Most dogs love to be brushed.  It’s a time when you and your pooch can spend some quality time together.  Not only is brushing an essential part of keeping your dog’s coat healthy and clean, it also is very soothing and relaxing for the dog.  This Glen of Imaal Terrier is just waiting for someone to pick up that brush and spend some time with him.  Our pets love us unconditionally and just want to be with us.  Make time every day to play with and groom your pet! 

Those are some mighty big paws, don’t you think?

There are breeds that I seem to gravitate toward when I’m at a dog show and I photograph them frequently.  Not so with the Sussex Spaniel.  Oh it’s not because I’m not a fan of the breed.  Quite the opposite….they are one of my absolute favorites.  I just don’t see all that many of them at shows.  When I do, however, I make a point of getting to their ring at the appropriate time to watch them and snap a few photos.  I believe there was only one Sussex at the Devon Kennel Club show and I managed this image that I feel conveys the complete trust that this dog has in his/her handler.  What a sweet expression!
