i heart faces: contemplative pets

or is it contemplating pets?

Actually it’s both… contemplative and pets.

(click to see full size)

Here’s my ‘contemplative’ entry. We were caonoeing this summer in the mountains and as we came out of this tunnel, I snapped this of Asher as he was soaking in all the beauty around him. I love this picture, but it’s probably just cuz I love this kid so stinkin’ much.

Here’s my girl: Velvet. Clearly a misnomer, she’s anything but velvety. When we got her as (the most adorable) 6 week old puppy, we thought she was a smooth coat Jack Russel. But as she grew, so did all that hair. But we adore her any way, even on her worst hair day.

She’s getting up in years, she just turned 12, so I was glad to get this shot of her looking so perky. She even threw in a tiny head cock to up the cuteness factor. Or is that the cheese factor?

    Awww, velvet is a cutie! We have a JRT too. She is 14 1/2 and a cancer survivor for 4 years. Despite some vision loss and significant hearing loss she is still a scamp! 🙂 They are big dogs stuck in little bodies!

    Great pics!! Our oldest pup is (we think) about 13 and has a terminal disease that we can't do anything about. We know we don't have a lot of time left with her but are making the most of every second of it showering her with love!!

    I love the Asher picture. It is very thought provoking. He looks so grown up.

    And Miss Velvet. What a cutie. As you know I lost my TigerLily (boxer) last November at 10.5 Keep taking the pictures of the pups they are only here a short period of time.

    I know have Cali…the crazed Boston Terrier and boxer wanna be…man is she cute but oh she is bad!
