Oshie loves the wind in his face. We love it too because it makes for some funny pictures.
This past weekend Nancy and I went to Wilmington with my younger brother and his roommate. Unfortunately we didn’t bring Oshie. We were going mostly for dinner but did walk around a bit afterwards and he would have loved it. Wilmington is a very dog friendly city. Everywhere you look there are bowls of water set out and many restaurants allow your dog to join you. Some even have treats and water for your furry friend to snack on while you dine on people food.
Here are some of the shots I took while we were there. It is a wonderful city to photograph and I need to make it back down there soon solely to take pictures. One of my favorite shots is of the American Bulldog wearing his Ray-Ban Sunglasses. He is there all the time with his owner sitting out in front of one of the bars. Enjoy the pictures and if you are ever in Eastern Carolina with your fur baby I suggest checking Wilmington out.
Here is a poem from the book I Could Chew On This And Other Poems By Dogs. Thank god Oshie doesn’t do any of this.
“The plants are torn
The garbage strewn
The wires chewed
The couch and I had a fight
Your bed is soaked
Your liquor spilled
Your TV smashed
Your laptop no longer has any vowels
There’s a smartphone in the toaster
There’s a toaster in the toilet
There’s a toilet in the hallway
There’s underwear in my mouth
I went places I should never go
I saw a side of myself I should never see
I said things to the cat I can never take back
So please don’t ever leave again”
– Francesco Marciuliano
Work is done, grass is mowed and Oshie has gone for a walk around the neighborhood. I leave you with a shot of the sun setting over Oshie’s stomping grounds. Have a good Friday evening! The weekend is here!

As avid hockey fans Nancy and I can’t wait until the season starts. The official start of the 2015-2016 season is Oct 7 but pre-season games begin in just 3 short weeks. Naturally being named after a hockey player…Oshie also loves the sport. He can’t wait for the season to start and being forced into wearing team T-Shirts/Jersey (Bruins for me Kings for Nancy) and hockey gear! Anyone else as excited as Oshie for hockey season to begin?
