He insisted on a close-up because he knows how beautiful he is. Not only is he pretty he is very loving. Loving of the treats!! He is a "chow hound" and loves to eat, eat, eat. He takes meds because of this - Blackie is food aggressive and as long as you "feed" him (pill) you won't notice a thing. .JPG)
Here is another picture of Blackie - look at the length of that tail. It really is longer than it looks in the picture. I'll try to snap a better shot next visit.
