Happy Birthday Ike

Ike is celebrating his 10th birthday! 


































Pretty funny--I thought he was 10 yrs old all last year, but when I just went and looked it his records, it turns out he was 9. Oops! Anyway, Happy Birthday Ike!

Our dogs enjoy the comfort of their own cozy dog beds . They're allowed on the couch and  in my big green chair with the matching ottoman. They can lie on the hardwood floor or the braided rug. They even climb up into "my" chair in the living room when I vacate it. Truly, comfort is important to them. So then why do they sometimes do something that looks so... un comfortable? One of Petey's favorite napping positions is this: Does that look comfortable? And Ernest has a habit of sleeping atop tables like this: All I can conclude is that this must be comfortable to them.
