I know this isn't a good photo but it's a Tribute to my Teena. I heavily edited the noise out and softened using the Smudge Brush tool in Photoshop. Taken at 6am on Christmas day 2002 she was seven weeks of age.
I walked into the family room to find my puppy asleep on her skateboard so grabbed my point and shoot. ~Pat

How precious! I really like the frame you created, Pat! #8233761

Thank you all, very very nice of you to say such kind words!

Thank you Patrick, I love this tribute to my little princess!

Thank you Audrey and Ray, hope you both with your furry friends ve a happy Christmas too! xx

Thank you Karen, great you like the frame, I had to do it as it it was a wall.

The story was Geraldine was taking a photo for a Christmas card whilst I handled Teena thus mine was a side shot. ~Pat #8236133

The sweetest of the sweet, Pat!
How fortunate you were to have raised Teena from that cuddlesome puppy age. We found out several months after we adopted our "kitten" Riley, that "she" was really a "he", and at least nine months old...we still love the lug after eight years, but I do wonder what he looked like at Teena's age...
Teena really is a cutie-patootie on "her" skateboard! And this version of "Away in a Manger" is so touching! #8236990

Graham Robards December 23, 2009

Thank you so much for your kind words Mary!

I actually stayed with the breeder for a month before we flew home, she was four weeks of age, so wonderful!

Oh dear to find out that your Riley was a 'he'! We got Cindy when she was five months of age so missed out on this stage too. ~Pat
