Her Obsession
Uploaded: March 10, 2005 06:31:00
Our dog Nala has been obsessed with this little red ball that came in her feline sister's cat litter for about 3 years. We've had to hide it off and on during those three years because this ball makes her absolutely crazy!

Cute shot and cute dog Olivia! #223454Margot Petrowski March 10, 2005
Darling pup!!! Is she is Shih-Tzu? #1161541Lori Ditlefsen March 10, 2005
Cute shot, Olivia! #1161549Colette M. Metcalf March 10, 2005
Very cute, Olivia!! #1161575Jill Flynn March 10, 2005
Funny and cute shot Olivia! #1161631Olivia Navarro March 10, 2005
Thanks Kathy, Lori, Colette, and Jill! She is a Shih-Tzu, almost 8 years old. We think since the ball came in the cat litter, it must have catnip in it. Our cat has never cared for it but Nala took to it the second she saw it. :)This is how she usually holds it--tight in her jaws, protecting it from "predators" (otherwise known as my children)! #1161752

She doesn't look like she's going to give it up any time soon! Very cute! #1161879Piotr M. Organa March 10, 2005
Nice photo, Olivia!Stacey M March 10, 2005
what an adorable dog!!! I used to have a Lhasa that also loved his tennis ball. Great capture!!! #1162330Olivia Navarro March 10, 2005
Thank you so much everyone! I'm sure Nala would appreciate all the compliments! :) #1162449Toni Hopper March 13, 2005
A good photo! great catchlights in the pup's eyes. #1169693Olivia Navarro March 13, 2005
Thanks Toni! #1170220DiAnna F. Paulk March 14, 2005
This is a terrific photo on many levels, Olivia. The whites are just wonderful without being blown-out at all (something that gives me fits!) and that bright red ball draws you attention right into the photo. Nala's eyes are sharply focused -- a must for portraits. I don't see any room for improvement on this one! #1172976Olivia Navarro March 14, 2005
DiAnna, thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that. #1173067Laurence Saliba March 15, 2005
Oh I want one of these!!!! He's so cute!!! #1174403Olivia Navarro March 15, 2005
Thank you Laurence! This one is actually a she. Shih-tzus are such great dogs. #1174410Margot Petrowski April 19, 2005
I wish that your Nala and my Misiu could meet. I love Shih Tzus!!!! #1269329Olivia Navarro April 19, 2005
Wouldn't that be fun?! :) We'd have to invite my Edgar to come along as well. I'll have to get a nice portrait up of him so you can see how similar he looks to your Misiu. #1269388Mata Patan April 21, 2005

Thank you so much Kerby and Kate! #1291630Darren K. Fisher June 04, 2005
OH she is so cute. She is a Shih Tzu right? I have four of them. Two that are soon to be three and two that are just pups. My Ally looks a lot like this one she is the one that had pups. You done a wonderful job here and congrats on being a finalist. #1431282Olivia Navarro June 08, 2005
Darren, I didn't see this message until just now! :-)Thanks so much! Yes, she's a Shih Tzu--just turned 8 in April. She's so fun! My first "baby"! :-)
I remember seeing pictures of your newborn pups. What an amazing thing to witness! #1448238
