Those were all nice pictures!
He is a beautiful soul. When my husband found him, he had mange so bad that he only had a little tuft of fur on his back. He was 5 months old and covered in fleas and ticks.
He's now passed out next to me on my bed 
ok, all photo's are good but shoot......Sleeping Beauty???......JMHO should have at least come in the top 3. But all winners are the best. 
Sleeping Beauty is doing his think right next to me at the moment. He's a sweet old boy.
It was so subtle and so nuanced, but the emotion came through--to me, anyway.
It was beautiful.
Excellent photos, all!!
