LOL, I have tons of toys that look like that now! It would have been funny if you could have made rudolph frown in the second picture.

I love Lucy's markings- I knew before reading your comment that she was an "Aussie"- I'm a "dog person" HAH!

That's actually the joke about Australian Shepherds, they were developed in America, where did they get the name from?! ;) Maybe from the Australian cattle dog (assuming they were from there too!). She was anxiously awaiting me to quit taking pictures of her so she could play with my moms dog Duke! She could only wait so long... ;)
I'm still new at all this and I just can't get a picture from inside my house without the flash, I'm sure I'll firgure it out, though I probably won't be able to get Lucy unless she's sleeping! It was 1/60 sec f 1/3.50, thaks for the link, it is helpful!!

Lucy looks like a lovely friend and a healthy one at that with her big wet brown nose.
