You're Barking Up The Wrong Tree

The world would be a nicer place
if everyone had the ability
to love as unconditionally
as a dog.

Happy National Dog Day!
(no doggie was harmed in this photo shoot)

Little Sophie Belle always looked longingly at Katniss' ability to climb a fence or tree. Do they make branches any wider, she is thinking. Her ears remind me of The Flying Nun. After experiencing it for herself, Sophie has changed her mind and would rather stay grounded. :)

Nice on black.

LOL - Sophie is holding on for dear life. Nice on "the ground" says she...

[Carole Sandford]

Haha! Not sure if she's enjoying that or not!

What a little beauty! Finlay would love to be able to climb trees so he could chase the cats who dare to come into our garden! Fav!

Many thanks for you comments and favs for my 5 lb. Sophie on National Dog Day! She survived the experience just fine but isn't interested in climbing trees in the future. She will leave that to Katniss. I am so happy the two of them get along and play together so well. Katniss keeps Sophie young and on her tippy toes!

Aaah, now I found Sophie-Belle :) Sorry, my mistake - I thought Sophie is also a cat ... but still she climbs like a cat :D
This is a very cute capture. Fav
