Atkinson, Ne Lifestyle and Art Photographer: Project 52 Week 9...Furry Friends

This week my challenge was to capture our not so mellow family pet, Belle.  Belle is a sweet Red Merle Australian Shepherd.  Though she is our family pet, she is really my dear husband's ranch hand.  A dog is an important companion for a rancher, and though she is spastic, Scott has trained her to listen well.  She gets lonely when she doesn't get to go with him, and you can just see the sparkle in her eyes when she sees him come home from work.  Her ears perk up, and I swear, she starts smiling.
