Thank you all for the kind words. These were a very different set for me because I typically don't use props in my photographs. My general mindset is 'the dog, the whole dog and nothing but the dog.' However, I will admit that they definitely added something to the photographic series.

As to being invited back - yes - it felt great. My customer base for pets is relatively small, and it is something that I really enjoy. What was nice for me was that I had some definite anxiety that they were not going to be any better than the first set - these definitely trumped the first set.
