That is really great! I love this! Cool POV! #4688117

Tonya R. Boles August 23, 2007

Cute capture. #4688219

Jillian Danielson August 23, 2007

John this is really cool! Here just yesterday ,since a hubby and 2 kids are enough pets for me,lol,,I was thinking if the humane society would let me go there and take some pics of their pets! Just didn't get to it yet though.I was busy again with 6 babies instead. Your pic is just awesome! #4688220

Les Rhoades level-classic August 23, 2007

The Swiss would have a fit if you took a picture in the store! This little guy just wants to play. It's a great shot John. #4688240

John Caruso August 23, 2007

Thanks Doc, Amber, Tonya, Jillian, and Les! #4688286

Joy Rector August 23, 2007

oh, I fell in love with this one, great job #4688306

Chris Budny level-deluxe August 23, 2007

Another great story-teller, John. More playful than your dog's paw masterpiece. I'd think the shelters would want to consider using your images in their newsletters/publications.
(And I'm impressed you're able to resist the charms of these animals, and don't have a ranch of 30 pets at home!) #4688323

Dolly L. Davis August 23, 2007

Adorable, John! Great capture - so cute! I would have adopted him!!! #4688451

Michelle L. Frick August 23, 2007

I'm a sucker for a tuxedo kitty John! Fabulous DOF and a great story to go with him! #4688553

John Caruso August 23, 2007

Thanks Joy, Chris, and Dolly!

And for what it's worth, we already have two cats and three dogs at home, so it's easy enough to hold off, LOL! #4688554

John Caruso August 23, 2007

Thanks to you, too, Michelle! You snuck yours in there as I was posting my last response! #4688558

Well composed and great dof.. :-)
