Dad: I had a spare couple of hours this morning and decided to dig out the studio lighting set we bought some time ago but haven't used as yet.
I rather like this one of Pooch: he looks quite obedient in this shot. ;-)
Here's the link to a gallery of other shots from this morning's session, check it out if you have time: http://www.pbase.com/poochdad/studio :-)

Thanks for your continuing kind wishes for my father's health... operation to remove his cancer is in 2 weeks' time.
