I got this shot over the weekend of Bailey using his friend Dexter as a pillow. They were on a bed in the kitchen and the sun had just started coming through the living room windows, and the yummy warmth was causing Bailey to become drowsy. You can see how his eyes are beginning to close. But then Dexter realized I was taking photos so he suddenly sat up to give me quite the pose:
Although they are the best of friends, that doesn't mean Dexter -- the world's fastest-eating Dachshund -- won't try and help himself to Bailey's dinner. I caught the scamp on Saturday night with his head buried in Bailey's food bowl, having pushed his erstwhile "friend" aside. There was no remorse or sense of shame (who am I kidding?), just that annoyed Dachshund "dang-it-caught-again-before-I-finished-it!" look on his face.
ha! I can relate to the sun seeking furry ones. I love the pics!!! And, that is certainly quite the magazine pose!!! Love the hurry up & eat yours & your best friends food story too!

Are they dachshunds? Or heat seeking missles disguised as dachshunds?

Ahhh, doxie's and their love of sunshine, naps and FOOD. Hmmm, I can so relate! I love how you have each other for a pillow Bailey and Dexter!

What is better than 2 dachshunds basking in the sun . . . .

I even moved Tobias' upstairs bed into the sunshine area for him, as he was sleeping on the carpet instead of his bead that was only a few feet away. (but not in the sun). We had abnormal cold weather for our area, so every bit of warmth helped!
Warm hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit
