I had to share this photo of my dog. Maybe it will brighten someone's day.

My wife took the picture with her iPhone today at a park in San Pedro, California. She sent it to me, and I thought it was beautiful.
I guess it's the green openness behind my smiling pup that makes it.

7. Here's the most recent photo of my dog:

He really hates having his picture taken...

[BrotherIvan]

9. That is a crack up

Grumpy animals are hilarious.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I don't know why, since I don't use a flash, but he avoids letting me take his picture

[BrotherIvan]

13. You should make a photo album of his grumpy poses

It would be

[Rhiannon12866]

14. It wouldn't be hard, LOL, since that would be most of them

But he's just fine if I take his pic outside, so I try to do that...

17. so darling!

we had a pup who was afraid of the noise the camera made. poor baby. we still had to take her picture. often. & probably too often to suit her.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Thanks! He's doing his best to hide on me, maybe he thinks I can't see him... LOL!

And that may be it, maybe he can hear the camera and I can't. He's fine outside, but outside there are other noises and distractions.

15. I grew up in the area and

miss it everyday. Love the photo of an obviously content pup. The South Bay agrees with him!

[dballance]

16. That totally happy look on your dog's face did, indeed, brighten my day!

I have my Nikko terrier who is pushing 18 now. The smaller dogs do tend to live longer than the larger dogs.

I am a very lucky human because my Nikko is in really good health for his age. About a few years or so ago I bought him a set of steps that allow him to get on and off the bed easily. I wanted to make sure he didn't tear any ligaments or injure himself.

Nikko is the best love I've ever had!

Thanks for posting the pic of your love!

29. We had a small dog that lived to 18ish...

and just before her our larger dog passed away, he was about 17. Hard to say because they were both rescues. But he was very healthy to the end.

18. beautiful picture, beautiful day, beautiful friend. n/t

[surrealAmerican]

22. I love the photo. It reminds me of a canine, urban version of ...

... Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth.

[Kingofalldems]

24. Very nice.

The grass is so green, have you had rain?

[C Moon]

28. No rain. (well, we had some July showers)...

I thought the same thing: where are they getting the water for that?
It's a soccer field, so I guess it has some precedence.
