The Guest DD: Whisky, Bartles and Shotzy

I know last week was the guest week, but Harper was one of the first to email me photos and I promptly lost them. So herewith:

“Whisky (left):  This picture truly captured Whisky’s sweet personality, and how much she loved to sit in the sunshine… our lives are a lot dimmer without her”

“Bartles (top):  they say that if you allow a Basset Hound on any piece of furniture, they will expect to sit on all furniture… this is Bartles, relaxing & napping in my husband’s recliner… we’re still working on his manners…”

“Shotzy & Tang:  This is the picture I walked in on one morning while getting ready for work; Shotzy loves her Tang, and Tang loves his Shotzy”.

The Guest DD: Charlie

This is Christy(ACB)’s Charlie. On the left he’s begging for food and on the right he’s informing her that it is time for his night time snack. Hmmm, I detect a pattern.

The Guest DD: Baxter, Joe, and Vader

Monika writes: “In this pic Baxter, Joe, and Vader were politely waiting for a slice of apple. ‘Mom, me next, puhleeeeeaase?!!!’”

The Guest DD: Frazzel Dazzel

Gretchen writes: “Here is a photo of my dog, Frazzel Dazzel. She will be 14 years old in May. She loves to take walks with me in the morning, and then she sleeps here the rest of the day. The pillow that she sleeps on used to belong to my Mom’s Bernese, but she passed away in August. I think, Frazzel likes the pillow because it reminds herof her friend. She just looks too darn cute and cozy in this photo. I had to take the photo when she was sleeping, because she is terrified of my camera.”

The Guest DD: Jordan and Josie

Susan (in DE) writes: “This is a portrait that my stepmother, artist Marie DeCosta, recently finished of Jordan (red collar) and Josie (turquoise collar). The Ormond Beach (FL) Art Museum just selected the image to be used in promotions for their upcoming art exhibit featuring dogs – exciting news!

The Guest DD: Ryan

Joe O’D writes: “As Ryan and I spend a good amount of time in Manhattan, he gets a good mix of country living and city living. One of the pre-requisites for renting an apartment in the city has always been a big window-sill, so that while I’m at work, Ryan can spend hours with his favorite past-time……staring out the window, looking at EVERYTHING. I have a huge number of pictures of Ryan watching “major events” from his perch on 50th and 2nd. The one on the left is Ry watching President Obama driving across 50th St on his way to the United Nations, and the other my cute little boy on the East River Park.

The Guest DD: Biscuit

Amber writes: Me (left in photo), Dr. Jackson & my 11 yr old beagle, Biscuit. He was diagnosed with Stage IV/V Lymphoma right before Halloween in 2010. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment in our clinic. This photo was taken on Wednesday, 2/1/12, and this day was the beginning of Round 3 of 4. He is doing great and is in clinical remission. I am so lucky to be a vet tech so that I can be there every step of the way!

Go Biscuit!!

The Guest DD: Onyx and Cobalt

Amy writes: “I call this ‘How the Daily Digital Influences Me’. One night I went to move the 7lb box of Milkbones, not realizing that someone (read Erich) had opened it during the day. Dog biscuits spilled all over the floor, which of course woke the snoozing beagles. A good mommy would have frantically tried to scoop up the bones before the beagles chowed down, but I grabbed my camera first and took these pictures. And THEN I scooped up the bones. Cobalt & Onyx were very happy! I was too- I had pictures for the calendar I do for my family.”

(Note from Laurie: I made a composite of two photos, that’s why it looks a little odd in the middle.)

The Guest DD: Cody and Henry

Luana sent this darling picture of Cody and Henry. Generally they don’t snuggle in the same bed but they obliged for this photo.

The Guest DD: Buddy

Audrey writes: “A picture of Buddy Houdini – as he likes to sit on his favorite chair – We swear that he was raise with cats – before we adopted him. He “hangs” in the chair arm – usually with both front and back legs hanging down like a cat. He seems to “purr” when he sits in my lap and is petted, and he takes his toys and rolls on his back and plays with them – using his front “paws” Does any one else have a dog that acts like a cat?”
