pitman: you're right of course. I love my dog, Bailey, dearly and he makes a great companion for the woods. Hikes, swims, a great family pet. We also rescued him from being put down at the shelter. He was very nervous when we first got him (abusive home and then was a stray through the winter) and no one wanted him. However, with a lot of love and patience, he's made an amazing recovery and is quite friendly now.
He's looking very attentive at the moment because I'm holding the camera AND his tennis ball
