Comments for My Favorite Quotations About Dogs

  1. I collect quotes, many of these I have heard of but with the accompanying photos that you have, you made them even MORE perfect!

    I like the one about training the human to become part dog…I have been fairly successful at that as she can spot wabbits and squirrels before I do now and sometimes she even chases them out of the yard…she says to get me to be quiet but I think she likes the thrill of the chase! There are so many great quotes out there, mom and I just love finding them!

  3. I love your list and the photos!

    I have my own running list of dog quotes and I’ve been trying to post them on my blog calling it Random Quote Saturday.

  4. Sage says:

    I don’t have a list, but maybe we should. I did love the pictures paired with the quotes…perfect!!

  5. Seeing you together makes me smile! (I am now wondering about cat quotes… probably not many, I’m guessing : )

  6. onebluedog says:

    Oh, I love those quotes! And that last picture of you and Eko is so cute 🙂

    Mom has always loved another one from Charles Schultz, “A boy without a dog is like a day without sunshine.”

  7. Zena says:

    Love these. Particularly love the one about the factory LOL!

  8. Misaki says:

    Love your photos:-)

    This is on my dog Dottie’s plaque out in the garden. Love you & miss you Dottie.
