I was just browsing Flickr and came across EllenJo and I am now officially her biggest fan. First of all you must check out Greetings from Floyd St. which is an ongoing series of travel photos featuring EllenJo’s 5 pound Chihuahua, Floyd. Amazing! But wait there’s more, she’s got a Boston too!!! Check out these adorable pics of Ivan. What a cutie, and what wonderful photography! Then be sure to check out EllenJo’s website, especially the Clyde, Floyd, and Ivan page. And when you’re done browsing all that cuteness why not buy one of the books? I am totally buying Dogs in Disguise Volume II. I love it!
