HAPPY FRIDAY . . . AND SURGERY



NOTE:
I will be having knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, February 4. 

When that knee heals well enough, I will have the same surgery on my other knee, but there's no way to know exactly when that will take place.  I do know that I am looking forward to walking without pain for the first time in many years!

Your prayers are appreciated, and I will return as soon as I can, because I will miss the opportunity to talk about "our" favorite dawgs--and anything else that comes to mind :).

SHADOW AND HIS HUMAN "BROTHER"

  

"Helping" human baby brother with his food

Granddawg Shadow loves his human brother, and it looks like they have a "mutual admiration society"!
 
 
Just ridin' in the wagon

Hugs and kisses


Shadow didn't feel well, so Brother is being doctor

BEHOLD THE COUCH . . .

How to wake up with a sore neck


 
 What is it about couches that dogs love so much?  Every dachshund I've ever known always liked the couch as his/her special domain, and the pictures below attest to that fact. 
 
Why do you think doxies choose the couch above other pieces of furniture, such as recliners?  And I've observed that they love to lie in between the cushions rather than on a cushion (usually).   They also like to lie on top of their humans.
 
Some doxies are also arm sitters (of couches); some like a certain end, while others want the center.  Some even prefer to lay their heads on the arm.
 
In any case, many also like to be covered up with a blanket--either their own or anyone else's.  They are burrowers, after all.
 
Dachshunds--you gotta love 'em!
 
 
 
"Humans are almost as soft as a couch"
"Don't even ask . . ."
 
"One must learn to sleep however one can"
 
 

"Couch takeover!"

"Between the cushions is
my favorite spot"

"Hey, don't sit down!  I was
just getting ready to nap!"


"What a crazy couch!  Which end should I take??"

 
"Ahhh.  A couch arm is the perfect pillow"
