My Girl

Description

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day....when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May!

When considering what I am grateful for, I sure don't have to look far! I am so happy and grateful to be able to share this photopainting of my best friend, little sentinel, soulmate, resident clown....my girl, Rigby.

Thanks, Leanne, Dan and Michelle....Michelle, Rigby would be brokenhearted to hear your feline buddy would not like her! Unlike most of her breed, she is gentle and loving with cats and if they accept her, gets along with her in a very amusing and endearing way...very unusual for Jacks!

Candice, I know you received an award for this one. But I just had to say this seems to be a real labour of love and it is the most beautiful portrait. The effects are just perfect. I think if only my Frenchie would sit still long enough and I had your skills I could do something similar, ah, but it's only a dream. #1700017

Candice C. Calhoun level-deluxe August 10, 2005

Dreams do come true, it can happen to you....I have taken literally hundreds of pictures of Rigby to get just a few good ones. You WILL get that perfect shot! Thanks so much, this is still among my favorite photos ever...I sure love my girl!
