Fun Monday: a prized photo or pocession

This week's Fun Monday challenge is hosted by The Lurchers and she has asked us to do the following:

Show me your favourite photograph and tell me why it's your favourite. It can be one you've taken yourself or one someone else has taken, a snapshot or a more professional image. Is there a story behind it? Do you love it for the memories it gives or just because it's pleasing to the eye? Show me and tell me!

I haven't participated in FM for a while, but this one seemed easy and fun (a few of the more recent ones have been HARD :D).

Certainly, as the years have gone by, my favorite photo has changed. Most recently, this has been my favorite: The photo is a picture of Gabi, the Girl Goober. She is about a year old at the time that I shot this, and we had been having a ball chasing fest out in the backyard. She was happy, having been running around, doing her thing, and I think that the photo captures that. Whenever I see this picture, I feel a nice little smile inside.

Now, for much the same reasons, the following two photos will likely also hit that same "This Pictures Just Makes Me Smile Inside Gallery" soon:

Both pictures have some technical faults but who cares! What can I say? I am just a sucker for a smiling dog!

Hug your hounds! Visit the other participants in this Monday's FM at The Lurchers.

Is that anything to compare to knowing that you've helped put a smile on a dog's face? So-o- tired from all that chasing but boy wasn't it fun! And the second one, I'm hearing "Take it! Take it! I've got it and you're supposed to take it!"

Great choices. I'm a sucker for a smiling dog, too.

My dog has a hug grin as well (being part whippet, we believe) and it comes out a lot now. Those are wonderful photos! Made me smile too!

Ha! I love it. I was going to post a couple of pet pics, but I post so many I thought I'd go a different route.

I LOVE the shot of the tennis ball! They're all so good, I like 'em all....but the tennis ball in the mouth is priceless.

Those dogs of yours really do seem to smile! Such nice, wide smiles, too. I love those two close ups. They're near perfect and so expressive.
