While driving to Houston from Floresville, TX I take the back roads to get to Highway 10 normally I take Hwy 97 to Hwy 80 and then pickup Hwy 10 in Luling.  On that drive there are sometimes dogs on the side of the road and some birds or other critters worthy of stopping to photograph.  So here are a few.

While I have been out of work I took some time to work on a couple websites that I have neglected.  

http://musthavepets.com is a website for pet owners. It has some social features and allows visitors to post information about their pets and to help others who are seeking guidance or just an opportunity to chat about their pets.

http://molosserdogs.com is the permier website for the grouping of dogs known as the molossers. They are typically the large mastiff and Mountain type.  This is a very active site so feel free to join in the activities.
