Dog of the Week #6

Some “down-time” at the City of Woodinville’s Annual Basset Bash. She needs her beauty sleep. Really bad. Competition categories included “Longest Ears” (11 inches!) and “Best Howl”. One of the competitors brought a tape recording of a fire engine’s siren for the latter. It worked like a charm.

More Basset Bash pictures are here.

Dog of the Week #5

There’s something about the pocket-pets. This one was held by a Veterans For Peace member at the initial press conference announcing that Lt. Ehren Watada was intending to disobey an order to deploy to Iraq with his brigade. After the initial flurry of press coverage I haven’t heard much about him lately. My other pictures of the press conference are here.

This little gal was hanging out in the beautiful tourist town of Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast.
