Terry the Terrible Terrier

She may look cute now, but she'll bite your hand off. No joke. She doesn't like strangers, kids, or dogs bigger than her. But once she gets to know you, she's a big bundle of love.

It was 33 degrees (-5 with the windchill at the top of that hill) when I took this picture. Nearly got frostbite operating the camera without gloves. She could barely sit still, wondering why i'm dwadling, and as warm as a bug in a rug. (She also likes my lens for some reason; I have to fend her off.)

Well, she looks cute! My mom owns a terrier too and I can entirely sympathize. :-D

Great shot !! A very good balance between the white (dog) and the black (road) and the wide angle is a good choice !! And above all, the dog expression !! Voted

Two shots. The first, she went for my lens (she likes it) and she was out of focus. The second I was repeating "staaaaaay...." She's a hard dog to keep in focus. Alliteration or not, and nice or not, that's her nickname :)

This is true. When I first met this dog, she'd growl pretty bad if I got anywhere near her, or worse... nowadays she can't wait for me to pet her!
