I was trolling for portraits this evening down by the harbor when I spotted Maggie the wonder dog. No, don't hang up yet. Maggie is the most amazing dog I have ever seen. I watched from a distance for a while then I had to approached .

Do yourself a favor and click on www.maggiethewonderdog.com

As for web sites that's one of the best I've seen, dog or human.

I asked if I could take a picture of Maggie as she caught the ball in the air. As you can see I get an "F" for focus. It was almost dark and I only had one shot.

I've never seen a dog do what this dog could do, I've never seen a dog with a better web site.

What really amazed me was when these little children showed up. The lady tossed the ball to the kids and said to Maggie -- go play with the kids. When the kid threw the ball Maggie chased it down and brought it back to the kid, and just stayed there as one of the kids. Chasing the ball over and over again. She only came back to the lady when called.

The one image below is Maggies business card.

Don't forget to see the clip of Maggie on the Jay Leno show at her web site under "clips."

After leaving Maggie I was so pumped up I thought I'd try my hand at training animals. I asked my dolphin friend to jump over this building, and it worked!

Hi Mike,

It's always fun to see photos of areas I know. : ) Some friends of ours just spent the weekend with us and are now on their way down there (after stopping at the Salvador Dali musem in St. Pete) for a week's vacation. Make sure you keep the weather nice for them!

Holly
