I have quite a few pictures of me and Foofer together when he was alive, and I've always wanted the same thing for Rainee.

It was my intention to take a decent picture of Rainee and I together today, but she became rather disobliging the second I put Foofer's old Doggles on her head. Doggles are canine sunglasses, which I ordered specially for Foofer long before Rainee came along in 2004. The shades were made to fit Foofer's large head size, so they were a tad loose on Rainee.

She fought me nearly every inch of the way. I tried to get her to sit with me on the couch - she flopped down on her side on the floor instead. I finally managed to get her onto the couch, but she jerked her head away from me when I held her and snapped a picture. The end result was all the images came out blurry. However, it was the best I could do with a camera in one hand and a squirming dog in the other. When I finally gave up, Rainee flew off the couch and ran as if the hounds from hell were at her heels.
