Big and Little Buddies

It's a beautiful day for the last outdoor Glenwood Sunday Market of the season (The first indoor market will be held in the Glenwood Bar on Sunday, 8 November). Because my usually charming canine companion was not on her best behavior this morning, i went to the market without her, which made it a lot easier to stop and take a picture of these two best buddies. 

Perennial crowd-pleaser and past star of this blog, Ralphie, was there with his giant ears as well. Sorry i called you Louie, Ralphie; if it's any consolation, i'm even worse at remembering people's names.

Lest you think it is easy to get a good picture of two dogs,
here is what 80% of my pictures look like.

A Chorus Line of Cuties

These three mini-schnauzers were delighted that the rain finally stopped
and they could go out for a leisurely Saturday stroll. Nevertheless,
they graciously paused and posed so i could take their picture. 

There's a New Maisie in Town

Maisie,
a very sweet and affectionate Newfoundland pup.

I don't know how to break the news to my own little dog that she is not the only Maisie in Rogers Park, and she's definitely not the biggest.  This great big, cuddly Newfoundland pup stole my heart at the farmers market this morning. 

Two Little Stallones

It wasn't easy getting a good picture of these two little action heroes: Rocky and Rambo. I would have loved to have gotten a good picture of their faces, but they were too busy pursuing whatever mission they were on to sit still and smile for the camera. 

Ralphie!

This is Ralphie, a Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix, with a big personality (and a pretty impressive pair of ears). He's so cute that i couldn't choose which picture to post. So here are all three.

Bonjour, Hank!

Hank is a French Bulldog puppy and a very handsome fellow!

Daisy and Bear

Say hello to Daisy and Bear.
It's always a treat to run into these two little characters on our morning walk.
