Dwight

I painted this yellow lab for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas this year.  They have an adorable lab named Dwight and are expecting a baby this spring, so I kept the design simple and playful.  

We heart dogs in my family.

Elephants!

In Chiang Mai, Thailand there is a multi-acre elephant sanctuary.  We spent the day helping feed and bath the elephants.  Even the dogs loved a splash in the river.  Did you know mud works as sunscreen for their leathery skin?  Right after we cleaned them, they immediately rolled in a mud pit.  (You can see a muddy elephant -with the mud pit in the background -in picture one)

Chiang Mai dogs

When we were in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we visited an Elephant Nature Park.  The park cares for 35 elephants but is also home to over 60 dogs, originally found on the streets of Bangkok.  The dogs were LOVING life.  They swam in the river, relaxed on the patio, and my favorite - found cool places to lay inside the souvenir shop.  I love dogs. so. much.

Holy puppies

I came across this post from Trendland which displayed Tim Flach's photography series 'Dogs Gods.' The pictures brought a smile to my face.....when do dogs NOT bring a smile to someone's face? I mean, my face is smiling now, what about your face?

This last doggie looks kinda sad though.....I'm sure he's only focusing on a slice of pepperoni near his feet.
