A Girl and Her Puppy

Lillian was playing with Sebastian, making him "sit" and "stay" and "come" in and out of the studio.

When he accomplished his tasks, she sat down on the floor, and he crawled "into" her lap. The photo opportunity was irresistible.

Sebastian already knows what a camera does, so he's refusing to look at me while I'm holding that wicked device.

I can't believe that hound is not even eight months old yet. How big is he going to get? Surely he's not going to grow into that head ... !

Howie has been teaching Seb to bark at people who come to the door. Good job, How! Today, the mail carrier had to knock on the door and while Howie led the way, bellowing in fury (butt-hackles straight up), I heard that sweet sound of Sebastian's houndy bay joining in.

And though from this side of the door, I can laugh at the sounds of "Bow-wooooooo! Bow-oooooo!" the hound's voice is BIG and DEEP; there's no mistaking the size of the dog behind it.

Interesting dog. Lil had better grow a bigger lap.
