My, oh my, we’ve had some wonderful days! The weather has been undeniably gorgeous over the last few weeks in Chicago. It always amazes me; the instant it turns warm outside, people and dogs seem to just appear. I can’t help but think, “Where are all of you during the cold months?”
If you know me at all, you know I’m a lover and defender of animals. They warm my heart on the toughest days; I can’t imagine life without them. So, this week I thought it would be fun to wander around and find dogs to photograph. It definitely wasn’t a challenge, there are adorable furry faces everywhere you look. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did (albeit with a little less wet noses and drool).

Riley is a rockin' awesome bulldog! He hangs out with his dad when he works at the Paw Naturals store.

Hmmmmm...I wonder what it's like to be a cat...

Play ball!

"Sheeesh, I wish I'd brought my sunglasses," thinks Izzy the Maltese-Poodle.

As a Jack Russell Terrier, Fiona is all about exploring and investigating what's around her

Tony: Truly a cool Poodle who loves to socialize with dogs his size

Toffee is a spunky Yorkie determined to run with the best of 'em.

Playtime is our favorite part of the day...

Saying hello canine style...

Love the pictures of the dogs but guess which one was my favorite! Izzy of course!
Thanks Nancy! And no, I’m not surprised re: Izzy! 🙂
It was a gorgeous, warm, sunny day and the “small dog convention” convened at the dog park. Sonya captured all the wonderful personalities of the little pups and the big guys as well. Fun day with fun pups!
It was indeed a gorgeous day. I’m so glad Tony got to come out and play with us!
Sonya, That first picture of Riley is so amazing it brought me to tears. You are an awesome photographer! Thank You for including Riley.
Thanks Terry! I’ll get you copies in the next day or so. Let’s book a fun photo shoot outdoors sometime soon!
All these gorgeous pictures make me wish I had a dog!!
They’re great companions Cathy! I’ll bet Ashley Cat would be cool having a canine friend. You know I’m a PAWS volunteer…Anytime you and Joe decide to get one I’ll be happy to go with you! 🙂
