I felt this theme should be represented.
Nice with all the Cats, but the true shoelover is a puppy.
The dogs are out with my wife tonight so i cannot do better then this snapshot from my balcony the other day.
There is an odd effect w this image, especially the thumbnail- depending how I look I can see a demonic, earless dog looking at the camera... of course the 'eyes' are play of light on tip of the ear and eyebrow.
