These have been around the block a time or two, but when I jumped into Kim Shaw Ball's "this reminds me of" http://365project.org/discuss/general/21971/this-reminds-me-of , with my "Oliver" photo of the squirrel, it brought to mind my others of "Fred", the cat and "Bodhi, my grand son...ALL with their pleading eyes! I don't think I got many photos today (haven't checked my camera), but I played with this, so here we go again...
