Beautiful looking dog
I lost my dog when I was 21 - at 40 I still have not had another pet
Weird thinking going on - but I just can't bring myself to replace her
And we work too much to be able to properley look after another mutt

Gorgeous ... and you're torturing me since I've just sold my 77 Ltd (so sad to see it go).

You can never replace a pet. They are all unique We lost our last two doggies a few years ago [sniff], and now have two more lovely doggies who are now 8 years old. We never look upon them as replacements.Beautiful looking dog

When you have more time to look after another doggie please get one ( or two so it has a companion). There's so many doggies out there who need some love

Bess is so slow these days, her legs aren't what they used to be.
Last April my mother-in-law passed away and a few days later Bess had a terrible stroke. Coming after the loss of Eiddwen it was an emotional time. I thought the dog was a goner - three days of visits to the vets for treatment and she was fine. Incredible. I dread the day that I have to let her go.

Gorgeous image of a beautiful animal - love her expression - it could melt icebergs.
Given my forum name and avatar - it would be pretty difficult to not guess I have a soft spot for dogs
Fritz is a German short haired Pointer around 9 years old now and has been with us since he was around 18 months old when my wife 'imported' him from Ireland. He is believed to have been a 'failed' gun dog abandoned and run over by a van resulting in a broken pelvis among other injuries that took several months for the fantastic team at (Cork) CSPCA to sort out.
He is a wonderful dog - his one main failing being he rarely stays still long enough to be photographed!!
He is the 3rd 'rescue' dog I have had and will not be the last - there are just way too many Fritz's out there - all unique - all deserving a second chance!

Beautifully captured Phil.
They say never work with animals, why I don't know, most of them have more facial expressions that some of the models I've worked with
