This week’s theme was to illustrate “grace” through an image. Now, my Lady Jane is anything but graceful, but she does have one habit she has picked up in the last year that nudges her in the right direction. When she is at rest, she crosses her paws. I do not know why she suddenly started doing this, but it does make her very cute. And,it is far more graceful a pose than the “one-back-leg in-the-air-so-I-can-lick-my-bum” position she is fond of demonstrating.
With that, this week’s image is one of those lovely little crossed paws.
The other image I wanted to share on this theme is of little Winston. As Posh Pets blog readers know, I volunteer my time to take images of the animals that are available for adoption each week at the Toronto animal shelter. Through that experience, I meet all kinds of animals – some are goofy, some are sad and some, like little Winston pictured here, have such poise of spirit (I would say “grace” in their manners) that you immediately want to take them home. Just take a look at the seriousness on his little face along with his charming pose! I am hoping that images like these will impress on people that shelter animals are not “damaged” pets. They are loveable little furry souls who could warm your heart and home. May everyone consider adopting the next time they are looking for a four-legged family member…
Well that is it for another week of Project 52 for Posh Pets! But, YOU are not done yet…please now check out the talented Dana Cubbage from Charleston, South Carolina. I can’t wait to see who “graced” her blog this week! And be sure to click through to see all the wonderful imagery from the rest of the Project 52 members.
My cat crosses his paws too – such a funny pose for a butch cat like him!
Winston is adorable. I agree with you that it’s so important to make people see that shelter animals are just as loving and as full of personality than any other animal – my two dogs and my cat are all from a shelter and I wouldn’t change them for the world.
Two lovely photos – those crossed paws are so dainty and pretty.
I hope your beautiful photo of Winston helps him find a home quickly.
Love the crossed paws shot. Very elegant and graceful. Cats usually have a lot more grace than dogs 🙂
Oh, love, love, love Lady Jane’s crossed paws! And Winston is such a cutie, I’m sure your beautiful image will help him find a new home.
The paw photo is great! Winston is adorable.
Beautiful and moving images as always. Those Lady paws and the shelter puppies, most definitely “grace”.
