Does my head make my ears look fat?
This sweet puppy's name is Lady. She probably has more personality than any other dog we have photographed. She is tiny, so small she could fit on Roy's open palm, and she is very happy and very playful. She was in a kennel by herself and that made her look even tinier. As we walk down the corridor between the rows of kennels, the dogs bark so loudly we can hardly hear each other talk, and they jump up and down, and climb up their fence trying to get to us. She just stood there by her door, quietly looking up at us and wagging her tail. She had no idea what any of this was all about, but she knew she wanted out where the people were!
As fun as it is to photograph puppies, I usually resist because we have only so much time and I like to help the bigger, older dogs get some recognition. Puppies adopt easily. Bigger dogs need a little more help. So the first time we walked through, we resisted Lady's big, brown eyes and wagging tail. But Roy went out later to get one last dog to photograph, and came back with this one. She got to him! He even asked (in way too serious of a tone) if we could take her home. She really is a charmer!
Her tail was wagging so hard as Roy was playing with her that she kept turning her head trying to figure out what was going on back there! She was so playful---jumping, licking, rolling over, carrying toys around, chasing Roy's hand, trying to crawl up his arm to get on his chest and lick his face. She is a sweetheart!
Roy was holding her, talking to her as I was changing something on my camera and I heard him say, "You have no idea, do you? You have no idea how bad it can be out there. I sure hope you never have to find out."
Yeah, we almost brought her home.
But we didn't, and she is still waiting to bring pure joy into someone's life and home. Check her out here
and then call and make an appointment to meet her. No strings attached. Take her for a walk outside, let her get some fresh air and exercise, and spend a little time with her.
And don't bother mentioning that her ears might be a little big for her body. She really couldn't care less.
