(Day 54) To sleep, perchance to dream

It's been a long day, for humans and dogs. Here our Samoyed, Sasha, is in her favourite position - prone, on the cool ceramic floor, oblivious to the sounds and lights around her, as was evident by her snoring. That's a position I soon hope to be in, albeit not on the ceramic floor.

(Day 31) A girl's best friend

No matter where you are, no matter how you're feeling, whether you've had a good day or not ... you can always count on your four-legged friend to walk beside you and lend an attentive ear to whatever you say, without interrupting. After all, that's why they were put on this earth.

(Day 29) Backyard 'pet'

Hotels advertise all sorts of specials to attract business. We were looking for one that allowed pets, and found more than we bargained for. What wasn't advertised was the 'extra' special (not sure if this was advertised it would attract or repel business). I found this in a ditch right behind the hotel. I'm sure it was watching me as I angled closer and I managed to get a couple of shots before it suddenly turned and thrashed in a frenzy of water to get away.
