Artist's Comments

My puppy Hickory...his first time ever playing in the rain.

How I got the shot: He was actually terrified of the water, and refused to go out in the swamp that was our half flooded yard. So I rolled up my pajama pants and ran full speed through the deepest part of the water. He took off after me....I held my camera down at his level, facing behind me, and continued to run from the soggy furry terror...and click!

I'm totally annoyed his head got cut off, but still love the moment it captured. The truly amusing part of the whole story was how he whined and howled later that evening when we gave him a bath to get all the grass and muck off him. Crazy pup.

It should be noted that we continued to play in the rain for a good amount of time after my camera was in the safety of the house...it was so much fun. The moral? Life is short, people...play in the rain!

This photo won a contest in the New Jersey Star Ledger newspaper on Mothers Day, 2006! YAY ME!
