The Many Faces of Huli (and other canine friends)

Just over a week ago, I attended an open house at our little Crofton Old School Museum.  Two friends of mine, Liz and Robyn, were doing book signings there for recent releases of Chicken Soup books that contain their stories.  The proceeds, along with that of a silent auction, went to support the museum.  I took photos of the event (which can be viewed on my facebook page), but as so often happens when I attend dog-friendly activities, I took more photos of the dogs than of the people.

There was PJ, a handsome, friendly dude whose tail never stops wagging and whose ears can go every which way, but mostly stand straight up:

There was Sophie, a sweet little girl whose ears always hang low, framing her face like a well-coiffed hairdo:

And then there was Huli.  Huli lives with my friend Mary, who also happens to be my neighbour across the street.  And since I told Mary I'd have the photos up "in a day or two" nine days ago, and I'm counting on her to feed my dogs tomorrow while I drive down to Victoria for an appointment, I figure I better not procrastinate any further on blogging about one of the best, funniest, cutest, craziest, friendliest, happiest dogs in town.  Huli makes me smile every time I see her. She is 100% wiggle butt. But she doesn't much like a camera in front of my face.

Oh doG, it's the CAMERA LADY!
