Windswept
Uploaded: August 24, 2008 03:16:33
This is a Chinese Crested taken today at Safety Harbor, FL during a 2-hour world-wide photowalk. The walk was initiated by Scott Kelby (who lives in the area and whom I actually met today). The rain from tropical storm Fay actually stayed away for our walk, but as you can see from this little dog's ears, the wind did not!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments! I truly appreciate all of you!Michelle A., Scott did a walk in Dunedin but it was full so quickly I didn't have a chance to get in it. However, he did pay us a quick visit in Safety Harbor, which is where I am told he lives. He didn't go on the walk with us though; he probably wanted to hurry home and upload his photos from his walk.
Colleen, I didn't get the people's address. I offered them a business card to see the image on BP, but the man must have thought I was trying to sell him photos of his dog, so he said "That's ok, I have plenty of pictures of her" and then he hurried off!
Peaches, I didn't know Scott did classes too; I thought he just wrote books!
Michelle F, you certainly do! :)
Jojie, I love both dogs and cats...well really, most animals! I used to work as a veterinarian assistant and in animal control in my younger days! #6497320

Me too-this should have gotten a gold. :) I'm so behind on congratulations and you didn't tell me how many finalists you got. ;) Anyway, Big, Belated congratulations on a most well-deserved finalist, Carol! #6522277Elizabeth A. Marker May 24, 2009
Great capture & at the perfect time! These are very unusual looking dogs, but this one is by far the cutiest one I have ever seen and you have captured it so wonderfully! Congrats as well!Carol Teal May 25, 2009
A late thanks to all of you! I so appreciate your kind words; even when I don't have time to respond I always read all the comments. I hope I have more time this summer to keep up with BP and all of you!And Elizabeth, they are such unusual looking dogs but the more you see them, I think they begin to grow on you. If you haven't seen Hotel for Dogs, you should watch it. I thought it was a cute movie and it had one of these (Romeo) and he was so cute that even Justin said he wouldn't mind having one! :) #7554237
