As the weather gets cooler, I have a feeling I will be posting more images of dogs than humans, simply because dogs have built-in fur coats and their noses don’t turn red! But Sailor sure looks good in red. I love that bandana, and I LOVE that one ear that sticks up like a sail in the salty wind. He loves to play on Island View Beach almost every day… especially when other furry familiar friends pass by. But this day, his nose was working overtime… something must have been in the water, because he kept looking out to sea, and stepping close to the water as though he was sensing something out there. Can you imagine what it must be like to have such an acute sense of smell? Think of all the scents that send a dog into his own distracted oblivion while on a simple walk, and how hard it is to pull them away from whatever it is they are transfixed upon… it must be overwhelming. I wonder what his nose was telling him this day? Actually… I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to know. What I do know is, Sailor is an exceptionally beautiful dog. And I’m so glad I had the chance to capture him at play on the beach this mild grey day. He is the latest dog in my “You’ve Been Spotted” series… who will I stumble upon next?
