i just heard the heartbreaking news that one of the beloved dogs of my friend, fellow dog photographer and colleague has passed away.

well, little mister Archie has been making the rounds of the dog beds in the house. Tichka’s upstairs bed is the last undiscovered territory. i have a feeling that it might be the one that is “just right.” in the meantime, enjoy this little strip about him getting comfortable in LD’s bed.

Very, very cute! Perhaps there’s a comic book series in your future?
Adorable beyond words! 
Definitely my “happy” for the day!
Killed myself laughing!!!!! Isn’t it funny how you just KNOW what they are thinking. Obviously Archie is under the assumption that he is totally in charge of the household.
i spent some time with my little pal punkie a few weeks ago. isn’t she adorable?! and what a supermodel! and i can’t forget the lovely stella, who also wanted her photo taken.

Diana - How lucky Kelly is to have your wonderful photos to remember her precious Ocho. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Tess Goodman - These are extraordinary photographs of my friend, Kelly, and her “family”. Ocho and Jazz have been her world and it pains me greatly that my friend has to grieve the loss of this gentle, sweet soul who made her life better in so many ways. Thanks for posting these photographs. They’re a wonderful tribute to Ocho and a beautiful tribute to the many benefits of pet ownership in general.
Pam - I’m so sorry. Rest in peace, Ocho. I’m so glad you got to know true love while on this earth.
