The meeuuhs didn't sound very happy.

That line cracked me up. And yes they don't look happy at all.

I lost my 7months old puppy early this year, when i miss her i'd just search for her photo in my phone and smile.
Do you know why i smile?
Because i took the shot myself, captured the image with all the emotion painted into a canvas.

The satisfaction derived from taking animal pictures, i totally agree with you.
