I usually don’t post many Pao photos here. Call it a three-and-a-half year frustration with him that isn’t politically correct to talk about a lot. Anyway, he’s different from Tao, and I still haven’t gotten used to that.

I won’t go into all my gripes. There are definitely positives about him as well, which I will mention. For example, he doesn’t bite. He’s gentle with little kids and seniors and will eat snacks out of their hands. He gets along well with all other dogs. He doesn’t bark outside. He’s good about his toilet habits, and if he uses the inside puppy toilet will ring for service afterwards to get his sheet changed. He’s really nice when people come to the door, or need to come in the house. So I guess I should grow up and get used to the couple of things that drive me completely crazy. (Just know if I’m found lying here one day with a stroke, the cause is you-know-who.)

Anyway, sometimes you can take a photo and it hits you as being perfect. Like if you take multiple photos, you don’t even want to show the others because it will take away from “the one,” That happened this morning.

Pao seemed interested in what I was doing on my computer. That is rare. I think he was drawn to “pings” from a Google support chat. Anyway, the timing seemed just right, so I took this photo.

And every time I look at it I feel something. The stirring of something. I love this selfie.
