I was taking some photos for a different blog post when this scene presented itself. That's blind Willie, a recent arrival, on the cot. Blind Callie the Dachshund, who has no sense of 'personal space boundaries,' loves to share other dogs' beds, cots, and ... why yes, their food, too. So here she was contemplating climbing up and snuggling next to Willie.
Apparently she wasn't getting good vibes from Beagle Boy because then she shot me this perplexed look. I think that's a "I don't think he's inviting me to join him" expression. (Notice the furrowed Dachshund brow.) A few moments later, upon further reflection, she wandered off in search of friendlier accommodations.

I love the look on Willie's face: "I'm ignoring her as hard as I can, but she isn't listening." Your photos always make my heart smile.

Poor Callie - reaction isn't easy for a dachshund.........

I am sure it won't be long before Callie will have charmed Willie into letting her share his space! She has the funniest facial expressions! Great photo!

Callie, honey, Willie just needs a little more male time alone before you snuggle up. Don't you just want to give her EVERYTHING when she gives you the furrowed brow!?!? She's just too adorable!
