my heart is returned to sister winter

hello. i am sick, and that is my excuse for the dearth of dogs around here. i selected two dogs for today, in an attempt to make up for the past few dog-free days. first, nurse minnow, guarding the sickbed.

and second, the long-suffering miles, who after being rescued from the dog spa was apparently forced to wear the handmade hello kitty crown and cape that stella received for christmas from her uncle mark. what a good sport.

 

give it to someone special

although this dog-of-the-day* will be vacationing at a north carolina dog spa over the holiday, i will get to see his buddy stella the day after tomorrow!



*miles, redux. as i mentioned, i am running out of dogs!

please have snow and mistletoe

your december fifth dog-of-the-day is none other than...

miles! buddy miles is minnow's north carolina cousin.* he is a sweet, soulful dog. one time i blew gently on his nose and made him pee. i guess i was expressing my dominance over him without realizing it. he has since forgiven me.

stella redux

there weren't enough pictures of stella in that last post. i like this one of a wide awake stella and me:

















and i also like this one of me commiserating with miles:
