1. I'm in!

This was taken several years ago. I don't clearly remember just whose dog this was. Perhaps it was my daughter's.

Anyway, it's a sweet portrait.

3. What I love about this month's contest is

nobody gets a ton of votes with a so-so photo just because it has a cute animal in it.

4. The Photographer's Assistant

is my sweet Snowy. When we would go to the beach, she would walk with me every morning to shoot the sunrise/dawn. Leashes are required at this beach (Emerald Isle, NC) and she never pulled, no matter how many times I stopped for a shot or stayed in one place waiting for the waves to be just right, or the sun to come through the clouds, or for another early beach walker to get out of the shot, or whatever you know we're always waiting to be framed just so. She's been gone now since June 2020 and my morning beach walks haven't been the same.

6. Snowy's portrait is so beautiful! She's looking very thoughtfully at the scene, waiting patiently.

It's a superb shot, my dear mnhtnbb.

I'm sorry she's gone.

17. What breed was Snowy? She looks like one of

my, long departed, Samoyeds.

18. I was told by the rescue group

that she was part Golden Retriever and part American Eskimo. I never had her tested, but I used to call her my little white wolf. I once heard a little boy tell his mom as we passed them on the sidewalk "that lady has a wolf!".

19. Thanks. I also had 3 American Eskimos along with my Sammies.

People used to think my Eskie boys were my big Samoyed's pups!

5. So far so good!

We have 18 entries so far, Some wonderful pictures, all winners in my book!
So far we have 9 cats, 8 dogs, and 1 horse. Maybe we'll see some livestock entered later on. I have some pictures of a week old donkey I thought about entering but they weren't any special photos, just a cute baby donkey!
Maybe I'll just post it anyways...

8. Post anyway. All are the cutest to somebody.

9. My photo is my favorite photo. Not necessarily a composed photograph

I like that We will all be winners.

Everyone of us that have been graced with these animals.

We’re lucky they have us.

11. Photo re-size

I think the photo I posted is too large ,Can I delete the posted photo and try again ?Seems right when I check in preview.

[Tom Kitten]

12. If you think it's neccessary

I'm on my phone right now so can't find out how big your picture is but i had no problem loading it quickly.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

14. Wow, this is going to be tough.

I know we say that every month, but these photos are all tugging at our hearts.

This month's entry is bittersweet for me beause our little Chica is now in her end days. We don't expect her to be with us much longer.

Would someone please check the size for me? We're on vacation and I'm working on my phone. Thanks!

16. The size is fine (nt)
