Photo of the Day: Two Dogs, C.A. MacConnell C. 2025. I love this one because it perfectly captures the emotional expression and curiosity of these animals. Sure, it's a simple moment in time, but it expresses clear emotion. Those are my favorite kinds of shots. Simple, emotive.
I see a lot of different dogs/cats throughout my day. So far, I've made a lot of new friends, and I haven't had any trouble, like delivery people have from time to time. There were two -- a Rottweiler and a dinosaur-sized St. Bernard (Cujo, yes) -- that deserved some serious space and respect! Rotties are extremely protective of their territory, and anyone who tries to befriend them on someone else's property is an idiot. When I worked at a certain barn many years back, the barn manager had two Rotties, and they were amazing. At the barn, they were kind and loyal to me. I do like those dogs quite a bit, and they're top notch with their families, but I'd never, ever approach one on unfamiliar ground.
But the rest -- Dobermans, Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, and the like -- have proved to be respectful to me. One particular German Shepherd jumped in my car and sat in the passenger seat, waiting for me to get in so that we could take a ride. Anyway, I'm extremely observant, and I give off a vibe and so, I've been lucky so far, but I'm still cautious, because I realize that I could be a threat to any dog's home territory.
Interestingly enough, the dog I've avoided the most is one particular tiny, mixed breed dog...she's rather cute, but I can tell that she wants to tear into me. And the owner advised me as such. Ha.
Looks can be deceiving! This morning, I'm reminded not to compare my insides to others' outsides.
Good morning. Have a great day. Today is all we have! <3
Love to you,
C.A. MacConnell
