You may remember my dad’s dog, Roscoe. His cuteness has been documented on the blog before. I went to visit my dad this weekend (sans Bella – she and the hub stayed home). On the technology front, it was a recipe for blogger withdrawal – dial-up Internet and a crappy cell signal. Regardless, it was nice to spend some time with my family, and I still had puppies for entertainment! One of those puppies was Roscoe, who managed to be insanely cute while taking a nap:
I’ll share more photos from my trip another day – I think this photo stands on its own. Do you ever find your dogs sleeping in funny positions?
Oh, and I also wanted to update you on this week’s K9 Kamp challenge. This week, we were supposed to incorporate fetch into our workout. However, there was a twist – after throwing the toy, Bella and I raced to get it! (As you know, Bella and I already broke out the rope toy in order to
complete last week’s challenge. So, of course that’s the toy we used
for the fetch challenge as well.)
This week’s challenge was definitely more intense than
our walking from last week. Bella’s pretty fast when she’s got her eye
on a rope toy. However, she also tires out relatively quickly, so we
broke it up into several chunks of 10 minutes or so each. (Also,
probably a good thing it wasn’t me asking her to fetch the rope bone and
bring it to me… she’s never quite mastered that game. She always
takes the toys back to Toy Corner instead. She’s like a homing pigeon.) It was a fun challenge!
Be sure to check out Peggy’s Pet Place and Kol’s Notes today for more updates, and swing by tomorrow for information on Challenge #3.
Roscoe looks like he had a very tough day:)
I find it amazing how dogs can sleep in the craziest positions!
Great challenge recap! Sherman and I had fun playing catch together too!
Roscoe is adorable! Bet Bella was a wee bit jealous when you got home š We're behind on reading and looks like lots to catch up on. Gotta check out the Ryan Gosling thing – we're so out of the loop (*sigh*)
The Road Dogs & Mom
jen – Agreed. He just curled up on the couch and stuck his legs up like that!
Road Dogs – She did give me a thorough sniffing. š
I love the pic of Roscoe, so cute!
I just saw that your blog is the featured blog on BlogPaws. Congratulations!!! š
Woof! Woof! Glad you spend some time with your Dad. Oh it seems that Roscoe was dreaming. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Aww I wanna go snuggle with Roscoe
Roscoe is definitely cute. I think my dogs are their cutest when they're sleeping. Swift likes to sleep under blankets, and Kool likes to sleep on clean laundry!
Oh Roscoe, you got the comfy going!
You're doing great with the challenges! I hope you don't have to work quite as hard next week but….you'll find out tomorrow!
That sound like a fun challenge! Roscoe is so snuggly š
Julie – Thanks! I saw it was up there the other day, which was cool. However, I figured it would be another blog by now – not that I mind. š
Sugar – He did do some running in his sleep as well. Hehe.
Stacy – I spent quite a bit of time snuggling with him over the weekend!
Peggy – Bella and I are ready for the next one! š
I think Roscoe's cuteness just melted me into a puddle of goo! What a cutie!
I live with Greyhounds and a crazy Shepherd. The only question is whether I'd have bruises after the race for the ball or not — there's no prayer I'd beat them!
I am about to enter the withdrawal zone! Leaving for the Peruvian Amazon on Monday. Dial up Internet baby!
Roscoe is adorable! And I just love his name š
I have an amazing pic of my Youngest fast asleep on top of the dog– too cute for words. Unfortunately, I don't post pix of my kids to the Web. You'll have to imagine a long-suffering shepherd mix with an eight-year-old collapsed on top and wrapped around!
What a sweetie! Corgis (as you might know) prefer to sleep upside down. š
Life Student – the mental image I conjured up is pretty darn cute!
Elizabeth – that undercuts my theory that Bella has some Corgi in there. She sneezes when she is turned upside down. My mom always said that was a mutt thing (that mutts couldn't sleep upside down without sneezing) – wonder if that's true.
Don't give up your theory – JF sneezes when upside down (therefore, precluding deep, restful sleep). š I've never heard that mutt sneeze story before. š
Hmmm… I'm going to have to investigate this one!
