The first shot of Andrew .... Very nice portrait. It's a KEEPER. Don't file that one away, it will make a great photo for marking his transitional years. Nice post.
I agree, that's a very good portrait of Andrew. You should have that framed and put up in a place of honor. I think you will always look back on that with a feeling of nostalgia and love.
I thought of this poem when I saw the picture of Andrew and his dog.
A boy and his dog make a glorious pair; No better friendship is found anywhere, For they talk and they walk and they run and they play, And they have their deep secrets for many a day; And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels, Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.
He may go where he will and his dog will be there, May revel in mud and his dog will not care; Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command And bark with delight at the touch of his hand; Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals, Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.
No other can lure him away from his side; He's proof against riches and station and pride; Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breath Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death; He sees the great soul which the body conceals-- Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels! ~ Edgar Guest ~
What an adorably resourceful little fella Mr. Zander is! Great back to school pics!
Have a most beautiful day!!!
