My best friend, "Sparky"

[paradise]

Here are some pics I took over the weekend of my Golden, "Sparky". He's the most intelligent dog I have ever had. I speak plain English to him, not "commands" and he listens to me. 2 years old, finally getting over his "kid" behavior. My "then" 4 year old daughter named him Sparky, I dont love it but how can you argue w/a 4 year old. :)

Incidentally, if you look in the EXIF, you can see I was using the Canon 100-400 IS lens. Rented it for a planned trip to the Zoo on Monday (today) that never happened. My partner got sick, so I am working on a day that I was supposed to have total fun shooting at the zoo. Very Sad :-(

What a great looking fella you got there! My Lab is like that too, I speak in a normal tone to him and he actually listens(well most of the time:p) I was looking at the pictures of Sparky on your site, #1 and #2 are classics too.
