A dog's life

This is Sniffles, my brother's dog. I'm sitting here trying to remember the various dog breeds which comprise her heritage -- black lab, arctic wolf, Syberian husky, chow chow, bull mastif, and quite possibly the kitchen sink. She is truly a dog of many makes and models.

This was taken in South Salem, last 4th of July (the USA's Independence Day). That was the day my brother learned, if he tried hard enough, he could light his firepit on fire using a projectile from a firework. Surprisingly, no one was hurt as a result.
