The early bird gets the what now?

Joey may look like a sleepy-snoozy dog, but he is actually making sure his morning walk is first on the morning agenda. He doesn't quite get the 'five more minutes' game I tend to play with the alarm clock. He knows what the alarm means: get up, get dressed, get walking. He tries to be demanding and fortunately for me, his most effective persuasive device is cute cuddily-ness. He's good at it, and did eventually get his walk - five or ten (maybe fifteen) minutes later.

Doggie Friends

This is Joey with his best doggie friend, Layla. He actually kind of loves her, but she doesn't like him in, you know, that way. Being that Layla is one of the only other dogs I see on a regular basis, I really wanted them to get along. It took a little time, but now they really are a tiny pack. They have such different personalities, it is really fun to hang out with the two of them. Plus, spending time with her is apparently as exciting as about four long walks. We get home and Joey pretty much sleeps the whole rest of the day (dreaming of who do you think?)

Before and After

It has been a long time since we posted anything here. I've been caught up, you know how it is. Joey wasn't too thrilled with tonight's activity. I don't know if you can see the middle picture much, but we cut off a ton of hair. He doesn't look much different!

I'll try to get some more pictures up soon. We haven't stopped taking them, so there's plenty to choose from! I think he's recovered from the indignity of his haircut and hoping for another trip outside. (We'll see.)
