We have noticed over the years that the smaller dogs have an uncanny ability to find the single hole in a blanket and proceed to get themselves stuck in it. For some reason the hole becomes the only way out of the blanket. Rather than going back the way they came in, i.e., by de-burrowing, they try to get out through the always-too-small hole. Alayne got this shot over the weekend of Wilbur poking his head out of a fleece blanket he had turned into a traveling-across-the-floor bed. And yes, he needed some assistance extricating himself. Meanwhile, Dexter stands by, taking in the scene. He's probably thinking, "Well, at least it wasn't me this time." If you click on the photo for a larger image, you'll see Wilbur has that adorable tongue sticking out of his mouth. Kind of like his head in the blanket, eh?
Ha ha ha... that Wilbur is so adorable!

Instant smile when I saw this. Dexter almost looks like he's thinking "Do you believe this guy?" As for the Wilbster, who knows what goes on upstairs. Love both these little guys!

I, like others here, also cracked up right away as I looked at the photo before I read the story. I just had to enlarge the photo and laughed even more when I saw Wilbur's face with that cute little tongue sticking out.
I always get a kick out of the ingenuity of the fuzzy crew at RDF :)
I really like Celia Brown's idea of a calendar with the funniest photos. That would be a great way to raise money for you all!

Dogs aren't always good at backing up. Also they're mostly stubborn and always hopeful that dilemmas will suddenly evaporate, with or without human help. This combination leads straight to the "head stuck in a small hole" situation. Great photo!

Ok, that does it. You guys really need to make a calendar of hilarious dog photos and put this guy in it as the poster boy. I haven't quite figured out which month he would be, maybe October? Personally, I would buy at least one of these calendars and maybe a few to hand out to special friends for Christmas. It would be a good way to get the word out about how wonderful "special" pets can be.

The second I opened this open and looked at the picture I laughed out loud before I even read the story behind it. Your stories and pictures really start my morning off to a good start!

In this case your name should be "Rolling on the floor laughing Farm". The things the animals think up to keep you entertained...
