Things that make you go Aaawwwwww...

We have an antique oak hat rack with a copper base in which to stand up umbrellas. We really don't use umbrellas much in Arizona, so we store dog toys and balls and chew bones in it.

Louie, who is now two, was such a cute puppy. I had the camera in hand one day and caught him crawling into the umbrella stand to take a nap amongst the dog toys. He was about eight weeks old here. And doesn't he look like a little black bear? That was when he had that sweet puppy breath.

Of course, Miles, who is about nine months older than Louie, is a tattle-tale. About all he didn't do is point at Louie with his paw. "Maw, maw, come quick -- Louie's in the well, I mean the umbrella stand!"

Okay, that's a comfortable spot
Okay, that's a comfortable spot
Louie is not picky about where he naps. Just falls out hard and fast.

Down for the count

Nighty-night!

I forgot how incredibly cute he was then! Still a doll though.

AWWWWWW HOW CUTE!!!!!! Puppy breath was like aromatherapy to lift the spirit when I worked at the veterinary hospital.

Thanks for sharing!

Wasn't he though? Makes me yearn for another tiny puppy although we are not getting one and don't need another yapper running around here.

Yep, puppy breath is absolutely intoxicating. I miss it!
