Talluah–Dog As Still Life

As dogs go Tallulah is the world’s easiest to deal with. She doesn’t bark. She doesn’t prowl. She specializes in resting.

To my left Helaine is sitting on the sofa. Her laptop is showing the Phillies game. She is audibly reacting to every pitch, ever play.

To my right UCONN is playing Vanderbilt on the TV. UCONN is down by one though it feels like Vandi is manhandling them.

Between me and the TV is our house guest, Tallulah.

Tallulah doesn’t seem interested in baseball or football. Maybe she’s waiting for something more dachshund appropriate. Is there a soccer game on? Is Bayern Munich playing?

Here’s a little sample of Tallulah’s still life.

Two Roxie Photos

Roxie is still soft, still freakishly long, still pretty.

Stef took these yesterday with her BlackBerry. Roxie is still soft, still freakishly long, still pretty. Though she barks at strangers she didn’t bark at me! It’s been nearly six months since I saw her, but she remembered.

Who’s The Birthday Puppy? (photos)

We expected Roxie to be a miniature dachshund. Uh… not quite. Love trumps all.

Stef’s puppy Roxie turns two years old today. She is still freakishly long. She is still a pretty lady. She still dries like a ShamWow.

Here are some photos from Roxie taken during recent dinner theater tour of “Jaws.”

Tallulah’s Back!

Tallulah eats at a speed which suggests she thinks a meteor is headed toward Earth and she’d better hurry.

We are dog starved! That’s why when Tracey called to ask if we’d watch Tallulah her adorably docile mini dachshund, we asked if she’d like to stay two nights instead of one!

Tallulah has arrived. She’s on the sofa right now.

As dogs go Tallulah is very easy. She has toys, but she doesn’t play with them. She’s content to lay on the sofa comfortably enveloped by the softness of her blankets. If from time-to-time your hand reaches over and gently massages her back that’s fine too!

Tallulah eats at a speed which suggests she thinks a meteor is headed toward Earth and she’d better hurry. I’ll have video of that later.

Dogs are calming and soothing. It’s a trait they get by emulating Tallulah!

It’s possible by the time Tracey returns we’ll have packed up with no forwarding address.

Dog Sitting For Tallulah–Let The Photos Begin!

We love having Tallulah around the house especially since she’s such a wonderful model for my photography!

We’ve got a visitor this weekend. Tracey is off to a wedding her high school reunion and she’s entrusted us with Tallulah. We love having Tallulah around the house especially since she’s such a wonderful model for my photography!

Let the games begin. Tallulah’s on the sofa resting. I hope the clicking doesn’t disturb her.

Dogs Are Cuter than Humans

Roxie was under my care late night last night. She is much less needy than a human… And cuter!
