Dog in Barcelona

Perro in Barcelona

I don't know if it's me missing mine or just that there is something about just the connection I have with dogs in general, but I find in sorting through my travel photos that I take a lot of photos of dogs.

There were quite a few well loved skilos (dogs) in Santorini.  They played freely with each other and then lay willy nilly in the square for one of their many naps.

"Dogs invite us not only to share their joy but also to live in the moment, where we are neither proceeding from nor moving toward, where the enchantment of the past and future cannot distract us, where a freedom from practical desire and a cessation of our usual ceaseless actionallows us to recognize the truth of our existence, the reality of our world and purpose -- if we dare."  Dean Koontz, Brother Odd
