Bob Marley called.....

...he wants his dog back!

Face Off

Puppy love????

Every Dog Has His Day

And this sweet pooch was no exception.  He/she brought his human to Art on Ruffner Mountain Saturday and there were plenty of nice folks to hand out chin scratches.  Art on R Mountain was sponsored by the East Lake Arts District.

Patiently Waiting

Yesterday while having coffee at Continental Bakery, this cute pooch and his human were waiting outside.  This is one smart dog.  Any handout from this bakery is top notch!

Love Pat

Steve Gilmer, the owner of the wild, wacky and eclectic What's on Second, has two shop pups.  They were just so darn cute peering over the counter at me I spent half the time I was there trying to catch them without motion blur!  I did catch Steve's dear assistant as she was getting ready to take one for a walk. I think her love pat says it all.

This post is for my dear dog loving friend in Gorbio, France......Jilly.  She blogs from Menton FR here, and Monte Carlo here, and features Riviera dogs here.  She and I always have lovely long phone chats while I"m in Paris and we SKYPE now and then.   One day I hope to meet her in person.  I can't wait to visit her  home and meet all of her chers chiens, and the ones she boards ( and loves)  while their owners are away.  Pension Milou must be a very wonderful place... for dogs and friends as well.

Pepper Place Dogs - Guaranteed........

to make you laugh out loud!  Is there a canine orthodontist in the house???

Woofing It Up at the MCAC

These two art critics were admiring the work of Birmingham's Liz Young at the Magic City Art Connection Sunday.  Liz specializes in pet photography and you must see her work here!

Man's Best Friend

I took this shot yesterday at Linn Park. This man and his best friend touched my heart. My dear Baxter looked just like this one, and I can promise you I loved him as much as this man does his beautiful friend. Don't worry, I gave this pup a scratch behind the ears and told him what a good boy he was! As a photographer , it is a privilege to capture some special moments with my camera. This is one of those times for me.

The Courtship

The Meeting

The Nuzzle

The "Kiss"

Pardon!!! I know I posted dog photos yesterday, but I can't help my hopeless romantic self today. I just couldn't wait to post these photos from yesterday's Pepper Place Market. I've already told you that everyone in Birmingham brings their dogs to this Saturday event. Well, when I reviewed my photos, these two just seemed to play out a delightful scenario. Ain't love grand!
