Abbey at 6 Months Old - (enlarge)

Our Bichon Abbey, was 6 Mos. Old when I tool this image in May of

2011. I had been taking images of flowers at one of our favorite

Garden Centres. She was sitting with Jim, enjoying the lovely Spring

Air. (This img. of course is a Dig. Alt.) After I worked on it today, I

printed it out to show Jim. I put the Image on the floor where Abbey

could see it. She is so funny. She watches TV, always barks at every

dog, and she responds to pictures I show her. She began to 'bait' the

Image, wanting it to play with her. I put her Ball in front of the Image

and she was not too sure how to take that. I told her that the Puppy

wanted to play Ball with her. She crept closer, at one point barked

loud enough that the force of the air expelled made the Image move

and it scared her. She got closer and tried to kiss the Image, and in

the end, finally stole the Ball from her 'new friend'. There is never a

dull moment when you have a Wonderful Friend to share your days

with like a Dog or Cat. They are always surprising you!!! (any visits

always appreciated, :) Gail)

Good image and a good story.  I like your post-processing.  Well done.

Dear Gail,

The presentation here is really nice...the slightly muted background colors compliment this fine animal beautifully! Very nice!

Thank you Bill, she is just over 3 years old now, and is such a 'hoot' at times. I loved her when her hair was like this. She had not had her first trim yet. Many thanks for those kind words of input,

:) Gail

Thanks for your visit, she is just a 'love pup' and loves to play. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Thank you for your thoughts shared Tim, I do appreciate the encouragement. She is a good dog and friend.

A photogenic pooch to be sure.  I like the scratchy transformation.

Beautiful and lovely shots, Gail!

Sooooo sweet!!

Hi Gail,

  Beautiful image's with wonderful processing.  She is such a cutie.  Take care, Patsy

Quite the cute one, of the many fuzzy faced breeds!! I like the way you processed the shot!

Lovely story about your "youngest daughter", Gail ... she is really beautiful !!

A big hug.

We should all have such good friends, the world would be a happier place!!! :)

The Bichon is the one at the dog shows that looks like a big Marshmallow the way they comb and groom the hair. We have been fortunate and had 2 with good personalities, but like all breeds you can get ones that are really 'cranky' (I wanted to use another word but thought I shouldn't!!!

I am happy you enjoyed this shot of Abbey, she is a character!!! many thanks for your time take to visit and share your thoughts, much appreciated!

"Too much" lovely!

Actually it was you who inspired me to add those little photos of how Abbey reacted to the image of her. I know you are an animal lover Jorge. Many thanks for your kind words.
