Dog Days of Winter


Saturday was "Dog Day" at the Desert Botanical Garden and I joined my friend Glenda and her dog for a stroll around the park among a very large number of furry friends.  This family group was taking a break in a quiet place to rest.


This was the first time I had attended this event and I loved every minute of it.  All these cute creatures taking their people for a walk was a treat to see.  The English Bulldog in the upper right corner was wearing his Arizona State University Sun Devil's jacket.

I love the bloodshot eyes on the dog in the upper right and the freckled face of the one in the lower left.   And, the Boston Terrier stuck out his tongue for his photo op.  That's just like a little kid!

There were Great Danes mingling with much smaller dogs and a very handsome Boxer who posed beautifully for his photo.  And, down there in the lower left is Stella, Glenda's dog.  She insisted on carrying her frisbee with her on the walk.  I'll have to watch for this event next year.  It was certainly a lot of fun.

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  Check out the heart of the city of Florence Italy.
