Jewels Ready to Pounce on the Throw

Jewels Ready to Pounce on the Throw

Jewels became part of my family when she was very young - the neighbors had the mother and about 8 puppies.

Jewels mother somehow got out of the kennel and was hit by a car. The neighbors could not deal with bottle feeding all of the puppies so I took in 4 of them and bottle fed them.

We all bonded just like having my children and I kept 3 of the puppies (I would have loved to keep them all but town laws only allow me 3 dogs so I gave one of the puppies to my mother.

Jewels is now 5 years old and her personality is that of a tease. Jewels is a fetching fool, has been since she was about 4 weeks old.

She has her toys and she is relentless when she wants to play. We were playing fetch in our back yard and she was getting prepared for the toss with a big grin on her face and her feet planted ready for take off, she has to beat the other dogs to the toy.

She is a very happy dog and it shows in her expressions.

Thanks for replying Linda. That's interesting - I'll have to see whether mine has the same effect on it and try it out if it does.

Great effect
by: Claire

A really nice picture. I love the light centre, highlighting Jewels and the darker surround. Was she taken in the spotlight of a torch to get this effect? It's worked well.

Thanks Hilary, I must say while raising the 4 puppies I felt so good, my vet tells me pets are good for the soul and I truly believe it. Mine all take good care of me.

great to hear :) - Hilary
