Dogs in art - Jen Delos Reyes

Lost Dogs
The Kitchen, NY
2006
by Jen Delos Reyes

The "Lost Dog" posters were about a friend who had to evacuate from Lebanon but couldn't find an embassy that would allow her to take her dog. Posters were posted around the Chelsea neighborhood in NY that would be read by dog lovers/owners who then would be informed about an aspect of the current situation in Lebanon that they could relate to personally, emotionally.

Photos in the park, pet portraits

We were in the park the other day and ran into someone with a cute dog and a digital camera. She was taking pictures like crazy and started taking pictures of Oreo. Turns out photographer Jessica Dunkley has a way with dogs, as you can see from this very small sample of her work below.



More of Jessica's photos can be seen here. We so often don't take pictures of our pups, or have pictures of ourselves with our 'best friends.' If you'd like some great pics of you and your pooch, you can reach Jessica here.

Dog stories, fables, mythology

Dogs are mentioned during the Exodus that when the Jews left Egypt, the Torah tells us that not even one dog barked (Exodus 11:7) whereas the frogs of plague invaded even the ovens where they died. So are not frogs more worthy than dogs, having given up their lives?

Apparently not, for, accoring to this writer, it is easier to give up your life than it is to keep your mouth shut!

There are so many other truisms related to dogs.

Toronto storm Mar. 2 2007 dog walking

Walking your dog is not going to be easy today. People are being asked to stay indoors, city-wide, due to downed power lines. Some streets in our neighbourhood, Queen W., are blocked while hydro crews work. I heard from a neighbour that there are telephone poles on fire in north Toronto.

Wear boots, there are great pools of water everywhere, watch for downed lines and if you see one, go the other way, with the all the water around you can get electrocuted! Don't stay out long, you won't want to anyway.

Our place is almost sound completely sound proof so we didn't hear the storm at all, but I sympathize with anyone whose dog was upset during the storm: about storm phobic dogs
