Tyler our deaf English Pointer has always done things his own way ... whether it's sleeping on shelves, pointing at walls, or sleeping in custom-made gravel holes. If it's just a little different, you can be sure he's done it ... or soon will. So it came as no particular surprise when we discovered in the past few weeks that he had decided to start sleeping in the portable doggie bathtub at Widget's House. This tub has hoses curled up inside it, so it's not exactly a comfy spot to snooze, but it is different and that apparently was the appeal.
So Alayne got this shot of Tyler being rudely woken up when she walked into Widget's House last night to let the dogs out, found him in the tub and started snapping photos. Hence the look on Tyler's face. And it's not like he's embarrassed to be seen sleeping in a bathtub ... just annoyed at having his slumber interrupted by a camera flash.
We're just waiting to come in one day and find him asleep on the stove.
A picture say a thousand words..priceless.

I had a Tyler-twin. At first I felt guilty, then I remembered all the soft, warm beds I gave him, and how he always slept on top of several heavy extension cords that I put down for just a minute, or inside a box of items being packed for storage,etc. Ah, the canine brain!

Totally cute!
Can't wait for the next meditative spot he finds.

Tyler always makes me laugh ! I was wondering what silly things he was up to.

Oh, I'm so confused.........I was certain that Cassie was my forever favorite, paws down, but now Tyler is tugging at my heart.....the nose to the wall photo made me melt........Well, whoever said you can't have two favorites? :)

Different strokes for different uh, dogs. Tyler obviously listens to the beat of a different drum. That's a precious pic of "dog nap interrupted." Nice shot, Alayne!
Big hugs to all,
