Pug Cross rework

Hi all,
         Another busy week has gone by and the decorating/sorting/cleaning up are in the final stages which I have to say I am very pleased about. Yesterday was aimed at downsizing again, and we went through boxes of stuff being very harsh on what to keep and what not, and although it was a little painful for me to part with some things it really needed to be done as I am a bit of hoarder. Over the years we have lived in properties of various sizes, and collected huge amounts of stuff which at the time was all well and good, but now we feel it is no longer needed so has been given away or donated to charity shops. As we are now in  a good sized I bed bungie, which is an ideal size for us to manage given the ongoing health issues, I feel a lot happier and in a round about "cleansed" of toot. The idea of living with what we need rather than what we would like is quite refreshing and in the current financial climate makes good sense to us.
         The picture you see above is of a Pug cross called Darcy and what a beautiful little dog he is. As most of you know going to the dog shows throughout the summer is something I have being doing for many years and have collected a huge range of photos and met some great dogs/people, this dog being one of them. It was back in 2008 that I met this little fellow and just took a few shots of him but for some reason did not manage to connect with his owner. To my surprise and delight at a local show a couple of weeks ago he comes trotting in owner in hand, looking exactly the same although a little grayer around the face. I recognised him straight away ( always the dogs first and owners second ! ) and finally was able to spend some talking with his owner, a lovely lady called Anne. It was done some years ago and I got it out of storage giving it a rework and touching up the colours which is a more truer rendition of this cute little mutt.
