I was going to name this "Best Friends Best Friend" but then I realized that Caseys NEADS harness was showing and everyone might mistake him for Karma-the-Wonder-Pup.

Sorry about the line right at the midway point, couldnt be helped. Casey is trained to ONLY listen to my husband... which makes him a nearly impossible subject and I had to do this in the only place he would sit still and hold RJ. He is a smooth-coat collie for all those who are curious.

The texture on this is so incredible, and the way it all seems to resolve into the central teddy bear. We know people best by knowing what they love! I mean dogs...
What a gorgeous smoothie! His bear is remarkably well preserved. :P Wish the focus was tighter on the pup's face and less so on the toy. The ever-so-slightly out of sharp ears bother my eyes.
