I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I know, I know. So. not. a chihuahua. I met this gorgeous boy today up in Edmonds down at the Marina. His name was Axl. How cute is this face?

roses

These roses were planted all over the marina — and they had *the* most delicious smell. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized I took a photograph of ‘Axl’ and ‘Roses’ and had to put these two together. ;)

the proverbial donut dog bed

Awhile back I posted this shot of Bear with a donut toy over her nose. The designer found the photo by keyword searching (lo the power of the flickr tag!), emailed me and asked if I would be willing to get Bear + Daisy to pose on a new product she was working on – she was turning the donut toy into a bed (!). It was still in production at the time we were writing, I wholeheartedly agreed and here we are, now trying to get two chihuahuas to pose on the bed. Of course, first the bed (as with everything — humans, food, toys) — has to pass the sniff test.

I’m no stranger to dog photography, I’ve even had an article I wrote on the subject published once upon a time. My pups have grown up in front of the camera, so that wasn’t the problem.

The problem, you ask?
. . . bear decided the bed was hers.

hua modeling, part ii (mine)

This is a real compliment to the bed designers, because my girls are uber-finicky and don’t take to things ‘just like that’. Not only is the design adorable, but the bed is made out of the softest faux fur I’ve ever felt. No wonder she loves it.

This month marks 12 years since I moved back here from L.A. — I absolutely love living here. This is the view from the Observation Deck (~750′) in the Tower I work in. I just love how tiny everything looks from way up here, even the Space Needle looks itsy bitsy. ;)

Wait, and thy heart shall speak.
Wait until the necessary and everlasting overpowers you,
until day and night avail themselves of your lips.
The only reward of virtue is virtue;
the only way to have a friend is to be one.
