The Dog Chapel has long been on my list of places to visit in Vermont, and while I would have preferred to go in warmer weather and walk the lovely nature trails… we happened to pass the sign so I screamed, “Let’s go!”
Up a steep hill, and over a narrow and rutted dirt road you’ll find a 150 acre farm.
The Chapel…
And a frozen, peed upon pumpkin.
(I’m guessing dog, but wouldn’t put it past my husband.)
There’s also a gallery/shop that houses the owner’s folk art, which as you might guess….
Is clearly dog-centric.
There are dog chairs…
Dog benches..
Dog lamps…
Dog borders…
Dog railings…
And dog mounted trophies….
Don’t laugh…
It beats the trophy mounted vegetarian on this butcher shop wall.
Even the bathroom was dogged.
It’s pretty clear the artist loved dogs.
And why wouldn’t he?
They’re marvelously talented creatures….
River's world..... 
Oh, I love it! I don’t even have a dog, but I like anything that is unique and charming. Plus, so cute. Who thought of this?

We don’t currently have a dog, but have shared our lives with some special ones over the years….
As for who thought of it, Stephen Huneck. His art, his gallery, his mountain.

As a dog lover, I’m just gonna have to check this out. My beloved Jegs is turning 10 in February. Valentine’s Day no less. Hope he’ll make a lie out of the 11-13 years for Labs,

The wall mounted vegetarian made me laugh… rather see it on the wall than those poor deer.
And yes, we all would if were as flexible as dogs. That’s nature…

I did, his art is sold locally… but I’d never visited and experienced the whole thing at once before.
