I don't know why this picture of Nigel cracks me up, but it does - and not because Sola has her nose buried in his fruitbowl. I chose not to use photo correction in order to preserve the glowing bug eyes.
Baby Sola. This pic was not staged, but could not sum up the attributes of Sola more perfectly - she is all tomboy. A little pink, a little blue, a little batsh*t.
This one is not as much fun - it's Truffles sporting some bling. Those rings hold metal rods that pass through holes drilled in the bone. She can decimate a paycheck in a hurry.
We had to tighten the nuts daily to bend the leg back in to shape. I'll never eat shish kabobs again.
I'll leave you with this, the essence of a wintery Saturday afternoon.
Harmony.
Happy Saturday!
Hahaha, fruitbowl and glowing bug eyes, poor Nige! Sola looks adorable and I love your description of her. Hope Truffles is doing ok. Oh, and by the way....your sofa looks like mine does when it's wet outside!

That last picture is a perfect ending to a great day. Good Saturday
ReplyDeleteHello,

Hey there - I knew I forgot an important blog.. I just added you to "the new dog blogs" post. :) I love the pic of Nigel & Sola by the way... lol. And yes I know - Krutrut takes some amazing pics... she's got the eye for it... for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is so adorable.
ReplyDeletePoor Truffles, that looks so uncomfortable.
Does DWB have a Funniest Blog category? They are gonna need one and soon!
ReplyDeleteKisses,

Nigel - I totally understand that look.

Your dogs are all so cute..and looks like they all have a personality of their own....what happended to the one who has the steel rod in his leg....did he break it or is it arthritis?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and for leaving a comment...all the best...
those are some great photos! thank you for sniffing out our bloggy. we're gonna remember you and come back again.
ReplyDeleteour mom understands about how we decimate her paycheck too - 3 surgeries in one year + lots of other stuff. she says we are an expensive habit - but worth it 100 times over!
woofs!
I love that picture of all the dogs on the couch. Poor Truffles, that ring thing looks like a torture device!

She suffered from ALD - angular limb deformity. Her leg was broken as a poppy and was not set. We had to straighten it out. And empty our wallets : )

Thanks for the visual tidbits. A picture is worth a thousand words. I also appreciate you stopping by theshaygirl.com and commenting. It's always wonderful to meet another dog lover. All the very best in 2009!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Edie especially enjoyed the "turd-hat" post. As a human with 3 dogs, two of whom consider the back deck a "poop deck", she found it particularly hysterical! I, a noble bloodhound, found it not quite so amusing...
ReplyDeleteWe both laughed about walking all the way to Alaska. If you decide to do it, we will invite you over for dinner!

That is the paw-fect couch!
ReplyDeleteWe love that picture of Nigel, and the one of baby Sola!
Poor Truffles. We hope that her leg is back to health soon. Extra brown dog kisses and Girlie hugs to Truffles!
Dannan
I love that last pic too!
ReplyDeleteDespite you stating you were going to creatively slack off on the weekend, you pounded out a nice photo essay.
ReplyDeleteThe grin on Nigel's face totally slays me. It's worthy to submit to the Smiling Dog contest over at The Bark magazine. And I wouldn't mess with the green eyes either....good call!
Doze ar sum cwazee piktures! Wooks wike woo all had a gud nap, tho.
