Jake with Alayne 1

We were taking photos on Sunday for the spring print newsletter. I was framing the shot to see how it would look when I got that photo of blind Jake giving Alayne a kiss. 

Here they are in the very next frame, post-smooch:

Jake with Alayne 2

I'd like to give that face a kiss, too. (The woman, not the dog.)

    Oh come on, 1st give Alayne a nice sweet kiss then I’m sure you could spare a little peck on the head for big Jake. He looks like he might give you a big sloppy doggie kiss in return. Worth a try….

    Steve really captured the tender moment between Alayne and Jake in the first photo, and what a radiant smile on Alayne’s face in the second one!

    You kiss Alayne, Steve, and I’ll smooch on Jake. 🙂
    You know, I sometimes think we forget that you and Alayne are a married couple, with all the ups and downs that come with marriage, rolled into the unique work you do with animals (a lifestyle as much as work). I am glad you two have each other – special people doing special work.
