&I didn't grow up with any pets in our house - not even a fish. Actually, most of my family friends are pet-less as well. Since I'm just not around them much, I'm not what you would call a "pet person". However, today I had a great time photographing a friend of a friend's dog, Paka! We rolled around on the floor together, ran up and down the stairs and even ate some cheese!

Paka is a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

She has a beautiful stripe of hair on her back which runs in the opposite direction of the rest of her hair. So unique!

Still a puppy, but getting so big!

Carissa and Paka sharing a moment.

On her blanket.

Carissa told me that when Darren got home, Paka would run to greet him. Well, sorta. Instead she bolted for the front yard!

I love this picture of her on the stairs!

Family photo!

Who could say no to those eyes!

Favorite!

Paka got tired from being in the spotlight.
