52 Snapshots of Life: Week 33 – Black
Had to showcase my best boy, Jasper, for this week’s 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge. The theme is black and that’s my little guy! I took this while out on a walk recently. It was an exciting walk because, after months of looking, I finally spotted a gnome in someone’s garden. I’ve wanted to take a pic of one of the dogs beside a gnome for the longest time. It’s my love of kitsch and pop culture. If you follow us on Instagram (@barkandswagger), you’ll see it. I’ll be posting it there. But, this one is more traditional, beside a white picket fence. I liked how Jasper’s dark fur stood out against it.
I’m so glad we adopted Jasper. Thank goodness, he wasn’t at the shelter that long, according to them, anyway. But, he is a black dog and some people don’t want to adopt a black dog. I don’t understand it. Why do you think that is?
Pet blogging friend and colleague, Christina Berry of The Lazy Pitbull, created this fun challenge. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate. Just snap or choose a pic you’ve taken that matches that week’s theme and post it on your social networks, with the hashtag #52Snapshots, so we can all follow along! For pet bloggers, this is a BlogHop, so hop on!
Do you have a black dog story to share?
You look quite handsome posing there Jasper!
Why, thank you, Ms. Ann, says the debonair Jasper… LOL
I don’t know why black pets are overlooked in shelters (or end up in shelters!), I’ve had many black pets over the years, I just don’t get why they are overlooked. They don’t look mean, or anything. Strange. Humans are so strange.
Your Jasper has such a handsome face! Must be fun to photograph that cutie!
I wanna see the gnome! (picket fence is nice, too, though)
It IS the weirdest thing. Something that would never cross my mind. Thank you re Jasper, Kathy. I’m going to put the gnome shot up tomorrow morning so come on over to @BarkandSwagger and let’s make sure we’re following each other. 🙂
Jasper is so cute!
I think so, too, Lauren! But, then again, I’m biased. 🙂 Hope you and yours having a great Sunday!
