October self-portrait - I am...an animal lover

My girl Jorga is such a great companion.  She runs, jumps, and wiggles all over when I come home, and follows me from room to room.  She happily hops into the car to go with me, regardless of where we're going.  Such a sweetie...
I can't leave out a mention of my cat, Alfred - he's a sweetie too...most of the time.  And my horse, Mani.  Love them all!
Okay, I know it looks like I'm choking poor Jorga here but I'm really not.  Just had to hold her head up because she kept wanting to roll over for a belly rub, which made her drop out of the frame.  Yep, it took quite a few takes for this shot.
