WDB #23: So close, and yet so far away

weather warm; pond still frozen

On the plus side, Platelicker clearly understands that stepping onto a frozen pond to retrieve a ball is a Very Bad Thing.

    Poor guy. He sure can get the frustration into his expression.

    Is that a daffodil coming up next to him?

    He’s beautiful. When I first loaded the page I thought it was a photo of a bear. :)

    What a gorgeous dog! And he even seems to match his blue ball in this lighting.

    The puppy thanks you all. :-)

    Yes, that is a daffodil, and it’s now in full bloom, though it doesn’t quite feel like spring here just yet. I still need to stock up on new tennis balls, though. I retrieved that one just after I snapped the picture, and then the pup proceeded to lose it somewhere in the brambles. Silly girl.

    Best photo ever. He is so gorgeous!

    Er, or is it “she”?

    Thanks, Jamie! And yup. She. Though pretty much everyone mistakes her for a boy dog — even our friends who know her well. I’d say it’s her grand, wolf-like countenance that does it, but more likely it’s the fact that she’s too much of a klutz to be thought of as a graceful girl puppy!
