| This is just a small sample of the dozens of pictures I have of
Jessie in this position. It is how I remember her most fondly, and the pictures that are
the hardest for me to look at. If we were watching TV, she would get her eye on me.
I would ignore her on purpose, as was part of the game, and she would stare and stare.
Finally, she would roll over and give me the "look". I, of course, would
go give her a belly rub and tell her how silly she was. The middle picture on the right
was printed in the AKC Gazette magazine, as an illustration to an article on getting your
dog to be comfortable on its back. The picture in the center was a page in the 1997 365
Dogs calendar. |
