artist, furniture maker, illustrator and author, stephen huneck, created this dog chapel near his home in st. johnsbury, vt as a place for dogs and their owners to go for 'quiet reflection and spiritual renewal'. how sweet is that?! a sign in front reads: "welcome: all creeds, all breeds. no dogmas allowed." adorable!
here is the
ny times article about the late creator. planning a trip to to st. johnsbury for a cleanse with maddie and zinnia :)

LOVE that pic of the pups! Mine never seem to stand still long enough :) Maybe Blue does but not the little saki-baby-puppy-friendly-waby puppies!
