Today we had such a great time going to a “non championship” dog show on the spur of the moment. Friends of Bernice and Franck were so kind to take us out to dinner last nite and in vite us to the show. The dogs were wonderful to see and they made us miss our own girls very much~~~
I’ll have pix of the show and the Flea Market we went to on the coast tomorrow. Somewhere along the line we misplaced the cord to the camera to download so I’m posting a mix of photos from Botswana and Capetown until tomorrow.

My name is Sandra Miller, and art is at the heart of everything I do. I create from my studio in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where life is shared with my husband Steve and our charming “Dog in the Kitchen,” Ihana—my constant muse and taste-tester behind the scenes of this creative journey.
Through my artwork and the Dog in the Kitchen project, I love blending creativity, storytelling, and a touch of everyday magic.

Your wonderful travel pictures to tend to stir long dormant urges of mine to see the world. As the days roll by, I often slowly sink into the contentment of having a daily routine, which includes its own adventures, but when I see your photos, I sometimes want her back–the one who wanted to touch a list of a hundred places in the world by the time she was thirty. Though long past the mark timewise, the places have for the most part not moved and are still there for te touching, as you seem to be. Thanks ever so much for sharing. susanne/drsuze
The gift shop—what a hoot. Amazing colors. The giraffe is way cool in that morning light.
And the Penquin—oh my. Looks and sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Wish I were there.
Lots of Love

Great photos, Sandra! The giftshop is so cool. I love the widebeast’s pose, and the glamorous little penguin is adorable. Who helped her apply her false eyelashes? Hey! have you found a source for the beautiful Botswana agates while you’ve been there?
What an adventure you are having! I can hardly wait to see how this trip has inspired your jewelry.
Big hugs,
Jan
