I have four dogs. And, I think they just might be the best "people" I know. Great creatures.
We can learn a lot from our dogs. My dog is so incredibly patient that it just amazes me! Your sweet fur ball has a runny nose!
Amazing close up of Sasha, she's such an adorable dog. I think that in my next life I'm going to be a dog, yup that's what I'm going to do!
What a super shot Rick.
They are a friend for life too.
I love dogs! It's always a delightful companion!
Sasha is lovely! Beautiful!
Beijos, honey!
Sasha is just so gorgeous & it is so true..we could learn much from the life of a dog and they're devoted loyalty to us humans.
Beautiful photo of Sasha.
She is beautiful. If a dog has a good owner, what a wonderful life they have!
Oh my god, that's your dog? I love dogs. Really. I didn't know what was to have a dog until, 2 years ago, Stalin came home. They are great creatures, and as you say, we could learn so much about them...
Alex.

What a face! She looks a bit like a polar bear in this photo...
The photos lighting and white balance are perfect for the mood that make this such a great picture. Simple photo,great picture.
I can tell from all your warm comments that there are many dog lovers among you ! Yes, she is a loyal companion and I empathize with those of you who have lost a companion like that.
We've actually had a little 3-year old girl comment that she looks just like a polar bear ;-)
Thank you all for your visit and I hope the coming week goes well for you !
Now this looks like a dog with little stress. Isn't worried about the economy or bills to pay, no relationship problems, doesn't care about the ozone, just having a nice nap. Wouldn't that be nice at times!!!
Absolutely, I agree 100% - I just wish everyone treated their dogs/animals that good!!! =)
btw... she's gorgeous in all that white fur
@WhatKarenSees - yes, a dog's life doesn't look so bad !
@Tricia - yes, I can't understand anyone who could abuse such a loyal friend; thank you !
Sasha? Lovely...A wonderful dog & a great shot! she 's your dog? I've a Border Collie, Nanà, a sweet "terrible" dog....
Ps: My 'Followers' button is in my blog.....you can find it...;(((....kiss, Cy
Wow, she is absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic shots of her!
I agree whole-heartedly with the points you made about dogs (:
They show more compassion, love, loyalty and respect then a lot of people that I know!
Thanks, Saz. My wife says Sasha's spoiled - not sure where she gets that idea from ! And I agree with you re: dogs vs people !
