I caught a brief moment of repose here when he stopped his frolicking to rest his head on his new "mother's" leg.

Thank you Phyllis, Jeff and Mary. I love his expression, too -- so much so that this is the third time I've tried him (once was in black and white) :)
And here's one more comment that went to a stray thread:
Danny Head
Love the eyes...My St. Bernard, Molly, who went to heaven three weeks ago, would often look at me like that.

Thanks, Danny. Sorry about your loss of Molly -- I know it's very painful.
