This is hand held for 8 seconds. I thought the dogs did an excellent job of staying still. In this household, that's what we train them to do; pose for photos. Oh, the man did a good job too...
I took care of one of these dogs and loved him deeply so I feel a very close connection to them. These dogs at the Dolores Olmedo museum are special. They
are the ones left behind... the ancestors, the guardians. There are so few of them left. They are bored.
But. They are mystical beings. At night, they need, absolutely NEED to sleep close close close to you. They were used as bed warmers by the Mayans. Their temperatures are much warmer than other dogs. Amazing, amazing creatures.... When I was in Mexico shooting these photos, I found out later that my dog who was a xolo had died.
when we went to the pyramids outside of Mexico City, I could see how they lived there and I saw figurines of them everywhere.
have you ever felt like your dog was following you? that their spirit is with you all the time?
Even so he is not in my life anymore, it was an honor to have taken care of one of these incredible dogs, they are amazing. I am really lucky to have been able to love one of these dogs and been close to knowing them. He brought some very important teachings into my life that's for sure. I kind of knew that would happen when I got him.
3/31/14 Daily Dog Challenge "Half"
I know I already did this in reverse, but when I saw the daily dog challenge, I just had to repeat it :D
Just came back from a quick trip around some of Northern(ish) Italy and got lots of pictures of the pups who call Italy home. I will be slowly posting pics of them.
Dover Town Hall - 37 N. Sussex Street in Dover, New Jersey

In 1869, the mayor of Dover, England gave two dog statues to George Richards, Dover’s first mayor; the statues were placed at the entrance to the Richards estate. In 1989, they were donated to the town (the dog statues had went from George Richards to Thomas Baker to Baker’s granddaughter Barbara Dunn). Finally, in 1998, the statues were taken out of storage at Dover High School and placed at the entrance to town hall.
In December 2005, the Dover Dogs were vandalized.
In the following year, they were unveiled again in the same place, by James Dodd (Dover's Mayor), and Jan Tranter (Dover England's mayor).
"Hammock" by Shel Silverstein
Grandma sent the hammock,
The good Lord sent the breeze.
I'm here to do the swinging--
Now, who's gonna move the trees?
