elf1 > Basset Hounds definitely have the cute Buy Hush Puppies Shoes look, like this tan and white one; he could sell several pairs of shoes right on the spot!

elf1 > I tried to capture how sweet and friendly and well-socialized this very cheerful brindle Boxer was, but no, he looks tough and jaded, doesn't he? Photos can lie!

elf1 > I wanted to show how different hiking feet are from agility feet. Huh...now I have to remember to take photos of agility feet sometime soon.

elf1 > Don't know what these little dried flowers were, but they were everywhere, and attractive in a stark, elegant way.

elf1 > And a look at our old friend, rhus diversiloba, in its summer drought colors. It's the plant's oils that cause the rash, and dogs walking through it can pick it up and then, later, when you pet them, you get the rash. It was everywhere.
