Puppy With Plans (part 1)

Back in March the BML received one of those kinds of emails that makes everyone smile. This one was from the land of Sarkel and announced the healthy arrival of a number of wee ones to make us all smile. What we didn't know is that one of those babies had some plans in store for him.

At the time he was known as Paddy. I've since been told his "official" name is Sarkel's Out of Step but he'll be known as Sieg. Sieg's job? Well he's going to be the understudy to Willie B and if all goes well he will one day step up to be Rachel's "eyes".

In the mean time he's just a busy little cutie-pie.

Play time is important!

Whether you know what you're doing or not.

Determined little guy (bonus, Bogie Bear's bum)

And you have to spend time with ALL the family

Expressions

Today an update from my co-admin that includes her dogs and her grand-dogs.

I've been experimenting with my camera and decided to concentrate on Dog Faces.  And I think Boxer faces are SO expressive.  So here are a few results of my experimentation.

Dempsey and Josie spent a weekend with my guys and here's Demp curled up on the couch.  He's a pretty tired guy after rough-housing with the other White Tornadoes - and being disciplined a couple times by Head Dog Olly.

Dempsey and Josie managed to fit in the donut bed together!

Josie is hard to photograph ... she can hear me get my camera from miles away!

For some reason, Paris-Ivy believed it was her job to give Olly's face a spit bath.

Olly is a deep thinker, that's for sure. Now ... if I could just figure out what he's thinking ...

After a rough and tumble play session, Paris-Ivy takes a moment to rest in the cool grass.

Annie Girl

I think we love them more for their challenges. Annie has been battling seizures but seems to be stable for now.

Annie's mom "My girl has a hard time of it for the last couple of months, thankfully she seems to be leveling out with a meds/supplements/diet combination that seems to be working."

Annie loves her pillow and in this picture she had a big seizure and was resting finally, unfortunately another seizure occurred shortly after this picture was taken

Initially the Phenobarbital knocked her out and made her a little loopy

Finally able to enjoy some of our Northern California sunshine, with her long tongue leading the way!
