Blog Gone to The Dogs

Elliott (My irresistible cocker spaniel) and I spent the entire day yesterday babysitting my friend's basenji, Tutank. Today is Elliott's 3rd birthday, so after a day gone to the dogs, and a day of celebrating a dog, this post is dedicated to dogs... unequivocally the GREATEST life form on this planet! Enjoy my photos of Elliott and Tutank.

BTW... For anyone who adores dogs, and especially those of us who spend countless hours at the dog run... I urge you to check out Michael Crouser's site for his new book "Dog Run". The images are absolutely, eminently BRILLIANT! Capturing our canine companions in a whole new way.
