Poor Ben

Poor Ben hasn't been well for a few days so i'm taking him to the vets tomorrow. This picture just shows how sorry he's feeling for himself. He's my pride and joy, the only 'family' I have left in the world, so I worry so much about him. Hope he's alright and it's nothing serious. Say a little prayer and keep your fingers crossed all is ok

Mans' Best Friend

I haven't had much time to concentrate on my photo for today due to helping friends pack ready for their move to a new house on Friday. Here's another snapshot of Ben, my dog, who is also my best friend and companion (look at those sad eyes, he just hates my camera coming out LOL).

A Man's Best Friend (Author Unknown)

.

A faithful dog will play with you
And laugh with you and cry...
He'll gladly starve to stay with you
Nor ever reason why...

.

And when you're feeling out of sorts
Somehow he'll understand
He'll watch you with his shining eyes
And try to lick your hand.

His blind implicit faith in you
Is matched by your great love
The kind that all of us should have
In the Master up above.

When everything is said and done,
I guess this isn't odd,
For when you spell dog backwards,
You will get the name of God.

Sunset

Above is another sunset photo I took at the weekend It's three photographs stitched together in Photoshop. I'm quite pleased with the results.

Below is a photograph of my dog Ben. He's very camera shy and will not sit still for me, so this was a very slyly taken photo (at least i thought it was) with the camera on the ground. Notice he has this look on his face as if to say 'oh no she's got the camera out again trying to get a picture of me'. LOL
