My dogs
have artistic temperaments -- that's how I explain their free spirits. A muse
or a drummer only they can see and hear inspires responses not strictly in the
program. So a First Thursday Art Walk in Pioneer Square featuring an
exhibit of dog-centered
art and photography in a dog-friendly space sounds like the perfect
opportunity to demonstrate their aesthetic sensitivity and to put to bed the
rumor that they are simply poorly trained.

Last week, a the 26-year-old Seattle vaccine scientist hung up his lab coat to pursue outdoor adventure with his dog full-time. In a few weeks, David Sylvester and Chiva, a shepherd-husky mix, will begin a quest to bike the continental United States and climb to the highest point in each state.

The Single Male Poodle in question is a 7-year-old black miniature-teacup mix named Eddie, after the terrier in "Frasier." He's a lover of designer duds, especially all things Burberry, Buster & Sullivan (where he found his rockin' camo T) and strutting his stuff at the Magnuson off-leash area.

I had one reaction to Janice Kajanoff's sporty, artfully designed dog jackets. I wanted one. Not for my dogs, who have plenty of fur, and honestly, won't appreciate neon-orange ribbon-trim from Paris. For me. You just don't see sportswear for people designed and sewn with as much care as these coats for dogs.

Dogs inspire all kinds of transformations in their humans. It's one of the things that makes talking to "dog people" so satisfying. A slobbery, big-eyed quadruped can turn a cold bastard into a cuddle fiend and a couch potato into a marathoner. Dogs even inspire job shifts. Scratch a dog walker or a trainer and you'll find a former teacher, lawyer, bartender -- you name it.
