Lily with Summer
Lily was somewhere between 5 and 6 months old when I
took this shot on June 29th, 2008. That was the day that my daughter
Summer and I adopted her. Lily and I go to the
the rec center park, somtimes twice a day. Lily has given our
family lots of joy and love. We all gather together more because
of Lily. I love meeting people and their dogs and finding out
about what they do. If
you see me at the park, ask me to photograph you and your dog.
I started painting dogs when I was recovering from chronic pain.
I didn't have a dog then but there was something so soothing
and inspiring about looking into a dogs eyes as I met them while
walking around the neighborhood. I look at Lily while she stares
at me and go again to a peacful place inside.

Tim and Rico
Tim brings Rico to the Potrero Rec Center Park to practice
agility. Rico is two and a half years old and is a master at
weaving. Tim says "weave" and Rico quickly weaves
in and out of the poles. He is immediately rewarded with a
flying ball to chase.
Then he is ready to go several more rounds until training
is over and replaced with play time. |

Robin and Bobo
These two live in dogpatch. When Robin feels she needs some
exercise herself, she walks Bobo over to the Potrero Hill
Rec Center Park, otherwise they can be seen down at Esprit
Park. On this hot day everyone was under the shade and enjoying
a drink and treats.
