What do Black-Eyed Susans and Dogs have in common? Probably nothing. But I took these pictures a few days ago and thought they were pretty neat. So I figured I might as well do something with them rather than just filing them away and forgetting about them.

The Black Eyed Susans are growing along the fence line of our back yard. They must like it there, as they continue to multiply year after year.

As those of you who have visited here or www.hrpr.com in the past probably know, we have two Jack Russell Terriers named Gunston (bottom) and Piggy (top) who think they are in charge of things around here. Although they have that laid-back look in the picture, I can assure you that everything you hear about Jacks being high-energy dogs is certainly true for this pair.
