Laughing Girl CharleyPhoto by Red Dog Photography
For the first nine or ten years of her life, I called Charley my "Eeyore Dog" because she most often plodded along with her head down, tail down, a sad "woe is me" expression on her face - so very reminiscent of my favourite A. A. Milne character, Eeyore, the donkey befriended by Winnie-the-Pooh.
The past couple of years, since moving to the farm, she has blossomed. In the past five months, since Sadie joined us, the change has been remarkable. Nearly every photo shows a happy, laughing girl with her ears up, head up, eyes bright. This is especially evident in the wonderful photos taken recently by Red Dog Photography. She is Eeyore Dog no more.
Here, then, are the many faces of Charley, my sweet Laughing Girl:

Janice, some days I would gladly drop off all three of my pig-herding dogs!
But today, when they are freshly groomed and smiling, nope, can't have her.
There's a lovely older border collie(maybe a cross) named Roper at the animal shelter here........ hint, hint, hint.
Charley is beautiful, and obviously very happy with her life!

Jean, I found your blog through google alert (I have it set to dog photography) and now I'm HOOKED line and sinker! And then I read that your sweet Caleb lost his life to lymphosarcoma. My Chester is almost 10 weeks past his diagnoses. He was given 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately, we lost our Cooper 3 years ago to the same horrible disease. Heartbreaking. I have marked your blog into my favorites...as a fellow animal lover and rescue/shelter proponent you have a friend her in Maryland, USA!
Welcome to the blog, Robyn, and I am so sorry to hear about your dog's diagnosis. Positive vibes heading your way for Chester. He is a beautiful dog - I love boxers!
