Maisy at Rest

[Chip]

This was taken at the end of a play session at a local park.

When Maisy plays fetch in our backyard, she will only play with a tennis ball. But, when we're anywhere else, she will only play with a plastic bottle (such as a Gatorade bottle, a water bottle, etc). Isn't it funny how dogs - like people - develop habits and preferences that can be just plain weird? I love that dog, and all her peculiarities.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Chip, it shows

When we feel any bond towards a place, a person, an animal, we can't help but give a little of ourselves when we capture its/ their image. This is a beautiful picture of Maisy, excellent job

Beautiful dog. It is funny about their peculiarities. We have an English Bulldog and he is very structured! He knows when our normal bedtime is, and when we deviate, he lets us know!

Great job chip! You have a beautiful dog. Love the lighting and catch lights in the eyes.

The affection the two of you share shows in this photo. In some ways, this is a picure that tells us as much about you as it does about Maisy and what we learn, among other things, is that if we're going to know anything about you, it must include your love for your beautiful Maisy. Her good nature and intelligence just shines.

Beautiful GSD. You can see the connection you have with her. They do have their routines don't they? My guys love water bottles as well. Why do we even buy toys for them?

Mike - LOL. Good to know others are set in their ways, too.

Thanks very much, Prime Time, for the positive and specific comments. (And, I have tried B&W toning, but none of my efforts so far are suitable for public viewing. I'll get there, though.)

Lindy - Your way with the English language and your insights will always impress me. Thank you.

Thanks, sheltiesmama. Great poing about unused toys. We have a stack of them that sit in a basket, gathering dust.
