    Toby must have been some dog! I’d like to think that our dog Lucy would do what she could to save us in an emergency.

    Great photo! Happy LT.

    Thanks for the post. I’m a sucker for a dog picture. I have 2 boys (dogs), Phil and Spunky, and they are my kids.

    That’s a great story you linked to. And the picture is so sweet!

    By the way, I see you’re reading “The Secret History of the Pink Carnation”, is it good? I’ve almost bought it a couple times. I’m always on the hunt for a good book.

    That sun, that lovely, lovely sun.

    Although I am not a huge dog fan (don’t read my dog story from Wednesday, please) I can still appreciate the love between dog and human. It is lovely.
