I know there are a lot of doggie people out there - how about this one whom we met in the delightful small Western NC town of Waynesville. The owner, sitting on a bench eating his lunch, said the doggies, four rescued Huskies, wouldn't allow him to eat in the vehicle! Their leashes were attached to bolts in the floor and they were being so patient - not a bark or growl. He ran them every day in Maggie Valley - a must for sled dogs. Notice his license plate!
This bronze fox wasn't going anywhere either - thought it a beautiful piece of sculpture and of course have an affinity for these animals ever since watching the family living in our garden last Spring (see my pics in post of 3/16/07). We have seen one adult this Spring - think it's either the same Mom from last year or perhaps one of the four now grown juveniles who is hanging about the wooded area across from us. It actually walked across our back deck one evening last week - that was a surprise.
In another delightful mountain town, Hendersonville, the current friendly painted and decorated animals on Main Street are bears - last time we visited there were horses. These were two of my favorites - the botanical theme, and a traveling bear preparing to see the world.

What a nice man he must be to have rescued four huskies, they are lovely dogs - and his licence plate is great:)
ReplyDeleteWe lived for years in Franklin, NC. near Waynesville. Our first granddaughter was born in Waynesville. Waynesville has a super library, which we used more than the one in our even-smaller town. We loved picnicing out at Lake Junaluska too. You're bringing back lots of wonderful memories for me. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe are going soon to Hendersonville. It is the thrift store mecca. My friend and I adore shopping over there. xoxo
