My friend, Katie, snapped this photo of C and Cooper the Blue Great Dane of My Dreams at last night’s Yappy Hour; mostly for photographic evidence of the significant size difference of their craniums. If there was a competition for giantest of heads, Coop would take the trophy and all the glory. Doak — who is completely oblivious to his own large stature — typically prefers the company of little four-legged friends; he likes his weenies tiny,…
Brace yourselves, I’ve figured out how to make animated gifs in Photoshop. As if I needed any more motivation to cover this blog in photos of Doak. ETA: Here’s a helpful tutorial if you want to make some gifs yourself! It covers several versions of Photoshop.
Some Doodle has an appointment at the salon tomorrow. We always like to snap a photo or two of him in all his shaggy glory for posterity before the annual summer shave-down. Come Wednesday, he’ll look like a new man. I’ve been on the fence about this tied shirt business for a while, but now I’m kind of almost on board.

I proceeded to fill a memory card with snaps of him and the Doodle, and developed a mild case of puppy fever over the course of the afternoon. Those tiny paws get me…
… to our big move! We have just about a week left in our current shop. {Can someone puhlease tell me where June went?!} They’re moving our walk-in flower cooler next Saturday afternoon, which is the last major piece of the transition. We’ll spend the next seven days packing boxes, moving a few more pieces of furniture, and organizing the new space. Oh, and maintaining our regular hours and trying to keep things business-as-usual so…
