Friday My Town Shoot Out - Smiling Faces

Today's theme is brought to us by the very talented Sarah from Idaho - a very favorite subject of mine: Smiles!


One of the treasures of my town: Baby Ben. I love this picture. I think my sweet, late Giacomino (Very Old Dog) is smiling a little bit in his sleep.



The bravest smile in the world - my big sister.



I miss these smiles. They used to brighten up Paducah Kentucky, now they brighten up southern California.

Carolyn (Easy's late mom) gave me a shirt that said "Official Dog Walker - CAUTION: FREQUENT STOPS", and I gave her the shirt with the three running whippets. This is a little cheaty becaouse my great friend Laurie from Minnesooooooota took this photo (not me) somewhere around 2004-ish. I love it.




Sam I Am is the smilingest dog I've owned since Uncle (Saint) Opie the lab.

hug your hounds and enjoy your leftovers!

    Such a passel of wonderful smiles, especially my favorite one--that of your sister. Annd those dogs.
    Ed and Reub, mostly Reub, would love a skunk and they'd be smilin' for days if they could lay hold of a real good dead one! But they'd be the only ones smiling.

    If those smiles don't brighten your day, nothing will.

    My day is certainly brighter now!

    We were thinking the same thing about Giacomino, before we even read the caption. And that beautiful picture of your sister gives us inspiration every time. This was a WONDERFUL post.

    Smiling through tail wags,
