It's been three years....

 .....since I looked at this face that was in a cage at the local animal shelter.  I was "smitten" at the first look, the way she put her head on one side like she was hearing every word I said,  the way she sat at my feet & leaned into to me.  I knew she was special. 

There is a saying in my sidebar.....Dogs are not our whole life but they make our lives whole.

This dog makes our lives whole!

 I was trying to get a shot to compare with that first day.

 She was having no part of it....wouldn't even look at me!

 "I'm outa here"

 Still not looking

This is as close as I got!
