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….
