a wonderful capture! #8130716Christine Lobsinger November 14, 2009
Hello Ann, Karen, Tess and Howard...Thanks so much for popping in and your kind comments.Howard, it is funny you should mention 'Puttin On The Ritz'.. I wrote a story, called it the same title, submitted it to Our Canada Mag. a few years back.. they held it for one year, kept the 12 images, then unfortunately, could not use it at that time.. I should really try again!
THanks so much Ellen for making Ritz a Fav.. I appreciate you!
Hi Hal and Lorna.. thank YOU.
Lorna, we are back into routine now that school started (even though it took me all of Sept. LOL!!)
Hi Sam and Tiia.. THankS so Much!
Sam, usually choc. labs are abit more WILD.. ha! Ritz will be 5 in Dec. and she just calmed down - she enjoyed chasing squirrels while her blind lady would be hanging on to the lead...
Have a Wonderful Day Everyone!!

Wonderful perspective - beautiful subject too : ) #8138685Marty Straub November 17, 2009
Our chocolate is named Chip. We also have Jaco (black), Phoebe (yellow), and Cheech (black lab-pit mix). Them and the 3 cats and 3 fish all make great subjects. You've made a beautifully composed portrait here, Christine. Many different captions could be applied to that look. #8138859Christine Lobsinger November 17, 2009
Hi Jennifer.. thanks so much for your wonderful comments. Ritz was our second 'foster puppy' we raised.. we miss her so much, but we know she is having a good life- she enjoys 'WORKING' and being by her companion's side all day long!SMILING CHRIS
