i didn't know where to post this. it fell more into people than it did wildlife or other. dogs are afterall, man's best friend.

so ...
We are looking into adopting a boxer from a rescue. This weekend we went and did a meet & greet with a few favorites. By the end of the meeting, we completely forgot who was who. Either I am getting old, or all the boxers started looking the same. This is the one we are thinking of getting. quite a sweety.

    You asked for it!lol!

    The only part of the picture that IS in focus is the arm of the long chair, which as far away from the dogs tail( which you can't even see Laughing.gifeek7.gif) as you can get! That being the main problem with your picture......I hope I am not toooo harsh?:D:D:D

    - thanks Dogdots! we pick her up tomorrow evening. very excited. :-)

    - Mr. Quiet - haha. you are right. when i have my glasses on, the tail is in focus. :-D

    i find it amazing that while technically you (and others) are correct, the photo is out of focus, the eyes have sun glare and most of the photo is just a color smudge.. it conveys such emotion to give the viewer a complete feel of what the dog is feeling (and the person scratching her)

    Soooo... I'm going to casually play this off as... "Yea... I did it intentionally!" HAHAHA ;-)
