toby smile!

Toby was having a good day today so I snapped this pic with my camera phone. I even got him to give me a little smile.

A big change from even yesterday when he didn't feel good at all! Savoring each and every moment I have with him! Yay Toby!

Hi Claudine!
Toby is SO SO SWEET! What a wonderful picture! My miniature schnauzer seems to have an aversion to the camera...so I have to create a distraction then an ambush to get anything that even vaguely resembles a smile...GREAT CATCH!

Hugs,
Paula Clare

This is the first time I've seen Toby -- I'd only heard about him on Twitter -- but he is adorable. I'm glad he's smiling. :)

I was so happy to get this shot! He kept closing his mouth when i would take the photo so I walked ahead of him about a foot and got him to come to me. Presto!

Anyone know how to save these pics to the phone's SIM card. I can't find an option and I want to keep these when i get my next phone. I have a Samsung Flip Phone that is about 2 years old. i can look up the model number.....

Claudine - check with your provider ... i.e. ATT, Verizon, the other option that I did with one of my photos was to send the file to my email address. Then resend to your new phone. Of course, that was just one photo. ....When I changed phones a few weeks ago (I'm with ATT), they told me it was a little involved and tricky. I went from a "black" nokia to a Samsung propel.

Guess what I am saying, experiment now before changing phones and go visit your provider. They like people wandering in to talk with them and asking strange questions like I do. Could be why they run to the back room when I walk in!

TOBY is just too adorable for words. Prayers coming his way. Marlynn

Each day is a day of togetherness and unconditional love. Treasure each moment and just love him to no end. He's a special little cutie. He knows you love him and he knows you are there for him. That's all he needs from you. My thoughts and prayers have not ended.

dear claudine, i discovered your website for the first time today while numbing myself on the internet. my heart goes out to you and i say this because on st. pat's day i had to say good-bye to my beautiful 12 year old golden, abby. i've been through some rough waters in my days but this was one of the saddest & hardest things i've ever done...thank you for your whimsical art, it brought a smile to my face and who knows...one day i may have you turn my precious pup into a work of art...she did have the best dog smile around!
