Boots, the Ranch Dog

Posted by
B. Thomas (Arlington, Texas, United States) on 26 May 2011 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Boots, also known as Boots - the wonder dog, is all decked out in her pink bandana. She loves to hang out with the ranch guests, and is always willing to share any snacks that are offered. She is very popular and has many comments written about her in the guest book.


**I'm posting a series of photos from an April trip to Fredericksburg, TX in Hill Country.
