Pumpkin’s Birthday Portrait

My sweet girl will be eleven on Halloween, and I love her madly. Isn’t she a beauty.

Pumpkin’s Spring Portrait

Now 10 1/2 years old and in good health, Pumpkin continues to enjoy her off leash walks. She is loved fully, and returns that joy a hundred times over. What a gift she is.

There are people who love their dogs as much as I love Pumpkin, but none who love them more. Pure and unconditional, sweet beyond measure, and so pretty is Pumpkin.

Putty nosed Pumpkin has always known my camera, and combined with her desire to please, she is not hard to photograph. Here she has just finished napping.

Now nine years old, Pumpkin continues to bring me joy beyond measure. How I will one day manage to live without her brings me to my knees. For now I love her with all my heart.

A look into Pumpkin’s pretty eyes reveals unconditional love, a playful and joyous spirit, and an energy that is calming and healing. I love putty nosed Pumpkin immeasurably.

My sweet Golden, Pumpkin, waits for me on a recent hike. Neither of us are young anymore, but when let off leash she becomes much younger than I am. I adore her.

Sweet Pumpkin takes a moment to rest from a vigorous romp. She will be nine on Halloween but remains in very good health and is one of the greatest joys of my lifetime.

Pumpkin Groomed

When Putty Nosed Pumpkin gets groomed, she knows she is even prettier than usual and she is like an 86 lb stuffed animal, soft and cuddly. She gives me all the snuggles I want, and comes back for more. I love her profoundly. Note the grass turning green which is payback for surviving another winter. Life is good…my wife, son, and Pumpkin love me.

Looking like a lion who is busy meditating, sweet Pumpkin allows silly daddy to take yet another picture. As I write this she is standing next to me looking for a touch and giving me many kisses. I do touch her, lovingly and frequently. I adore my big beautiful Pumpkin.
