Meet my son Jonathan and friend Kim with Shiva. The dog almost looks human :) If only she could talk!

Cool, I love the dog shots :D Did you have a hard time getting the dog to look at you for the posed shot? I have a hardtime with some dogs, they are afraid of the flash.

James.Thanks! Nope, it was the second shot and I only did two shots. Here are some more shots of Shiva and this one appears regularly on the top of your screen! http://adrian.smugmug.com/gallery/211363/16/17956474

Thank you so much. Well, I tried my best. I don't want to hijack the thread but our education is very opposed to what I do, bilingual education. I teach primarily immigrants in their native language and English. It takes quite a long time for these kids to learn the academic English they need to be successful so we continue to develop their academics in the native language while learning English. I was fortunate to be recognized by my peers for this. I am actually now in administration, a vice-principal.

BTW, my dog has roots near you. I almost exclusively own Belgian Malinois. They are work dogs and show dogs but when our friend, a breeder, breeds a dog that is more interested in being a pet we get them. Here are a few pics of her. She comes from a Grand Champion in the sport who was actually bred in the Netherlands I think. I would need to look at the papers.
