There's a look I go for that's more than just a picture of a dog. I try to show their personalities, too. When I look back on a picture of a dog, I want to recognize them not by their colors and proportion, but by how they're acting, and what they're saying.
Lapawz ("Paws" for short) is full of nervous energy. She's especially nervous around human guys, and it took her a while before she'd let me pet her.
Jake... well, he's a pug. Need I say more?
Skippy wants whatever that is you have there. Yeah, she'll take that.
I've been trying to capture the personality of Nalya the wolf-dog for a while, but I could never quite get it right. Yesterday morning, I finally managed to get one that seemed to properly show her intelligence and dignity.
Kayla's in her twilight years. She's always calm, content to just watch as everything passes by.
