I never thought I'd get such a good photo of the ever-enthusiastic Lacey, but the moment I walked into her backyard and took out my camera, she hopped right into the chair and posed all sweet like. Right afterward, it was business as usual for the English springer spaniel: having her ears rubbed or her chin scratched and then playbiting at my hands.

Hyper and playful
Whimpering springer spaniel:
My sweet pea Lacey.
