The Rest Of The Photo

In the previous post I said that the leg in the photo belonged to Tanner. Well, here's what was going on just before Wilbur stood up and Alayne took the photo. Both boys were enjoying some winter sunshine coming through the storm door. We use towels by the doors instead of door mats because of all the foot traffic -- two, three and four-feet at a time -- coming through, usually with snow attached. They get tossed in the wash as needed. But, when they're fresh and dry and happen to occupy a sunny spot, it's a nice place to snooze, too.

Tanner does not like having his photo taken, which is why you see that vaguely suspicious expression. We've had a number of really cute things to photograph -- like him playing with Bugsy (adorable!), or him playing with Darla (yes!) -- but as soon as the camera comes out, he breaks off the activity. So we'll keep trying.

2014 Shelter Challenge Underway

The first round of the Shelter Challenge for 2014 is underway and runs until March 30th. You can vote every day here. To search for us, type in our name, Rolling Dog Farm, and Lancaster, NH 03584. We've won thousands of dollars in the previous contests, so your daily votes do bring in serious money for our disabled animals!

Please note that I cannot help with technical or voting problems. I also do not have an "inside track" to anyone at the Shelter Challenge, and I don't know any more about the contest than anyone else does. So if you find yourself having issues, please consult their FAQ page here and their Rules page, which is a pop-up you can find linked on this page.

Thanks for your votes!

Tanner is saying "ah, Dad, I only have so much sun left for the day and I am trying to relax....you are bugging me for a picture NOW?"

Just like at our house! We also use towels for indoor doormats, and to the dogs, they are just another nice place to curl up. Tanner sure is cute. Maybe someday he'll get used to the camera and you'll be able to get more action shots.
