Diamond in the sun

OK, I know we have already had a 'photo of the week', but I loved this picture so much I could not wait until next week to share it.

This is Diamond and she likes to work on her tan.

Diamond's pet mom is Sandy of Copper Hill in Floyd County. Sandy writes : "She is one of my 5 girls. She loves to go out on warm days and just lay in the sun. She and her real sister are two wonderful pit bulls."

While we may have to deal with a rain this weekend, there is plenty more sunny days on the way for Diamond.
