My friend Sarah has written a children’s book about the history of plumbing. Children’s book or not, I cannot wait until it’s published because it’s supposed to have all sorts of cool/gross stuff about people dumping chamber pots out of city windows and men and women conversing in multi-seated outhouses. Ahhhh, the good old days.

For her book, she needed a photograph of a horse, but not just any horse. She needed a work horse. Our Snoopy is a draft cross so I volunteered him and he was very casual and relaxed about the whole thing. I think he wanted the photographer to think that people are always wanting to take his photo, so be gave the impression of being very unaffected, while, in fact, I know that he was LOVING the limelight.
