I love these dog threads. I would say a third of the photos that I take are of my dogs.
Here is my 2 year old terrier mix. The Black dog is a 3 year old corgie mix
Here are some pics that I just took. It was nice to see snow for the first time this winter. Got some pictures of my lab (as you can see she just wont sit still)
Its a dogs natural instinct to be sleeping in something that has a "roof" over its head. Many dogs will naturaly sleep in places with such a roof and mine prefers to sleep in a create even though I leave it open all day and she will go into the create by herself and sleep there.
I am figuring they are getting along great from the picture. Regarding the article: there will be more research done later on proving many people wrong about dogs and their lack of "thinking"
