Dogs often make the best photo subjects. Unlike humans, they are not as self conscious about having their photo snapped and hardly aware of the photographer.
Here's a few canine captures from my photo files.
This first pooch was spotted in a nearby park last fall wearing some foolish garb. Certainly, this clothing choice was not the dog's, but its human owner, which made me wonder, why?
This doggie in the (car) window was patiently awaiting the return of his owner(s) who had stopped at the same place we did for an ice cream treat. We left before seeing if they returned with a doggie treat. He or she was the sweetest-looking canine and not a bark was heard.
A dog's life wasn't too hard for this canine who seemed to be enjoying an open air drive with his owner on a warm afternoon. Who wouldn't like riding around in a convertible?
One of the most familiar dog songs, if not the most popular, was the 1953 hit (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window is a novelty song written by Bob Merrill (who also co-wrote If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake). The best-known version of the song was the original done Patti Page in December 1952 and released in January 1953 on Mercury Records. It was No. 1 on the Billboard charts staying there for 8 weeks and selling over 2 million copies and the third best-selling record that year. Mercury Records was besieged with requests for free puppies, and the American Kennel Club's annual registrations saw an increase.
In 2009, Page recorded a new version titled Do You See That Doggie in the Shelter to stress adoption of homeless animals from shelters. The Humane Society of the United States was given exclusive rights to the song. Upon Page's 2013 death, the Society wrote in its online eulogy, We remember her fondly for her compassion for animals.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone

a dog with purple pants! 💜😀
Pooches are great subjects for sure. Nice captures!
since dogs are my favorite persons, you know i love this post. I love the nose in the air from the one in convertible
Good photos! I wish we could catch some of the rain.
Dogs are fun subjects to photograph.
Adorable captures, Dorothy.
Doggone funny.
I hope you have a doggone good weekend.
The dogs out for a ride look happy.
Love them all, but especially the nose in the air..pure delight.

Animal photos are fun to look at. The puppy in purple is my kind of pooch.
I always crack up when I see a dog in the driver’s seat while the owner is elsewhere.
Number 1 demeaning and disgusting; number 2 adorable; number 3 enjoying life.
I prefer to believe that dog had an ice cream.
Bringing a dog to an ice cream stand and failing to buy the dog an ice cream should be illegal. It is a cruel thing to not buy a dog a nice vanilla ice cream.
Oh, my dear! How I would LOVE a rainy day or night!! It is still so hot it drains the life out of me.
I do so hope you and Grenville will one day visit us here in Texas - but please know that summer is NOT the season!!!
Dogs in outfits usually bring a smile.
They are such company. :)
Lovely captures of dogs peeping out of car windows to see the world go by! I adore these sights. Dogs enjoy starring out of the window as we humans do. It's interesting outside.
We always say, "Hello, puppy!" to all the doggies we see when we're out on our walks. They're such cuties!
I agree, dogs make fantastic models. I think my dog would be mortified being caught wearing purple pants!
Hi Beatrice, Love the dressed up dog in the first photo! As for the happy dog in the second picture, both labs and golden retrievers have that great friendly smile, almost always matched by a great temperament. We got our dog fix last night at a neighbor's house...with their black lab "Shrek" being the latest addition. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Hi, to answer your question from my blog.. We sell both from our own personal property and those things we have acquired from other sales.
When both sets of parents passed away we "inherited" their treasures. Some are sentimental which we will keep but others are real dust collectors and need to get out of our storage..(our children will be forever grateful) haha

That is such a super sweet dog face!
I've now got the Lennon Sisters singing how much is that doggie in the window stuck in my head, lol. The purple outfit should win a prize.

Unlike the dog, I've never ridden in a convertible. It must be quite exhilarating.
the labrador melts your heart
Always love a fun doggy photo. Hope you’re having a great weekend. B x
Great photos. And what a lovely story about Patti Page!
So cute!
