  John this is really cool! Here just yesterday ,since a hubby and 2 kids are enough pets for me,lol,,I was thinking if the humane society would let me go there and take some pics of their pets! Just didn't get to it yet though.I was busy again with 6 babies instead. Your pic is just awesome!

  The Swiss would have a fit if you took a picture in the store! This little guy just wants to play. It's a great shot John.

  Another great story-teller, John. More playful than your dog's paw masterpiece. I'd think the shelters would want to consider using your images in their newsletters/publications.
(And I'm impressed you're able to resist the charms of these animals, and don't have a ranch of 30 pets at home!)

  Thanks Joy, Chris, and Dolly!

And for what it's worth, we already have two cats and three dogs at home, so it's easy enough to hold off, LOL!

  Locked cage, one paw holding on, one paw reaching out, ears/whiskers outside the bars, sharp eyes staring straight at me.
Well composed and great dof.. :-)
