My darling gal, Peachie, enjoying a snooze on last-year’s Christmas present, my leather recliner (the best seat in the house!). Pic taken with the Nikon D40x with the 55-200mm VR Nikon lens. One of the rare occasions I used the flash, successfully, with the dogs.

Lucy is an expert sock killer. Lindi is MUCH better at sleeping, in fact she’s the reigning Olympic Champion. Given the chance to develop them, dogs have wonderfully diverse personalities. Super little people.

Lois Bryan replied
Oh, how hilarious!!! If I see an old sock or a towel laying around, I know Peach got into the dirty laundry again and was having a bit of a roll … the little goof!!!! Yes, they do have the most amazing little personalities!!!!
LYN EVANS

Lynda McDonald

Lois Bryan replied
Oh, you’re right!!!!! I should have done that!!!!! I’ve got to tell you … whenever Peachie does this, we all say “FLAT DOG” ... because, seen from above, she looks almost completely flat!!! LOL!!!!

Gorgeous! Our dog is called Pixie but Peaches was on the list too. I love your dog & wonderful photo of her.
Lois Bryan replied
Hi Karen!!! The first time I saw her she was wearing a peach colored bow in her hair … and so she became Peaches and Cream!!! LOL!!! Pixie is a great name too, I like that one!!! The other choice for Peach would have been Buttons, lol!!!

Hi Sylvia!!! Thank you, sweetie!!!!
Joanne Bradley
This is just too cute for words! Great capture and fantastic use of flash. Well done!
Lois Bryan replied
LOL!!! Joanne, thank you sooo much!!! Yes, as to the flash, I rarely use it. I’ve got my eye on something else that I’ll go ahead and cough up the $$ for … but in the meantime, I’m all about natural light if there’s enough. That I used the on board flash in this one, and that I was okay with it, is VERY rare for me!!
Trevor Needham
Wonderful shot Lois – up to your usual standard!
Lois Bryan replied
Thank you, darling boy!!!!!
abfabphoto
awwwww, super cute!!
Lois Bryan replied

terezadelpilar
sweeeeeeeeeeet!!
Lois Bryan replied
LOL!!!! Tereza … thank you!!!!! Great comment .. you’ve got me smiling ear to ear!!!
Marjorie Wallace
Congratulations on the feature. Where had I been??? This is just too cute. She looks all done up and it must have been a tiring day for her at the groomers. I am like you, I prefer natural light when I can get it, but there are times when we just have to take the chance. You won out this time. A wonderful and touching image.
Lois Bryan replied
Thank you, hon, sooo much!!! Poor Peach hasn’t seen a groomer in a long time … I do her myself. She’s such an angel and is so patient with me, that it’s not hard!! I hear ya on the lighting .. it’s so important to a shot, isn’t it?? But there’s a lot more to it than just the onboard flash .. and I hope some day to have the opportunity to get more involved. I took a photography class last year … we had a whole studio .. woo hoooo!!!! Such fun toys, lol!!!!
