Why can't I see pictures here? All I get are X-d out picture icons. [Update - I can see this picture and one on another thread, but still not the ones of Rufus. Hmmmmmm.]

My buddy "Chon" is a great support for me. He knows when the beast arrives and lies down quietly (and "quietly" is not a normal function for him!) under my desk. He watches me carefully each time I pace past him, and I tell him he's a good boy. When the beast departs, he wags his tail and I always kneel down and thank him for his support.

I dunno, Rufus is really a pretty dog(tell him I said handsome), but I'm a house junkie! That is a one cool house, Dennis!!

About the snow.........well, if I'm tired of it, and I'm in Oregon, I can ONLY imagine how others must feel about it! ish!!!

We're actually in full sunshine, 60 degrees and expected to last through the weekend! Can you say cruise time???

Thank you for sharing, Dennis!

Up in New England it's par for the course. It's actually been a pretty mild winter up here. I ain't complaining.

Wow, Penny has that "I'm all grown up teenager" look on her face now. Love that breed. Don't know if I could live with the bray though.

You'd be surprised how well behaved Rufus is. So long as you keep up a good pace he wants nothing more than to walk right next to you. Of course it took us more than a few miles to get to this point Roll Eyes

Here's a pic of Lily. She's technically the neighbors dog, but she lives at my house and has adopted me as her mommy/owner. She was part of the pack when I had dogs and has never left. She has her own bed, food and water bowl in the garage and I let her in every night for awhile to get her belly scratched and doggie love. Thank God the neighbors understand.
