I’m not certain who had more fun, Joey or me, during our time together.

I was somebody new and merited much attention from this very well behaved and playful Sheltie dog. Prince Joey was apprehensive of me at first. Wanting everything in his world to be in order, I was not in my place, so Joey was trying to figure out how to make sense of me for a while. Some barking, and running around ensued. Eventually, we got used to each other, and the fun commenced.

Those who Joey consents to live with, his owners, had me over for a photo session. Ed & Mary Ellen put Joey through his paces, running, jumping, fetching and occasionally sitting still. This is one of those moments when Joey paused, as requested, and waited for the next event to begin.

His eyes were on me, watchful for my next move. He appeared at the ready always, a coiled up ball of energy waiting to be released. I felt him to be my friend, not an adversary. We had a delightful afternoon together.

Beautiful and regal, isn’t he?
