That Puppy Face

A new journey begins....
Meet "Sunny".
The story is pretty amazing when it comes to my new best friend. I went ahead and photographed this just a few minutes ago. Some of you may know that this past June 24th I have to put my best friend Klaus to sleep. [link] I was graced by my German Shepherds presence for nearly 13 years. It was the right decision however one of the hardest things I have ever done. I still tear up because I miss him so much...boy do I ever. Sometimes though things happen for a reason . Very good reasons.

I was photographing the sunflower fields with my buddy Cheryl almost exactly a month to the date when I had put Klaus down. Suddenly she heard a noise and turned around and here laying in the field behind her was this little doggy. Dirty, starving, very friendly and a tad shy. There was no way I was leaving him there and we wouldn't. Cheryl decided to take him home with her and now as of Sunday evening he is mine. It is sort of ironic that I was even at the sunflower fields that evening as I wouldn't have been if we didn't have to go back and get our car that evening from having a major blow out while shooting the sunflower fields the previous night. I have come to nickname him "Awesome Dog" because he really is. I don't think I have ever met a sweeter dog in my life and affectionate? Yeah, that is putting it mildly. I think someone up above is looking out for me with a keen eye from The Rainbow Bridge.
