What is yours is mine...

...and what is mine, is mine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Katie...I get it: you might be minus a limb but you still claim my pillow any chance you get.


Katie was 41 days post-amp when this picture was taken.

(Shot with the Nikon D600 using the 50mm f/1.8 lens; aperture-priority, with aperture set to f/1.8, shutter speed 1/50 second at ISO 220; auto white balance; normal JPG; imported and converted to black-and-white using Lightroom.)

    1. she's more pleased that we're letting her back on our bed. for the first couple of weeks after her amputation we were told to keep her from doing any jumping or running. we let her go as fast as she dared.

    1. it must've been painful for her while that tumor was growing in her humerus, but she never let on that anything was wrong. i can't imagine how she did that.

  4. Katie is really a lovely lady...and a lovely name (not that I'm biased! :)

    1. i've always liked the name, and it seemed to fit after we adopted her. there was no way we could use any part of her racing name.

    2. I'm somewhat of a newcomer to the blog. What was her racing name? My parent's current adopted racer is named Ray, which is a nickname from his racing name -- Fuzzy's Raider.

    3. her racing name was "leading home." unless one has quite the fertile imagination (because i don't have one) there was no proper name to be derived from it.

  5. Who needs a 4th leg? It gets in the way of posing so beautifully.

  7. Katie seems to pose even better for photos now? Or maybe you're taking more of her :) She is looking so wonderful.

    1. taking more pictures of her lately -- sadie, not so much. sadie did have a growth removed from one of her toes a few weeks back (fortunately, the growth was benign). she will get more pictures taken of her. my wife took a really nice backlit one of sadie a few days ago.

  8. I haven`t ever seen so truly emotions on the dog`s muzzle. It`s fantasic! Katie`s deep eyes charmed me! Do you always allow her to lay on your bed?

    1. anytime she wants she can get on our bed, and she favors lying at the head of the bed. she made it her favorite spot in the house right after we brought her home.
