Long drive way up river.
Coco had a great time, and she’s getting pretty good at the famous “pit bull grin.”
Coco slept through the long drive back; this is how the road looked at sunset….
MORE: Oh what the hell! Here’s Coco’s real time reaction to this post, as I sit here feeding up the pictures.
(Precisely what I should be doing.)

I just got home from a wedding last night when I saw these pictures. I didn’t write any comments then because I, too, just felt like “crashing”, as they say. As to the other picture of Coco, I must say I’ve never seen a dog smile like that except in a cartoon. What a joyous dog! That sunset is sublime, beautiful colors (blue, magenta, yellow — the subtractive primaries!). And that river is idyllic. Once again, I have to say, you are an excellent photographer.
There’s nothing like a happy dog. 🙂
BTW, don’t know if you saw the story, but last night ABC news had a report on an underground railroad for pitbulls escaping Denver. You may want to check out the ABC news site to see if you can find it.
They aired footage of pitbulls playing and romping together without friction. So that is not an urban myth. 🙂
Your photos of your happy dog cheered me a great deal. I lost my schnauzer a few years back. As I work long hours anymore, I can’t justify leaving an animal home alone for such a long time each day.
The idiot media are responsible for the bad rep. of pit bulls. The only scary one I ever encountered back in my cable TV days, reflected the personality of its owner.
Enjoy your loyal companion.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m still getting over the loss of Puff, and I’m happy to see Coco making friends!
(Thanks for the underground railroad tip; I’ll look for the story.)

A little follow up here.
Look for stories on social cues and dogs. Seems that canines are better at interacting with humans on a non-verbal level than chimpanzees. The same holds true for the domestic fox. Nothing about cats on the other hand, though breeds such as the Maine Coon seem to have the knack.
