I realize you don’t want to see more pictures of my new dog,
August 30, 2007
but I’ve never felt this way about a dog. I’m not expecting comments or anything; I just feeling very evangelical about this particular dog, like I need to share.
And for someone who knows next to nothing about taking pictures, this one came out real nice:
I’ll try to restrain myself from posting more, but you have to admit, this is an unusually terrific dog.

And Alex said you weren’t a dog person…yeah, right. You just didn’t THINK you were a dog person. You’re WHIPPED, man. Welcome to the club.

I absolutely do want to see more pictures but I also think you need to share her in person.
My family and I are itching to come see her. Let me know when Becky is ready for visitors. I promise we will leave the wild Izzy at home.

Oh, she’s adorable. Thanks for sharing your new puppy with all of us. Enjoy her! Love the third picture, btw.

There’s nothing wrong with sharing pictures and your love of a new family member! She’s beautiful and so are your pictures.

Thanks, you all, for more kind comments about the dog.
Charles–whipped is about right, but I think it’s still localized, i.e., I think I like only this dog.
LM–she’s pretty cuddly, if you don’t mind some wiggling.
Joy, please come and see her soon!

That should be, “she”. But you knew that.

She looks like Josephine, and Alexandra says she has her sweet disposition. No wonder you love her.

Lots more pictures please, she is lovely. My mom says she’s never been a dog person either, and she grew up scared of dogs. I’ve totally changed her attitude (just towards me!). Happy days

Alex has been holding back on her blog! Now I know where to go to find the canine pics. That last one is amazing!

You say you know nothing about Photography. Well, you’ve done a great job. The point of view shot of her on the deck was wonderful. One tip though: The key to close up photography like that is to focus on the eyes.
Nice work! Great dog!

our first dog as a married couple was Molly the bassett hound. We had her for 11 wonderful years and she was a great dog…..Post as many pictures as you would like….it is wonderful to see them! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, the little guy is pretty darn cute, too!!!
