Did you know that it's National Dog Week? Yeah, I didn't know til this morning. Sorry Bosco, Ellsie & Oscar. Guess we should have been showering you all with endless amounts of love and attention. Oh, wait. We pretty much do that on a daily basis (we need a kid, like now.)
It's no secret that Luke and I love dogs. We are dog people. We've both been around dogs our entire lives and feel that no home is truly complete without a canine companion (or 3.) A dog is there for you no matter what. Always overly excited to greet you when you get home. Happy to accompany you on a walk, hike or run. An audience for your amazing singing voice. An ear to listen and belly to rub when you are having a hard day. A comedian to get you to crack a smile. An eager taste tester in the kitchen. Great defender of the homestead. A snuggle buddy on a cold day. Content to just "be." They don't judge you when you look a mess or when you put on a few pounds. They seem to sense and understand things on a level humans never will. A dog is unconditional love.
So, to celebrate National Dog Week I've decided to share some of my favorite pictures of our dogs from over the years. Enjoy.
I really could have gone overboard with this but I stopped myself. We probably have a few hundred photos of the dogs but I don't want to seem like a crazy crazier person. I hope you have a fine four legged friend to spend some time with and celebrate this special week. If not, consider going to your local animal shelter and adopting one. There are so many waiting for good homes. All 3 of ours are rescues and we couldn't ask for better companions. Happy National Dog Week!

I now live in a building that allows dogs, and while I'll never have one while apartment living, I do love my elevator & lobby encounters. I met and learned of a Portuguese Podengo today at lunch. He leaned firmly against my leg, while I showed him some love, as the lady on the end of the leash described his breed. I'm more of a cat person, but I love dogs just as much!
