I am thankful for my furry friends too. Who have taught me how to deal with winter. Petie wasn't coming out of his blanket cave to pose for this photo. But you can see the motion blur of his ear flicking when he heard the shutter. That means "treat." :)

Petie is such a charmer! Lovely portrait with a very striking background. He doesn't have much fur, so I can't blame him for hibernating in the blanket cave. V.
Char24-Nov-2012 21:33
Poor Petie the winters must be twice cold for the little fellow. He looks so contented in his wonderful warm cocoon. An excellent black and white shot, Karen! \/
