Chief Cheery Officer (CCO) Kiyo
Chief Cheery Officer Kiyo of cheerfuldogs.com

Almost every year, J flies in and (is) volunteered to take candid shots of our Chief Cheery Officer Kiyo. By nature, J much prefers to let sleeping dogs lie, but over the years, she has come to be quite the doting aunty of our CCO – his “ruggedly handsome” looks are persuasive enough for her to allow mysterious parcels filled with doggy stuff to be delivered to her front porch in suburban USA :). And when it comes to catching those fleeting moments on camera, J is unburdened by trainer’s pride, and so she only has one thing to focus on – Kiyo, in all his ‘glory’.

Here then, is a  whirlwind peek at what we got last week, in no particular order. Our CCO approves. We hope you do too!
