A little reluctantly

No words

A professional Santa shot

They spoon in their own way

Waiting while we eat

Diane asked...

What is Chewie getting for Christmas? We haven't thought about it. He is definitely getting a stocking. What do you think he should get? What are you getting your pups?

Here's bed #5

Let's hope he can avoid eating this bed!

I feel pretty!

Chewie challenges a rawhide to a staring contest

Later he will claim the rawhide was cheating by not having eyes

Chewie herding

He was great today!

Adopting Doggies!!!!

Yesterday I took a trip to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, my local animal shelter, to donate some treats and other surplus things that we had for Chewie. The AWLA is a wonderful organization with a lot of very cute animals for adoption. While there I bought a great sticker that informs emergency service workers that there is a dog inside the house. This made me think that I want to offer a free 30 minute walk to people in Arlington and Alexandria who have adopted dogs from shelters, through Arlington Dog Nanny.

For people who think Mini Aussies are the bee's knees, you can adopt or foster one through MARS or you can check out Mac, Chewie's newest friend on Dogster. He is pretty cute!

He's only in Ohio, just a few states away! Must...resist...urge!

Blustery Day!

Today was very, very cold, so I put the only clothes I had on the pups. Unfortunately, they hardly did any good against the freezing wind gusts, which had all of us shivering. Here they are warming up after our walk all over Crystal and Pentagon Cities. Fenway's mom really should consider getting him a sweater even if it is a little goofy.
