Ross

Ross is my new favourite. He is another one of those shy hounds. He is young, maybe two years old and so still has a lot of playful attitude in him. When he is outside he is a completely different dog to indoors. We think that he must have been an outside dog. When he is out there I get play bows and leaps and running. When he is indoors he is worried about all the noises and spends his time equally with his chin on my knee giving me that special worried hound furrowed brow and equally hanging over the half door making sure that bad things are not happening out in the hallway. He has the softest ears this side of the equator and is completely attached to me after only a few days. I hate to say it, but I think I am in love again, as I was with Fred. Sigh.

PS. I apologise for the sideways photos, I just cannot get blogger to cooperate.

another puzzle

This is the temperature control for our fridge. It is unnecessarily complex. In K's words we will work it out in an "empirical method" which is, try different things till you figure out how to turn it down.

the meeting of two posts.

Remember the ridiculous little doggy jerseys? This is the first one to be used, and isn't she the most adorable munchkin you have ever seen.

What's for dinner?

I love these vanity plates for a little early morning humour.

We woke up to snow this week, blech.

Mia Hamm

Is my ED's current foster puppy along with the Presleys, who are still available for adoption and still treating me like I am going to do something horrible to them. Mia is the waddliest, snuggliest, puppy breathiest, sharp toothed little creature to walk the earth. No one can resist her dark eyes in her fluffy little face. It was tough getting her to be still for two seconds to take a pic so I apologise for the blurriness.

Popsicle

Poppy had seven puppies and then developed mastitis so couldn't nurse them. When she came to my office she was red and swollen and any female who came by had the urge to cross their arms. With treatment she is feeling much better and just is the sweetest girl. She is a mountain Feist, otherwise know as a treeing Fiest which are traditionally used to hunt squirrels! They are actually bred to chase the squirrels up the trees!

here's another one
