I’m taking a break today from writing about our adventures in Zanzibar (more to come, don’t miss it!) to enter the I Heart Faces weekly photo competition. The theme this week over there is Pets. I took this photo of our Ella Bella a few days after we got back from 3 months in the USA. She had missed us terribly and was willing to pose. Now, since we’ve been back for awhile, true to Great Dane form, she turns tail and runs whenever she sees the camera come out. I’m pretty sure she thinks the camera is a Great Dane eating monster, just like her water bowl and the nail clippers. Cheeky puppy, oh well.
You can see more photos of Miss Ella-the-cheekiest-dane-in-the-world right here and let me know if you think I picked the right one to enter. I am a horrible decision maker, but I know you all love me anyways.

Love the angle and the sweet dog! Great shot.
Oh Miss Ella, you are breathtakingly perfect. If you don’t win, I’m organizing a hunger strike (this could get very serious).
Oh Dearest, Sweetest, Kristy. I just want to let you know that you enrich my life with your prose and photos. Ella is truly one of God’s finest. Thanks for sharing.
