Melinda F. Schneider January 10, 2008

When Peabody goes out, I go out, and we suffer the cold together. When it's bitter cold, we never stay out longer than a very few minutes!

Thank you Shannon and Ken for your compliments on this photo. It's one of my favorites and I'm glad other people are enjoying it, too! #5321625

Connie Lanyon-Roberts January 10, 2008

Melinda F. Schneider January 13, 2008

Thanks for your wonderful comments, Sue and Joanne.

Actually, when we compete in agility, I pray for cold days. Unless I am shivering (60 degrees or less), Peabody thinks it's hot and is not at his fastest! Maybe it's just the snow he doesn't like! #5334525

January 13, 2008

Wonderful shot Melinda. The expression on his face is priceless. The colors are great and great detail. #5335514

Melinda F. Schneider January 14, 2008

Thank you, Donna. #5336119

Wanda B. Anderson January 14, 2008

The look in his eyes melts your heart. I shared Peabody's pictures and story with my husband, who is a real softy when it comes to animals and he was touched. #5337428

Melinda F. Schneider January 15, 2008

Melinda F. Schneider January 16, 2008

Dick Jenkins January 26, 2008

Melinda this is my favorite from your gallery. That's not to say that the others don't speak to me, I like Uncle Jim settling in with his new book, and seeing the New England countryside brings me back to my roots in Manchester, Connecticut.

Peabody: I believe the eyes tell me what's inside. Whether it be a human or an animal. His personality clearly shows here. I'd guess he's reluctant to even bark a "I want in." Love your pictures. Glad I found your gallery. #5399285

Melinda F. Schneider January 26, 2008

Dick, thank you so much for visiting and leaving such kind words. Peabody never was much of a barker but then, he didn't need to be--with those eyes it was easy for him to communicate with me! #5399323

Betsy Labuschagne January 27, 2008

Melinda Congratulations on your POTD. Peasbody has the most expressive face and this is a very cute capture. I don't think Phantom would like the cold either. He's a California dog for sure. Have a great day and congrats again. #5668112

Carol A. Roux March 20, 2008

They say aqnimals don't show expression. Wrong! One look at this picture proves them wrong. Not only is he cold, wet, and very upset with you for leaving him out so long.
You probably paid for leaving him out so long.
Great shot, good color and it is just appealing. Added to my favorites.
Carol #5668294

For the record, Peabody was neither wet nor had he been left outside. We were outside together for just a few minutes. (Just long enough for three dogs to pee!) #5668357

Carol A. Roux March 22, 2008

Melinda
There has to be story about Peabody's name. It is unusual for a sheltie to be so named.
Please tell me how he was named.
Thanks
Carol #5679889

Melinda F. Schneider March 22, 2008

Hi Carol,
Peabody was named by my son who named him after a character in the Danger Mouse cartoon series. Thanks for asking! #5680715

David A. Simons March 23, 2008

Thanks Gail.
Peabody makes me proud in so many ways! #5719083

Bunny Snow April 01, 2008

I have empathy for your dog and can feel the cold temperature and the ice in his paws and how it hurt. Dogs can get frost bite just like people.

When we lived in Wyoming, our dog was out for a very short time in the winter and I was always watching for her at the door to hasten her return to the warmth of the house.

Still, this is a wonderful capture! #5729076

Melinda F. Schneider April 01, 2008

Thanks Bunny!
I once had a dog who was missing the tip of one ear; although I'll never know for sure, I always suspected that it was lost to frost bite. Before I adopted her, she'd been kept outside. My dogs are never out without me. Even with a fenced yard, I am always outside with them. #5729215

Mike D. Perez April 06, 2008

You caught a great expression with this image, Melissa! Priceless!

BTW I got my martingale collar this morning and while I was at it gave Skyler an intorductory tour of the kennel and the exercise yards. She jumped in the car by herself this morning for the first time! #5752039

Melinda F. Schneider April 06, 2008

Thank you Mike!
Glad you found the martingale. Hooray for Skyler! #5752701

What an absolutely unforgettable expression! I can't think how I missed this POTD. I am so sorry to hear that Peabody has passed on what a wonderful dog and such great memories you have of him. #6715556

Melinda F. Schneider November 06, 2008

Thanks so very much, Kate. #6715633

Carol A. Roux November 06, 2008

Melinda
I am sorry to hear about Peabody also.
However he is on the other side of the rainbow bridge waiting for you. Keep this kind thought in your mind, and you will never loose his love. #6715967

KIM A. RINCONES November 06, 2008

Melinda, I too am so sorry to hear about Peabody. My dog was very sick last year and needed major surgery. I know what pets bring to ones life. Your gallery is beautiful, hope you keep taking pictures. Kim #6715997

Teresa Norris November 06, 2008

Melinda, my heart goes out to you in the loss of your wonderful Peabody. Please know I am thinking of you, and remembering your very special friend. #6716038

Melinda F. Schneider November 06, 2008

Thank you Carol, Kim, and Teresa.
Earlier this week, I delivered 20 "Peabody pictures" to an art gallery in Stony Creek, Connecticut to be part of an exhibit called "Animals as a Healing Force." It is so cool to think of my little dog being shared with so many dog lovers. In addition to being an awesome agility dog, Peabody was a certified Therapy Dog. He was the best. #6716934

Christine Lobsinger April 14, 2009

Hi Melinda... found your photo above in the Photo Of the Day section... He looks 'PRICELESS'... excellent ad shot... A +++ love the expression/clarity/details/colours... everything!! Nice to find him!

SMILING With You #7405998

Melinda F. Schneider April 15, 2009

Thanks so much Christine! I'm glad you found him; it's always nice for me to get compliments for Peabody! #7406224

Debbie E. Payne April 15, 2009

Melinda -- I just LOVE it when this particular shot comes up in my email. This is just such an amazing shot that shows the true emotion that animals possess and I'm glad to hear that Peabody's photos are helping others get in touch with what an animal's love and devotion is all about. I would love to train Sampson as a Therapy dog and may look into this. I know it takes a lot of hours and maybe I could do this over the summer. How long did you train for this with Peabody. I know you still must miss him like crazy. We never quite get over our loving companions....Nor should we. They will always be a part of us. #7408521

Melinda F. Schneider April 15, 2009

Oh thank you Debbie!
Peabody had a basic obedience class before taking the Therapy Dog test. Honestly, passing the test has more to do with a dog's basic personality than anything else. I have had 3 dogs who were certified as therapy dogs. I currently have one who has had tons of training but she would NEVER pass the test--she is overly friendly, lol! Good luck with Sampson; it's a lot of fun to do. #7408573

Ann Coates April 30, 2016

Well, I bet he gets to come in now - he's top dog now. Congratulations on your beautiful finalist. #11468059

Melinda F. Schneider April 30, 2016

Thank you, Ann. #11468189
