Sala Sleep, Nacogdoches TX

The newest member of the Bellinger family gets his beauty rest in the sun on the couch. No one ever claimed Sala Kala Muh Bagh, so we decided to keep that damned black face tiger (translation of his name). We took him to the vet and got him all up to date on his shots. He's about 3.5 months old, so he's been a handful. Cheech is his new best friend, but big daddy Big Red hasn't really warmed up to the youngster yet. He's never liked puppies and he's getting grouchier by the day. We still don't know much about Sala's breed. The vet thought Catahoula mix, but I've looked online and have not seen many brindle colored Catahoulas out there. From google images the closest breed still seems to be Plott Hound to me, so maybe a Plott Hound Catahoula mix?

This is a shot with my Canon EF 135mm f/2 L series lens. I don't have a telephoto zoom so this is my longest lens. On my 7D the 135mm is actually cropped to 215mm, so it's long enough for me. I like this lens because it's super sharp. Even here at f/2.8 it's really sharp. But it does not have IS, so I like to use a really fast shutter speed if possible.

Critiques are always welcome.
