Strider

Grover is sound asleep as I type this, snoring very loudly. And, of course, he cannot read. So I'm trying not to feel TOO guilty for posting that this amazing yellow tub of fur I met last week has me completely smitten. =D

Amanda Herzberger's Strider is quite possibly the most beautiful dog I've ever seen.  He is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the INSIDE as well. =)

He is the most well behaved dog I've ever met in my life. And he's just a LOVE. It was very hard not to dognap him...

So forgive the barrage of shots - he was just too much. I could not resist.











Will you LOOK at those gorgeous, soulful brown eyes? (He was munching on blueberries, and I interrupted!)






And of course, a little wooby-ing.






The End. =)

  1. You SURE know how to make a Mom proud :) Love the blueberry one and the paw on the dock - of all the bajillions of photos I've taken of Strider I've never taken one of that detail. THANK YOU! xo

  2. So cute! Love the paw print. (You just made my friend at work cry!)

    It's true--I have told my husband all about Strider and what a good boy he is, no doubt due to the love and attention of his parents. He said yesterday (after seeing a photo of the handsome pooch) "I want to get a puppy!" I said, "Sure, we'll just have Amanda raise him for the first year or two and then give him back to us."

    Seriously!

  4. # 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 -- all very captivating, IMO. You captured his eyes beautifully in a couple of these. Even with a well behaved dog, it must have taken a lot of patience. Great work!
