    What a fun post this is! Great idea. :) That giant puppy by Jeff Koons is amazing. And you've changed your header again :D.

    Yes, this was fun, and very beautifully laid out. It is surprising how much pets have been involved in art. Thank you. This was very pleasant.

    Thank you Sonia for introducing me to Edward Hopper!
    I haven't heard of him before but that first image caught my eye immediately.
    I followed your link and was amazed.
    I love "Gas" and I do recall seeing "Nighthawk" somewhere before.

    You might enjoy a visit to Carlene at Knitsquirrel today (http://www.knitsquirrel.blogspot.com/) - and follow her link to Peter Callesen - his framed works are amazing.

    adorei o seus post, muito original, adoro cães. Gostei da sua biblioteca, o Timbuktu, do Paul Auster, é um dos meus preferidos, e para quem gosta de animais, o de virgini Woolf, tb é imperdível.

    I really really enjoyed looking at these pictures. I love Woman with dog... I wonder who the letter is from. And that giant puppy, WOW! He's gorgeous. A coincidence, as I blogged about my son's puppy 2 posts ago, and in my current post there is a picture of a cat!

    Thank you for sharing your favorites!
    I hadn't seen the Puppy by Jeff Koons before (I loved his shiny metallic magenta Balloon Dog in front of Palazzo Grassi in Venice). Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" is one of my favorite paintings. I'd love to run back to Chicago, and stand in front of it again!

    The shiny magenta Koon sculpture in front of Palazzo Grassi is a poodle, of course. :-)
