Cheek to Cheek

The dogs sharing their bench.

In the old house, Polie spent most of his time on the bench while Angel hung out in front of a French door. Both of them were able to keep an eye on the world. Now, with no French door in the new house, they must share the bench in order to keep an eye on their new world. (Angel is obviously slacking off on the job...as usual.)

They are great watchdogs. Typing up this post was interrupted by vigorous barking, signalling someone walking up the street. Barking interspersed with whining means a person walking with a dog. Whining only usually means they've spotted the neighbors' horses or dogs out in their yards and think they need to go investigate. Whining and running about the house frantically generally means a bunny or quail in the yard. They hate that we give the critters time to escape before "releasing the hounds."

I love dogs, your look so huggable!

Rob - no growling then. Growling came later when they were arguing about who got to look out the smaller side window. I suspect we'll need to build another mini-bench for short little Angel.

Frugal Life UK - don't let looks fool you. The bigger one on the left is not particularly fond of hugs.

She's not sloughing off, they've worked out a 24-hour watch routine. One looks, the other naps, etc. Poor little babies, trying to figure out what to do in the new place...they need a treat...give them a treat. Now.

Sharlene - uh huh. Sure...

I can't give Angel a treat right now because they are hard and she's on soft food for a couple days due to an inflamed tooth. Neither really needs treats anyway as they are both a bit overweight. So there.
