New Year's Resolution: Her resolution is to be more active, and try to get her owners to take her out on walks or take her to the park to throw balls around more often. She knows when her owners are ready to leave (when they are putting their coats and shoes on), so she just throws that sad puppy dog face to hopefully lure them into taking her with them on their adventures.
Name: Berryessa or Essa for short
Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever
Age: 1.5 years
Special Interests: Essa loves to play fetch. Tennis balls are her favorite, and she can fetch for hours if she wanted too.
She can never let a human out of her sight if they are around. She'll always be at someone's feet. If they aren't giving her the attention that she wants she'll whine and nudge them to pet her.
Essa knows sit, stay, fetch, shake, give me ten, and go to bed. The
next trick she is learning, is to "drop-it" then eventually
putting her toys away in her box.
How We Met: My boyfriend and I finally decided on the breed, gender
and color of puppy we wanted after we had purchased our first condo.
But after an endless, unsuccessful search for a female chocolate lab,
we finally decided to pick-up a female yellow lab puppy. We had an
appointment and everything. But the night before we were to pick up a
yellow lab puppy, I came home from school and found a female chocolate
lab puppy in our condo. =) She's been actively involved in our lives
since.
Am I keeping my resolution?: I can do a mean puppy-dog face. =)

Okay, I was a bit harsh on the other Essa photo (with the icicle) so this is where I make it up. This shallow depth of field (on a close up) works really well. Great shot. It's up there on my list of favorites. Now with 2 of my favorites, stay tuned to find out if one of your two wins my final vote in Pets Speak Out!! JA
