Two Things Challenge - Big / Little

Little Big Dog
Portrait of Winston by Mrs. DL
There is nothing bigger than a little terrier; a little dog who's personality is that of a big dog.
Winston turned 13 this year, and has recently gone deaf. A mixed blessing. We can now say such words as walk, squirrel, car, ride, treat, going to the lake. Yet I believe he takes full advantage of not listening to our commands. He's coming along fine with hand signals. But if you know a terrier, they can be stubborn. Stubborn like me, as I'm told. ;)
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/7.1
Focal Length: 70 mm

He is a cutie & hides his age really well. Our golden LOVES chasing squirrels. It's the one word that will get her up when she plants herself in the shade during a walk.

WEll I wish I looked as good as Winston in my "golden" years! What a cute pup. I would like to scoop him up and give him a big ole smoochie smooch! (yes I talk silly to dogs and babies, I can't help it)

I love Winston's portrait by Mrs. DL. Such a beautiful setting on the leaves. And what a bright little chap he is. Dogs do well when deaf. I have one here. You do need to gently wake them, tho, don't you? I used to breed Westies a lifetime ago. A lovely breed, and as you say a big dog in a little package.
