Lynnette and Her American Eskimo Dog, 'Kayak'
I've owned my fair share of cats too (this is "Ripley"), but I've always been much more of a dog lover.
"Kayak" was my first purebred dog... an Eskie purchased from a reputable breeder in Texas. Prior to this, I'd only owned "mutts" that I found -- or that found me.
[For the record, about 2 inches of "big hair" were cropped from this photo.]
What a captivating picture! (And your hair, of course, looks great!)
