• Watch the Dirt Fly by charla marchison, (charla)

• A Dog's Laugh by Danny the dog, (jtpix)

• A Visit to the Pet Store by acdscout
• If you're not in the US, you may not be aware that nowadays, the big pet stores let you bring your dog in with you if it's on a leash. It's a nice idea, and most dogs I ever see at these stores are quiet, well-behaved and self-contained. The m...
