Thinking about that last pic, it's funny how your hounds can dramatically change in their looks from pup to adult, yet still - underneath it all - look like the same dog.

Every afternoon around sunset, I sit down with a bourbon and contemplate the thoughts in my head I gathered during the day. And every afternoon I look to my left and see this beautiful clown doing this (He's a Catahoula leopard dog/ Kelpie cross for anyone wondering why he looks slightly unusual)
