I’ll be back to politics, tyranny, freedom, snitchery, and Other Serious Stuff tomorrow.
But today a couple members of the local rescue group were here. One is an excellent photographer who took photos of the foster boy I wrote about yesterday (who happens to be stuck with the unfortunate, but all-too-apt, name Marley). She also took the best pix ever of my pack. So here are some Sunday smiles.
Here’s foster boy Marley being loved on by a stranger:
And the Wolfe Pack:
Here’s handsome Robbie-Bob, who’s just turning 11. That’s Her Royal Highness Princess Ava Prettypaws in an unaccustomed spot — in the background. In reality, Ava is in the background about as often as a Kardashian is in the background:
Finally there’s Nadja, who always manages to look intelligent, sincere, and noble despite being a total psycho (and oh no, Ava’s in the background again; she’d be horrified if she realized she wasn’t center stage at all times):
The photographer also brought tags she made for the dogs that say, “If you can read this I will lick you.” So true of Robbie. Also of Ava. Nadja, on the other hand will simply gaze into your eyes as if all the secrets of the universe are passing between you.
Great photos! Lovely dogs!
Dogs rock.
That is a great wolfe pack. Marley could pass for my Honi except Honie is blonde. The white chest is almost identical.
Nice family you have there. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous photos! Thanks for sharing.
Great Pics! If you remember my little bulldog puppy who I caught trying to drink my beer, (https://twitter.com/#!/BoozeTalking/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2F71ZFX99Y) well here he is now:

51lbs. on pure oneryness, a few weeks ago he chewed the natural gas line in half that went to my back up generator… luckily it didn’t blow up my house.
That’s got to be the best group dog portrait I’ve ever seen.
I still kinda miss your motley crue. Not, you know, a LOT, but…
And Nadja isn’t a total psycho. Almost. Very close. But not total. She comes from a broken home, you know.
Great photos. Marley looks very much like my Pearly Mae, Lab/Pit/Greyhound mix. She was the smartest most loving dog who ever shared her life with me. She died of cancer at three and a half. There is never a day that passes without me thinking of her. I hope Marley finds a loving home with someone other than a narc.
Your pack looks like a great bunch. Good on you.
Nadja is gorgeous!!!
Good looking kids Claire!
The Wolfe Pack needs moar corgi…. 😉
Beautiful, just beautiful…
Aww, Claire, your kids are beautiful…..I see wisdom, serenity, and a peacefulness in (all of) their eyes…I think the psycho moments are just to confuse the humans otherwise….
At least now you have awesome pix to look at next time they get in massive trouble, hehehe…..
Here’s a portrait my wife and I had done for our dogs.

From left to right. Leatherface, Ewok, Triumph.
It was done by Sarah Thornton and she is awesome.
Here’s her website. http://lintuart.com/1/
Hope the advertisement is okay Claire. This woman is a great modern artist.
No problem on the “advertisement,” Travis. 🙂 That’s interesting art — and how cool that you have an original of all three of your dogs.
