There are lots of things I love in this life. Photography (obviously!), good food, great friends, handwritten notes, dancing, traveling, eating unhealthy snacks at 1:00 in the morning, etc.

But sometimes I think that all these loves that I have in my life are eclipsed by the singular love for my beautiful dogs.

It really doesn’t make any sense. My Lizzie, a gorgeous 2 year old Korean Jindo spends most of her day chewing up phone cords and paperback books and when she’s not wrecking havoc she just sleeps. And sleeps. And sleeps some more. But I can’t help it! I love that lazy, chew-happy dog to pieces. And my male Jindo, Charles has learned to vertically scale walls and climb trees like a cat and in this way, regularly escapes from the back yard to go roaming around the neighborhood. Many hours have been spent with me tearing through the streets of Suburbia, leash in hand as I try and corner Charlie as he runs through the neighbor’s front lawns. But again, I can’t help but love the crazy dog. What can I say, the cuteness just melts my heart.

So here’s to my beautiful babies. If nothing else, they sure make my life more interesting.
