Le Grande Damme

(First off, my apologies to my French reading audience for the (more than likely) wrong spelling of my subject heading - do correct me if it is wrong!)

Yesterday, I had an impromptu modeling shoot with the oldest "woman" in my life now, our beloved dog "Cutie".

It's been a month now since she's moved in, and it's been great having her in the house. Because of her age (15 Dog years, 105 human years if you go by the 1 year = 7 human years theory), she tends to be "clingy" (is that really a word?), constantly following us around the apartment, and attaching herself to our legs as we stand cooking or doing the dishes. Not that we're complaining, but she literally is acting like a cat (mostly sleeping, and then craving for attention that we constantly give her). It's nice to have another "heartbeat" in the house, especially when either Helen or I are alone. Although Cutie doesn't bark, let alone hear (she's pretty much deaf), it's nice to know that she's there to keep us company. (I really should buy one of those fake dog barking machines to ward off intruders, making them think that Cutie is this humongous dog).

So here's to our "Grande Damme" Cutie! She sure does photograph well, don't you think?

You've got to love that sweet old face :) A little snooty, but hey, she's 105!
Plus check out her rockin' bandana - how cool is that?!

It's tough being a model.

For those of you who have pets, go out and give them a hug, or a treat, or better yet, take them outside for a walk, anything! Let them know how much you appreciate their sweet little hearts that so unconditionally loves us so much :)

Have a great Good Friday everyone :)
