While our kids were growing like most families we had dogs and cats. All were memorable but each of us has stories to tell about a particular pet. For us it was Brandon, retriever/yellow lab mix. I don't think any other creature on earth exhibited the energy and exuberance this dog had for living life! Brandon was a challenge each and every day, we never new what exciting thing Brandon might do! Today one might call Brandon the ADD of dogs!

Recently, with the passing of a friends dog whom we knew well I found myself reflecting on ours and others extended four legged family members. These new works pay tribute to man's best friend.

Especially missed are Brandon and Daisy. To Jake and Elliot who are still with us and good four legged friends everywhere...please don't take my shoes!
