"True Love"
There is probably no higher standard that I can try to live up to, than to strive to be the person my two dogs see thru their eyes. I must admit, it is a very nice view from atop my pedestal. To be gazed upon adoringly is quite the drug. My self-esteem grows by leaps and bounds equivalent to the levels of excitement expressed every time I return to the house and I am greeted by abundant displays of joy and happiness. I am loved unconditionally. It is a good thing. The feelings are mutual after all (okay, I MIGHT have a "few" conditions on my end of the equation).
This week's Project 52 prompt is "True Love". If only I could harness Dog #1 and Dog #2's unabiding love and devotion and attach it to the rest of my family. Well, it is probably a good thing I can't, otherwise my head would swell to proportions that would render me unable to exit thru my doorway. The good news? At least the rest of the family doesn't shed...very much.

Isn't that the truth - the kind of love that is genuinely unconditional. ; )
ReplyDeleteHere's to the furry animals in our lives, that teach us true love! Great photo!
Great picture of your "baby'. Yes, dogs are quite the "ego booster". What would we do without them. Love this shot! Was that done with your new lens?? Thinking of going out today and getting mine.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs look at me that way too, especially at meal time. Love the picture and your story.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is fantastic! You captured such devotion and thus created much emotion.
ReplyDeleteoh I remember that (we used to have a dog) she greeted me by the door every time!
ReplyDeleteSo well said- they certainly do think the world of us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of your baby! There is nothing quite like the unconditional love of dogs. :) I have 2 and they are my world. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have caught that eye with perfect clarity and I love the B&W, it really draws us straight to that gorgeous eye.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dog.
I would love to get such images of our own dogs but they don't seem to be very accommodating lol.

Right there with you! When I lost Hannah, my Golden with the most loving eyes, I was heart broken. Thought I would never do it again. It just hurt so much. But then I started craving that love. Enter DUDLEY!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
very nice, love the texture of the fur
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, I whole-heartedle agree that the love of one's dog is so good for the soul. Lifts even the gloomiest of spirits and remember dog is God spelled backwards.....
ReplyDeleteAhhhh.. What a cute photo. You just gotta love our furry friends..
ReplyDeleteHugs, Linda
I have a little frame with a saying...Dear God, may I be a good as my dog thinks I am" or something like that. This is a wonderful pet portrait-and yes, you've captured "true love".
