Thanks much ladies. Bowie lives next door to us along with another Dalmation buddy Rudy. I was in charge of walking both dogs down the isle a couple of years ago when their owners got married- needless to say they are like the children in the houshold :-) Yes, these dogs have a lot of energy and need long walks each day to burn some of it off CJ . Funny how the lens tends to flatten things out; I shot this standing on a steep hilltop with him having to run up to me.
