Pumpkin Warming

Pretty Pumpkin enjoys some natural light as she rests in the kitchen. I know there are people who love their pets as much as I do her, but none love them more.

She just looks so gentle and adorable on this shot, Mike. The light definitely highlights her beautiful coat.

  Hi Kelly. I have no room to hang anything without taking something down. Pumpkin is well represented and her latest birthday portrait is a 16×20 on its own well lit wall. There are many smaller photos of her on bookcases and shelves. As I write she is running around with squeak toys. She just laid down 3 feet from me. We just returned from our mile walk 😉

    Holy Pumpkin Palooza! 16 x20 is fabulous. Sounds like she had a good time if she’s still doing zoomies with a squeak toy. I know your blog is all about photography. But video’s are just a whole lot of photo’s run together in a certain sequence, very quickly 😀

    10 years old and doing zoomies, as you call it. A bit ago we all sat in the family room with a good fire in the fireplace. I rubbed her face for a length of time and she let out the sweetest groan with each rub. I love her to pieces.
