Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last night my hubby came home with the sweetest Valentine’s Day presents: a bottle of bubbly, and a small plush Snoopy with heart-shaped sunglasses, holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

I’m not particularly attached to the Peanuts cartoon, but I do have a soft spot for beagles. (You know Snoopy is a Beagle, right?)

Anyhow, I grew up with a Beagle. His name was Jon Loc Picard. Seriously, the coolest, best dog ever. Or as my mom says: “he was the best of dogs, he was the worst of dogs.” He was super smart. Sometimes too smart for his own good.

This is probably my favorite photo I ever took of Jon Luc. I captured it in 1996 with whatever 35mm camera I had at the time. We were out at the Oceano Dunes in my dad’s pickup. That dog LOVED a ride in the car and the beach even more!

Anyhow, you can see why my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift was so sweet. I’m a lucky girl ;-)

Have a Very Happy Valentine’s day!
