Hannah was with us more than 11 years, more than 132 months, more than 4,015 days. How can it be that I have fewer than 700 photographs of her, most of them either out of focus, with her head turned away, her body in motion, or multiples/slight variations of the same image?

She came with lots of fears but one of them did not seem to be the camera. Yet it didn't take her but a few weeks to decide she would not pose for photographs. She would have the cutest expression or the funniest post, I'd pull out the camera. She would look straight at the camera then just at the moment when I
pushed the button, she would pull her ears back and look away. These photos show Hannah's camera avoidance techniques.

You may be wondering if I tried using food to get Hannah's attention. I did! I was never successful in keeping her attention focused long enough to take a good photo and I often ended up with nose smudges on the camera.
I'm grateful to have a few good photos.
How I miss this darling girl. I wish I could hold her sweet face in my hands again and give her a kiss on the muzzle, give her an ear rub, and hug the heck out of her.
Missing Hannah.
