Awww, that little puppy is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAt last you get a good shot with the puppy looking up into your camera. The same thing happened whenever I tried to take snapshots of my friend's doggie.
ReplyDeleteAwe...nothing cuter than a puppy.
ReplyDeleteOur oldest granddaughter and her husband just welcomed a chocolate Lab puppy into their home. One of the best breed of dogs there is. You just have to like big dogs and lots of shedding. But they are very smart and oh so lovable. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute puppy. Mimi, I love dogs especially puppies. My daughter just picked up a new dog and we all love the dog except one of her two cats. They will have to get rid of one of her cats since they don't get along. The other cat gets along with the dog. See ya my friend.
