The Art of the Nap

There are rules to napping, who knew?! Today's blog is dedicated to Tomo, napper extraordinaire.

This is what the bed looks like when I'm done with it. Note the layers, original bed, then sheep skin and finally fleece.

But you can't sleep in that apparently. You need to adjust it...

Rearrange it...

Or all out destroy it...

Rollo & Chudleigh

A couple of performance pups, taking a well deserved break.

"Evidently Rollo decided elevating the head while sleeping is a fine thing to do.  When lacking a pillow you use the next best thing, your boxer brother's muscular thigh!  Yup, my dogs have no problem with touching each other while sleeping.

It is chilly here in sunny California and Rollo is happy to be wearing his jaunty little fleece jacket in the house.  I told him he looks like a miniature Hugh Heffner."

Working the Hedgehog

As I often do when I've been away, I brought the Brindle a new toy when I came back at New Years. This time the selection was in part because he has tried so hard to make friends with the hedgehogs in our back yard. This is who came home with me:

He doesn't have normal play sessions with his new friend, only private ones behind the couch. I call it working the hedgehog and was only able to sneak one photo:

Aside from working the hedgehog I can pretty much tell he likes his new friend as it never strays very far from him.
