 this is Georgia who has loved Toddy since i got him as an 8 week old puppy .. Chiara was 5 at the time .. she's 12 now .. she would pick him up and play with him and loved to hold the lead when we went for a walk ..

when i'm out with him and he sees babies and young children he wants to go up and say hello .. i think part of the reason he loves little ppl is because of Chiara and her sisters and my grandkids .. they all love him to bits .. and the feeling is mutual ..


after rollover ..
i had a look at the competition after this went in for voting and felt there were some amazing pics that would do heaps better than this ..
so imagine my surprise when the voting started ..
i'm so very grateful that ppl liked this photo .. and also thankyou for the comments during voting ..
so appreciated .. xxxx ..

This is beautiful. I was one of your 8s during voting.

THERE IS NO WAY that Toddy is seven years old already!! Jeepers time is flying.

Hug when you can. :D

nice picture, shallow DOF is good, a bit to centred for my taste but still a great pet picture
