CBS Sunday Morning ran a great little story about a photographer in Dallas that started taking glamour shots of dogs awaiting adoption with a local rescue: http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/cbsnews_player_embed.swf Now, granted, dachshunds are probably an easier gig that pitbulls or rottweilers.

One of his incisions was infected, so he has had to wear the cone a bit longer. And go back to the doctor every day for bandage changes. Hopefully, they all come out tomorrow. Because: After the game, Gibbs went into his crate with… Continue Reading “Where Gibbs Spent the Football Game”
