Hi Moose,
That first one is a nice shot. He resembles our long-haired black that was
with us for 18 years. I looked closely at the eyes, because ours suffered
from macular degeneration. I have several photos of the problem developing
over the years, until he was almost completely blind. Your photo is close
to how I recall our "Poo" in the early years. Thanks for the memories.
