Wednesday night, Tom and I went to Lynne’s. He was setting up her wireless router so Tim and I could work on our laptops even WAY OUTSIDE THE LOOP. However, his attempts to bend DSL to his will were thwarted, and he’ll have to try again. Our wireless is set up with cable modem and went smoothly, but this DSL thing… If anyone has any wisdom to share, I’ll pass it on to him though I won’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
However, I DO know dogs. And tonight I was entertained by four of them.
This is Sparky, the dog Tim has to shoot when he dogsits. With insulin shots, that is. Sparky lives by the belly, so going on a strict diet has been hard for him, but he’s a little trooper.
This is one of the granddogs, Seig. Seig would like to believe he looks ferocious, and we don’t tell him his non-pointed doberman ears make him look like a big cupcake.
This is Seig’s new little sister, Black Eyed Susan, or Sue, an American bulldog. She won’t be Seig’s little sister long, as she’s expected to weigh about a hundred pounds as an adult.
Right now, Sue’s all snoozy, pink-footed puppy. I love yelling for her outside: “Suuuue! Suuuu-eeee!” Takes me back to my Southern hog-calling days. Okay, I never called hogs, but I could have if I’d wanted to.
And this is the dowager doberman, Greta (age 15), who just wishes all of us would get the hell out of her house.
I always wanted an American BullDog. I love their faces so much.
But they are a major handfull around the house.
I love doggies.
P.S. Hey you know I wasn’t meaning offence about the painting/ac thing right? It was meant as being funny…
Oh, absolutely! Although I’m sure that if you ever want to commission art from Tim, he’ll be happy to negotiate.
Anyway, you should e-mail me your address, because you never know what may happen…
poor Sparky, I feel his pain! I live by my belly too .. and new puppy smell AWWW!
Oh, he had the best puppy breath!
is that bad that I love puppy breath and puppy kisses … I can remember when little man, was really a LITTLE man … he was so cyte and chubby…
eeee!! lookit that sweet tiny baby puppy!
the other three are just too cute as well. dobermans always make me think of royalty.
I think they are fine dogs. They’re very protective of their homes and people and shouldn’t be underestimated by strangers (even as Seig would tell us, when their ears aren’t pointed).
Wonderful! And I’m with samdewinter, that puppy smell–love it.
Sue is adorable! Almost adorable enough to make me want a another puppy.
the dogs
Great pictures. All my dogs and grand dogs looks so cute! Sue is a sweet puppy. I sure hope Greta survives the next week with Seig. Her face will be in a permanent snarl.
