Description
Ralph is happy to visit the vet as long as there are NO cats in boxes in the waiting room. He is terrified of them!
Here he is looking out into the garden whilst Ellin is seeing to Fritz.

The light in this room is so perfect for photography that I can't resist every time we go!

Great shot Andrea :)
My girls don't mind going either.
He looks a bit worried, It's funny Freya is fascinated by cats but scared of them at the same time a very dangerous situation as a house down the road has at least 12 of them to tempt her.
yes, this room has beautiful soft light, and the horizontals and verticals make for enchanting shots. A beautiful angle, and I love the light pouring in, it's so 'white'. And Ralph is so peaceful, almost forlorn, as he looks out. I know that, to dogs, waiting in a vet's office is fraught with a sense of abandonment and anticipation. This shot shows all repose and quiet. Lovely shadows, and wonderful light in this. (The flickr version shows Ralph yearning a bit...it's a lovely shot too, esp as he's in shadow as he stares longingly at you....)
If the word wistful can be used to describe a dog this is it. And I agree about the flickr image. He does look as if he's yearning or apprehensive.
both images are powerful in their own right and they do convey a bit of apprehension (at least that's how I see it) and yet a bit of zen calmness.
Fine work.
Our late Magnus was terrified going to the vet. He was always hiding his head under our arms. Like an Ostrich with the head in a bush ;-) I guess Ralph is scared of cats, because of his very short fur, which doesnt protect against cat claws. Our Mulle has difficulties keeping his claws IN, while Sitting with me, so my tighs are full of holes :-/ Pjuske is very careful not to poke holes in me :) Ralph is such a handsome dog.
my favorite pet !
He is looking so longingly out the window; what a lovely shot! My dog is always excited to go to the vet, until we have to go in the exam room, then she wants to leave immediately. The waiting room is fun for her, all those people and animals to investigate!
Cassidy literally drags me in the vets and the groomers place too. We go to Petsmart too.
Awwww, poor baby.... hope he got a good report. Imagine being frightened of cats! Nice shot Andrea.
Some perfect lighting conditions streaming through that window. Wonderful capture Andrea. God bless.
