Image dedicated to Nancy Hovey!
Annie is fifteen weeks of age here. It was her first studio portrait shot sitting in a little chair posing as good as gold. I think this little puppy has style LOL. Graham was the cameraman and I handled. We got a series of different shots which I hope to edit during the week! Have a great day.

  Hi there Michelle. It is sung by Foster and Allen. I actually put it in the code I popped in but it didn't turn up.

I thought of Gentle Annie before Graham suggested this song, one of my favorites too! I told Nancy I was going to edit this for her, hope she likes it! Cheers ~Pat

  Hey Nicki LOL. Annie stayed in the chair as I was off camera feeding her and used content aware fill to get rid of my hand and knee (tee hee). Thanks for dropping in and your kind words! ~Pat

  Danny, thankyou. Annie is beautiful and the chair and background go so nicely with her colouring!

I found the little chair in a second hand store but I had to wait till she grew into it, Annie looks big but she is small, only weighing 3 kilos.

Thankyou again!

~Pat

  This is SO precious, Big Sis! When I read the title I thought how perfect is it. It not only fits this image perfectly but through your love for Annie you are letting us know how you really feel about your sweetie. She is mature beyond her years. Such a sweet nature. A perfect dedication for our Nancyj (Mumj!) as she has such a gentle nature as well.

Beautiful in every way and already FAV'd!
