Hound In Hole

Yes, it's another dog-fits-perfectly-in-hole shot, this being blind Jake the hound. He's been in this play yard for three years now, and it's the first time we've ever seen him choosing to sleep in the ever-widening hole. Alayne took this photo on Saturday.

You can see that we're losing the battle to keep the dog yards green and grassy. If you compare the photo above to this next photo we took for a blog post back in 2010 of blind Austin the Beagle in the same -- and then much, much smaller hole -- you'll see how much grass we've lost in that area:

Jake says, "Well, at least the hole is the right size now."

Today is the last day of your calendar page on the Travels with Ace calendar. I think I will leave it up a bit longer to enjoy those Rolling Dog pictures. Thanks for every post that gives us a window into your life with the dogs and the life on the farm.

Well Jake certainly looks comfy! And believe me, I can commiserate with you on the grass issue. The grass on my lawn was looking pretty nice before I rescued my dog Radar 1 1/2 years ago. Because he runs so fast and kicks everything up, it's not so nice anymore :)

I guess you've just got Holy Hounds! I miss voting every day, so looking forward to the next round.

Yes, looks like a very comfy hole. Too bad about your grass. They don't call spring in New England "mud season" for nothing!

It's always more important to be comfy than to look nice. :>)

Dang, that looks comfy. I like to do the same thing.

Your photos and stories always get my day off to a wonderful start!

So glad to see you guys had nice weather over the weekend too so the doggies could lounge outside in the sun. I'm sure they all loved it.
