A happy memory of Lady

LADY
A STILL-YOUNG LADY
I think my favorite memory of Lady came shortly after we got her.

 She'd gotten out of the yard (again), and I was ready to go look for her. Then I noticed a fluffy tail waving in a neighbor's yard.

 As I walked toward her, she noticed me. She looked happy as she raced toward me. I lowered my upper body and spread my arms; she jumped into my arms and started licking my face.

 I carried her inside (she was maybe 40 pounds then) to get her leash; then we went for a walk.

 We had other great memories, but that one still stands out. She couldn't look happier, and I felt the same way.

Dixie, waiting to get out of the cold

We haven't figured out how to make Dixie photogenic. Sure, we have a photo of Dixie at the Forsyth Humane Society and another of her and me that was taken at the dog park.

 But her standalone shots haven't been that great. They've looked posed, not natural, like the ones I made with Lady (who passed on Sept. 17, 2016; we got Dixie 10 days later).

 At left is one of the best photos Holly has taken of her; obviously, it was shot after a snow here in the Triad of North Carolina.

I've had no luck so far, but I'll keep trying.

 Sadly, Dixie is not a natural model, as Lady was.
