I think middle aged dogs are the best, no more of that bouncing around like Tigger all the time (just some of it) and they appreciate a good lie in as much as we do :-)
One long walk and they flake out in front of the fire and the house is a peaceful place again.
Oh .... look at them ........ no wonder you are such an animal lover John. ........ my Grandmothers terrier used to wait outside the pub for her ....... he had to wait a long, long time !!!! XXXX
Oh bless them. My 2 are a bit like now. My eldest (11) only gets a sprint on when I'm chasing him around the house with his insulin jab at the ready and the other - a true *slut* only wakes up properly when she spies a willing fuss victim
Like Em Parkinson above, took me a little time to work out where the settee/cushions end and the dogs start. I'd be tempted to give little tickles just to be sure.
At first I thought it was all one dog, being new to your blog and not knowing that you had 3. I looked again and saw them cuddled together in a most appealing way.
and getting up in the evenings, when we have all been laying around in front of the fire, all 3 of us are creaking, stiff-legged and groaning as we take our first few steps LOL
We could all learn a thing or two from our pets... that life doesn't always have to be at a hectic pace and sometimes savouring the moment is the way to start the day. Hope you're feeling better. Susan
They all look so happy! I've decided i'm done with kittens. I love Jim dearly, but boy oh boy, he's got more energy than all the rest of us combined. Just now he's resting, after having been outside for the last 3 hours, and i don't think we cracked 20°F/-6°C yet.
Very cute photo.
ReplyDeleteBut we have coffee...
ReplyDeleteSo does our Yorkie. He drinks from the wife's cup all the time.

That's why I prefer them, we move at the same pace!
ReplyDeleteLol I'm going to be digging over my veg beds today, I expect that's what I will look like after I've done :-)
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered that this very common syndrome has a name - dysania.
ReplyDeleteI have dysania!
DeleteWalkies!!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable...excellent!
ReplyDeleteThat is why I don't think I could start over again as my four fit right in with my lifestyle too x
ReplyDeleteHard to tell where one stops and the other starts! Adorable!
ReplyDeletePatient:
ReplyDelete"Doctor, Doctor, I keep thinking I'm a dog."
Doctor:
"Lie on the couch please."
Patient:
"I'm not allowed - I'm a dog!"
Old Russ Abbott joke. Great photo John!
Takes me longer to unfold, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha so cute! My cats are the same way :)
ReplyDeleteIf the dogs are on the settee....where do you nap?
ReplyDeleteJane x
Few problems distinguishing between dogs and cushions so probably not an ideal reference photo for drawing. They're VERY sweet.
ReplyDeleteNot wishing to cause a stir but exactly what is middle age ?
ReplyDeleteI mean like 70 is the new 40, so what does that equate with in dogs ?
What a heavenly picture.... I want to just curl up with them!!
ReplyDeleteOh bless them. My 2 are a bit like now. My eldest (11) only gets a sprint on when I'm chasing him around the house with his insulin jab at the ready and the other - a true *slut* only wakes up properly when she spies a willing fuss victim
ReplyDeleteAwww... what cutie-patooties.
ReplyDelete:O)
ReplyDeleteand they fart a lot!
ReplyDeleteMidle-ages cats are as well!
ReplyDelete*middle
ReplyDeleteCuties!! They made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the most beautiful photograph I have ever seen of much-loved dogs John. Get it to a publisher right now.

ReplyDeleteIt's tickled me that I have 30 comments for just three lines prose!
ReplyDeleteOff to work today , hence the brief blog!
Just goes to show how "A picture is worth........etc etc."
DeleteNot to mention the afternoon nap.

ReplyDeleteI know how they (the dogs) feel. I hope your cold is better John, especially if you're off to work! XX
ReplyDeleteAnd they dont have Opposable thumbs to start up the coffee pot ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm channeling my inner middle aged dog right now. Its saying 'nap on the bed". Sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteunbelievably cute photo... can I come over for a snuggle?
ReplyDeletethey are so cute and look comfy
ReplyDeleteGill
Amen to that.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Amen to that. That is definitely hubby and I!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous they are! Trust George to be snug in the middle spot.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and cuddly. Pity we don't look that cute first thing in the mornings!
ReplyDeleteIt's the only way to be on a Sunday at least...
