Sam, Sheepdog of Destiny!

[majestic background music] Like a rock he stands eternal, guarding his precious flock. Whenever sheep are menaced by ravenous wolves, he selflessly rushes to their rescue… at least until quitting time.

Yes what an amazing photo. It is an award winning photo x 3… technically, compositionally, and of course the doggo subject matter!

When NomTom mentioned quitting time I thought of that cartoon… and there it was! A classic.

Mike –

I don’t know where in Florida you are, but I hope you stay safe with Hurricane Dorian barreling towards the coast. Please let us know you’re ok (and any other Cutetropolians in its path).

  Thank you! I’m inland and not in any danger. Also, the projected path appears to have shifted north to the Carolinas, so you folks up there stay safe.

    Good to hear.
    
    Hope that the others in the path take precautions and are safe.

Please may I quote the lines (my Dad’s favourites): “Morning, Sam.” “Morning, Ralph.”
