♥ this dog's life.

i was taking this picture of my darling family dog, charleston chu,

the other day and i thought to myself how very regal he looked.

almost like a great poet looking up from his desk with quill in paw,

or maybe a great president looking out onto a limitless historical horizon?

(my bestfriend's family really does call her dog, "mr president." love!)

so, when i saw this fantastic new website, dorian greyhound & co.,

which actually offers custom portraits of your pet in a more

rustic and paintlerly setting than, say, your own backyard,

i knew i was not alone in my romanticizerd version of my regal beagle.

love it!
