Sophie the Newfie
My husband took this photo of Sophie, our sweet Newfie. She is difficult to photograph because she's mostly black, and she often looks like a shadow blob in pictures, with no definition. We've learned the secret is to flood her with light. Here she is in the cold January sun. Yes, it's January, and we have no snow this year -- despite the polar vortex bringing sub-zero temps.
For the record, Sophie loves the colder weather--much easier to take than summer heat and humidity. She has a thick coat. Last April, she found the last remaining pile of snow, and promptly laid on it to "cool her jets."

Sheesh - you don't have snow either? We've only had the briefest of snowfalls that immediately melt away. And now we have been below freezing for several days, dipping into single digits last night. Run that water to keep the pipes from freezing! Love the pic of your black dog and that story about finding the last bit of snow to lie in. Having had black Labs most of my adult life, I too know the difficulty of getting a good pic of a black dog. And although they don't have the same thick coat as your dog, it seemed that the colder it got, the more they wanted to be out in it.
