Dog Days of Summer

Is there anything happier than a Lab in water? I took our Labrador retriever for a walk this morning. I wasn't intending to take her for a swim, but when we passed the access road to the beach, she kept looking back at me and nodding her head toward the lake. I swear, she was smiling! It's very hard to resist a smiling dog, especially one that is so loyal and who gives such pleasure.

 

One Good Girl

Getting Allie to "smile for the camera" has always been a challenge, because she averts her big, brown eyes the second you snap the photo. But recently, M realized she can keep Allie's attention by holding a snack next to the camera. All she needed for this photo was a single Wheat Thin. Then M used Kodak's EasyShare software to turn the photo into a cartoon-like image. I love it!
