Sleeping dogs

Fran on Friday

Thinking is hard work!

Tired Booker after class

Is there anything more restful than having a sleeping dog? I don’t think so. As with most Fridays, traffic has slowed down this afternoon. Tango is napping in a bed (we have many scattered about the office – which is amazing, since the office is quite tiny) and Booker is snoring behind me on the chair. I don’t want to disturb Booker, but his little snorts are putting me to sleep!

Tango has had a busy week. School on Tuesday and work on Thursday and Friday. wrapngo_tngo_redpldsd_smWe don’t often use Tango as a model because it’s very difficult to get a good picture of a black dog. But he’s our smallest and we needed a model for the new Red Plaid Wrap-N-Go harness, so he was recruited! Hope reminded me that it’s easier to photograph him now because he’s turning (prematurely) gray!

And Booker had school last night and a couple of vigorous training / play sessions today. Rough life, right? So I have the radio turned up, bouncing along to Taylor Swift, working and trying to ignore Booker’s snores. I may have to wake him up, now that I think of it – I want him to sleep tonight!

Who’s cuddling with who?

We recently posted a picture on facebook of a couple of our dogs curled up together in their dog bed. Somebody commented that her dogs never sleep together – they get along fine, but they just don’t snuggle up the way our dogs do.

And, thinking back over the years – this is the first bunch of dogs in our family that’s cuddled up together. Our dogs have always like being “in touch” with us (their humans), but not with each other.

All of the current Golly Gear crew  – Tango, Teddy, Booker, and nor Torque, love to cuddle and lie next to each other. We think that Teddy was the start of it all – he’s the champion cuddler of the crew and everybody loves cuddling with Teddy (especially us!). Their favorite spot is the Woofie Cushion in our dining room – but any dog bed will do, and couches are just fine, too.

 

Teddy started cuddling with Dax when he was a baby. He didn't give her any choice.
