Dogs kissing: no mistletoe needed

Do your dogs kiss each other? I ask, because apparently mine do.

Well, one of them does. The other one just looks puzzled.

I shall keeeessss you!

I’ve read that this licking behavior might be a sign of affection. I hope that’s the case, because that’s a pretty nice idea.

On the other hand, Tavish licks everything that moves, so maybe Bella just ends up in the right place at the right time. On the other other hand, Bella licks everything too, but she doesn’t usually lick Tavish. How do your dogs show affection?

I’m thankful for furry faces

I’m thankful…

  • …for having dogs in my life and for growing up in a family that taught me to love animals. For me, it’s just not a home without a furry friend.

Tavish face!

  • …that I’ve had ten years with my wonderful Bella. It’s been a fantastic decade.

Bella

  • …that Tavish joined our family this year. He and Bella have been getting along famously. One of these days, I’ll convince them to snuggle with each other. 

Tavish

  • …that I have found such a wonderful community of dog lovers. You guys rock.

What are you thankful for today?

Soaking up the sun

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m currently obsessed with photos of the two pups hanging out together. I can’t get enough.

Canine costumes galore!

You may remember that I told you about a local event called Barktoberfest… well, it was this past Saturday, and I had a blast! Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) really knows how to have a good time.

(As promised, I did live-tweet the event from the FOHA Twitter account – if you want to experience the day all over again, you can find the tweets here.)

Anyway, I took way too many photos (as usual), and wanted to share a few with you today. One of the many fun events was the Best Costume contest, which made for some excellent photo ops. It’s time for you to be the judge – which costume is your favorite?

(For the rest of my photos from the event, check out the full set on Flickr.)

Rocky Mountain high…

I’ve been on vacation for the past week… although I managed to schedule a few posts during my absence, I didn’t have a chance to get this week’s No Frown Friday together. I hope you’ll forgive me – instead, today I’ll share a few photos from my vacation so that you can see what I was up to.  Continue reading
