I think the reason dogs have developed these nice, compact muzzles instead of big teeth is so they can Hoover the floor around the table at Thanksgiving dinner.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-86212615107965501602008-11-26T22:31:00.000-08:002008-11-26T22:31:00.000-08:00BK - It's the tar pits.

To me it looked like a museum diorama. <BR/><BR/>Not everyone bit. VonRiesling caught the fault in the photo that made me hesitate to post it: I missed the tip of Sprocket's nose!

If so, maybe turn the black dog around so he is facing the beautiful boxer? OR you need more distance - more space I should say - to the right of the black dog so they are both looking into the distance pondering the meaning of life - like where is the next bone coming from. I love it regardless.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-37971926526406769742008-11-26T07:50:00.001-08:002008-11-26T07:50:00.001-08:00Do men on horses go with dioramas, or am I thinkin...Do men on horses go with dioramas, or am I thinking of something else?Vandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467945696376519810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-81613587103500135902008-11-26T07:50:00.000-08:002008-11-26T07:50:00.000-08:00Tangent alert!

I just now remember a traumatic incident in grade school. Each kid had to make a shoebox diorama about i forget what, but I didn't even know where to start. <BR/>So cool that there is a class for such things, and that you are taking it.
