Simon 1/52

Manymuddypaws put out a feeler for new folks to join the 52 Weeks of dogs project on Flickr...

I've loved all the photos she did last year -- in fact, before I even started my blog, I had been sticking up photos of my dogs over there, saw Pixel and was like, "Wow, that's the cutest Cardi ever!" (Hey now, I'm a sucker for a gorgeous merle, I am, shh.) If you haven't been to her blog or seen her photography - you need to! Beautiful stuff!

I love photography. I love dogs. Combine the two and I'm happy... as you no doubt can tell from my blog.

The dog who I picked officially to do the project this year was Simon. I plan on doing Caleb as well, but just for myself, haha. :)

I wanted my first photo to be something -- well, Simon. I mean, what are the things that make Simon "Simon?" For me, it's his smile, his goofy good-nature, his drive, and of course, his love for his ever faithful Wubba toy.



The thing that makes me always smile about the Wubba is this...



He totally wanted to be just like Gabe, I guess. ;) Aw.

thanks Shep. I too think Pixel is the cutest blue dog ever. :o) She is a bit miffed that she's not the focus of the project this year. :o)

52 Weeks is so fun, and I am pretty sure you are going to do awesome. People will love Simon's look and you can just see his happiness.
