I appreciate both your comments Ann and Melissa ! Orrin brought Waco home 15 years ago when on a work related assignment. This is a personal favorite of mine because I know the deep seated relationship between them. Mutual respect and loyalty. #6106846

Melanie -- this is a super pic.

It has a Norman Rockwell feel to it.

I love it! #6111024

Melanie- Good morning my friend. I know that bond as I had a golden retriever that was my sidekick for many a wonderful years and a constant companion. That is a bond that always brings such wonderful memories of going fishing or just down to the store.
First thing that impressed me about the picture is the sunlight. Hot and shinning down. I love in the background the sun so bright that you can hardly see anything, the expression on his face shows how bright with his squinting, and them the rays comming down across the door of the truck right into his eys. I would squint to. The clarity is outstanding. Fabulous work with the colors. Definitions of your husband and Waco are well defining. This is a great picture.
Outstanding work
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy, be safe out there. #6113059
