Hi, Jim  I meant to comment on your image when you first posted it a couple of weeks ago but got sidelined with other things to do.  Of course you already know that this is a perfectly adorable photo, one that absolutely can melt the most jaded heart.  The first thing that popped into my mind when I first saw your photo was the phrase "the eyes are the window to the soul".  If that saying is in fact true, you are truly blessed to have such a companion.
