Description

Marcos' dogs--Odie's the little one and Ginny's the German Shepherd. This is a poignant foto; Ginny's nearly 4 years older now, completely deaf and can barely walk. It's so sad watching her as she struggles to just go about her usual things. She's almost 14, quite elderly for a big dog. Her body's weak, but her spirit is still so strong.

Gorgeous! I love their expressions; that's the thing about photography; you can immortalize happy moments and this is a good moment that'll remain even as situations change. I like this a lot.

A beautiful and sensitive image. I remember seeing a news story about an Army veteran who had an elderly shepherd racked with arthritis. To ease the dog's pain he took her swimming with him. She was able to paddle around without pain because the water gave her buoyancy. Something for Ginny perhaps.

I zoomed and Ginny looks great for her age. Odie will keep her young!

yes gorgeous, a beautiful duo shot, and it captures the different character of both dogs, and how easefully dogs navigate in water. The contrast of Ginny's darker coloring, against Odie's shimmering blues and whites, is striking. As is the nearly glass-like green-gold of the water. Beautiful shot of these beautiful beasts. Sorry to hear about Ginny---it's always hard to watch a dog brave illness...they're so accepting and calm about it, we have much to learn from them...
