Tater

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted December 12, 2013562 views15 comments

My wife and I decided we would be pet less for awhile after Oliver's passing. It lasted all of 21 days when Tater entered our lives and took our minds off of our aching hearts and filled the void here at the Brown Dog Ranch. Besides, no one should go through life with just one pet in my opinion.
He is a bundle of energy and has a bit of a devilish side. Could just be the teething, but check out those eyes. This was his second encounter with snow and took to it with gusto.

You definitely have a friend of the snow there Neil! The 'devilish' side, which is pure character, really comes through in those eyes

That is one excited dog! And with lots of energy! Love the expression on her face. Glad you found Tater to help with the loss of Oliver. Great shot, Neil.

Oh, a crazy puppy in the snow! Love it. Tater looks like quite the ham. Great name, too. A new dog can definitely help heal. Poodles are such smart dogs... a pleasure to train. And it's a good thing you didn't go with an Apricot, Black or White one, given your ranch's name.
