadium. You see Jacques has in a sense helped train Nikon to do this job of getting the tee after Jacques does his thing and Nikon loves to do it! Since #35's sophomore year (before he could kick 55 yard field goals) he made sure Nikon knew where to go on the field. So here's to another member of the Comeaux family's transformation into Great LHS Alumni status and Happy Senior Night Jacques!
