The French Love of Dogs

**My sweet friend Princess Freckles gave me some information about this photo.  It was taken by Avedon and these photos are on tour in the U.S.  I'm hoping they will come to California because they would so devine to see up close

I've discoverd a wonderful blog in my online wanderings, French Sampler.  I love the French culture and Ms. Dash takes her readers on her adventures with her in the most charming way. 

I've fallen in love with one of the photos* she posted:

As a child, I longed for an Afghan Hound!  I had intended to groom her hair like Barbie: clips, barrettes, food coloring to make some pink strands; sigh, how how lovely she would have been.  Perhaps that's the reason my parents said NO, and instead I had a fiesty little silky terrier who tore a chunk out of my nose!  {I still have the little scar; I really believe the immediate action for medical care was key here!}
