  3. What a condescending sight. The sculpture of Anna looks like a Queen.

  5. Boz looks so funny! You and Karin should market computer protectors - some kind of transparent cloth that absorbs coffee and tea and, in my case, wine.

  6. Sweet, Boz this is.
    The statue ain't bad either.

  8. Can I get a signature Boz paw print? He is mighty proud of himself!

  9. The statue is one of a pair, and they're both so lovely. I like Anna Hyatt Huntington's work. Google her. She's interesting.

    I like the "I Love Boz" t-shirt idea. Maybe I can finally make some money off this blog. Do you think this would be the shot? I have others.

    Or the signature paw print idea. Brenda, that's good. J has tried to teach Boz how to type, file, collate, etc. and none of it has worked. But we still might be able to market the boy.

  10. Petrea, as a dog owner I feel that Boz doesn't quite have the same dignity as the statue! Rolling on your back with your legs in the air ..................!

  11. I was spelling it maison d'ebtre. Does that bury the joke? It's partly visual, partly verbal.

  12. I agree, PIO. He also creates his own works regularly as little gifts for us.

    Hi Stuart: Boz eschews convention. He's a free thinker, when he thinks.

    Yes, J. I think you're right. I'll fix it.

  15. Boz is graceful in his own way. :)

  16. You ain't kiddin'. He gets in his own way a lot.

  17. You all are making me laugh. Boz is an endless source of amusement to me, I admit. I could do a Boz Daily Photo blog but you'd all get sick of it.

  18. I would LOVE a Boz Daily Photo Blog. But then again, I'm a crazy dog mama and love seeing pictures of people's doggies.

  20. Lol! Nice photographic comparison, Petrea! I have to say, while the stone dog does look very dignified, Boz looks happier...

  21. I think I need one of those coffee spewing computer covers...

  22. Good one!
    That Boz, he's so artsy!
