Description

My pup, Axxie. The friendliest, most playful, smartest, best dog I've ever owned. He's so active and so curious, that it's almost impossible to have him stay still for a photo. This is about as well as I can do. He asked me to pass on his regards to Kathleen and the community on their win last night.

Well done Bill. He's just waiting for the next suggestion (it doesn't look like he takes commands if he doesn't want to) The composition, coloring and DoF are all terrific. Great photo, Bill - Allan #105497

Thanks all.
Allan, you don't know how right you are about Axxie.
He listens like a cat.
Yes, Bonnie, he's a great companion and friend.
He has a wide range of expressions and mannerisms.
Thanks, Patricia. I see you've since found Kathleen's post.
Axxie just wanted to show his approval of the outcome ;-)
Good day!
