Thanks SO much for your visits and kind words, Michelle, Sherry & Christine. This is my niece, Rachel, and her dog, Nala. I took this last night at a going away to the Marines party at their house. I've been trying to capture an image of Nala for quite some time, now, but it never seemed to work out until now. Rachel is THRILLED with it.um...14.5 days, Sherry! I can't wait to see you guys again! #7259481

Thanks so very much, Sheryl!Melinda F. Schneider March 10, 2009
I wish I had taken this! Sooooo Sweet!!! #7266391Nikki McDonald March 10, 2009
This is a lovely moment well captured. The lighting is just right, Vicki, and I can see why your niece is pleased with the result. #7266416Vicki L. Filippin March 10, 2009
Thanks SO much, Melinda! Nala broke the same leg 3 times since Rachel got her, so it has been extremely difficult to get a natural looking shot of her. Her cast has been off for about 2 months now and is rough-housing with the 2 pit-bulls, so I think she's gonna be fine now. When this pic came up at upload, I was like...WOW..this is SUCH a typical and beautiful shot of these two! #7266418Vicki L. Filippin March 10, 2009
Thanks, again, Nikki! We must have been posting at the same time! #7266423Les Rhoades March 10, 2009
