Spinner in evening 1

Alayne got these photos of blind-and-deaf Spinner late yesterday enjoying the smells of a warm spring evening, when everything is green and lush.  Like all the dogs, she loves this time of year, but because her nose is more powerful and sensitive than the average dog's, the spring smells must be an even richer environment for her.  She delights in sitting outside and soaking it all in.

This is her classic pose, nose up … then she starts moving her head around to see what else she can get from the air.  Here she is now pointed south:

Then east:

And finally, after detecting Alayne's presence, right at the camera:

    Spinner is such a beautiful dog and these photos are beautiful enough to be on the cover of a magazine. And they should help to dispell any ideas that a disabled animal can’t live a normal life. She looks very happy in these photos!

    It is precisely this kind of picture that makes RDR such an amazing place. The rocks are probably still a little warm from the day’s sun.
