I love it! She’s named ‘Ellie the Pony!’ I must admit, though, that ‘pony’ wasn’t the first thing I thought when I saw her, not with those ears. (Psst: don’t tell her, but I thought ‘donkey!’)
(Incidentally, I notice it’s been a while since I’ve mentioned my photography contest. I have four intrepid contestants so far… I need more!)
I like this picture, not only because of the doggie grin, but also because it finally answers that age-old question, 'how many joggers can dance on the head of a dog?'
Yes, those are some pretty ridiculous ears.
I am a total sucker for canine grins.
Ellie reminds me of my shepard/ridgeback I had to put down on Sept. 23rd of last year.
They could be twins except for Ellie’s small feet and Bear had her ears cut half off by
kids who wanted to make her a fighting dog. My wife and I rescued her and had 15 1/2
years with the sweetest, smartest, strongest dog a man could own. God I miss her.
I look at Ellie’s picture a lot and it helps. GOD I MISS HER
