Me either. She’s still my favorite model, although once again I was looking the wrong way when the best photo opportunity of the day presented itself. I had her on a 20-foot lead, which allows her to do whatever she wants as long as she’s within 20 feet of me — it’s part of herContinue reading “Can’t get enough of my dog?”
