They Grow Up So Fast

Remember the incredibly cute puppy in a sweater with snow on her nose, whose picture was part of Country magazine’s 2009 photo contest?

I wasn’t surprised to learn that that photo, by Robert Shoemaker, won the readers’ vote. It turns out that golden retriever’s name is Sadie.

The magazine’s announcement was accompanied by ten-year-old Morgan Shoemaker’s recent photo of her father and Sadie, taken only about a year after the first.
