Thanks, you guys. Eddie and I are blushing again. It was funny, I forgot to sign off when we went to obedience class, and I came back to my original message and no responses. I hit refresh and was delighted to see all your nice comments. I guess I should know better by now. Yorkie owners don't get tired of pictures.

Iheartyorkies, you're right, he does look like a little pokeymon character. When he runs, the hair streams back on his face. It was actually a simple picture to take. Eddie met another Yorkie (Bruce) for the first time, and they were running in circles around me chasing each other. I set the camera on its "sports" setting and snapped away. It was a nice sunny day, so that helped get a faster shutter speed. The secret to action shots is anticipating where the action is going to be. Villette has a great shot of Chanel, and she said the same thing. She knew where the action was going to be because she was squirting the hose in that direction.

Thanks again for the kind words.
