Our dog Shadow

[George McGovern]

18. Awww, you're so sweet.

Sophie has kind eyes. As if she'll do anything you ask just to please you, knowing you'll reward her. Verbally, and likely with a treat.

I love your top picture, side portraits are real neat to look at. Appeaing. The bottom photo is really neat, I think. Sophie curled up with the black lines crossing her body, which makes her "stand out.." I can see why these are two of your favorites!

I'm glad you feel flattered, Diamond_Dog, although I don't consider myself particular talented: just that I've been taking pictures for more than thirty years and sooner or later I was bound to learn something. I am humbled when someone sees and likes one of my photos. I've been blessed with the ability to "see" a scene and what it'll likely look like as a picture in my head before clicking the shutter. I am happy to pay you compliment; I hope it reinforces your own gift for sharing Sophie with the rest of us.

Thank you, D_D - hope to see more of your dear Sophie.
