The Blog

national dog day!

The Bark, one of the best magazines for dog lovers, announced on Twitter earlier this week that today, Thursday August 26th, is National Dog Day!  I knew when I read it that I had to 1.) do something super special for Orvis and 2.) post something dog-related on the  blog in honor of the occasion.  To celebrate with Orvis, I’m planning on taking him for a hike on our favorite trail in Cape Elizabeth this afternoon, and to celebrate on the blog, I decided to make the short little video below.

At this past weekend’s wedding, the couple had one of their cousins read the most darling poem I’ve ever heard at a wedding, “Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog” by Taylor Mali.  Of course, I fell in love with it, and thought it might be fun to interlace the words of the poem with a few of my images.  The song is one of my favorite Dan in Real Life scores by Sondre Lerche.

    LOVE THIS! I’m going to go grab Bolo so she can watch!

  • Becky thinks:

    Love that poem! I ran across it when we were wedding planning and used it in our programs along with a picture of the three of us. So perfect. Happy National Dog Day to Orvis!
