I spent the weekend at a gaming festival, playing board games and role-playing games and other such silliness. I met a lot of neat people and also a few neat dogs. This one is Emmett, who played two games with me, along with his mom (in one) and his dad (in the other). He was, of course, the Most Valuable Pupper.
Both he and I are well over the average age for attendees — at least in scale.So we both needed a little extra rest.I made sure to sit next to Emmett both days. I mean, games are fun, but I have my priorities!
Mikey (6) likes it! And ‘it’ in this case is people. He also likes being the star of his own adorable instagram page: mikeythelittledude.
Ridiculous ears? Check! Ridiculous tail? Check! Fluffy chaps? Check check check check!His ears aren’t USUALLY like this, but I love them this way.God those eyes. The puppydog-eyes game is strong with this one.
Polo is only ten months old! And if he maybe looks a bit like he was put together out of spare parts, the important thing is that they are adorable spare parts!
Looks more like a pointer than a spaniel in this pose.Cocker ears. You just want to wrap yourself up in them like a blanket.Typical cocker goofiness.
I told Tipo he was a good boy and he immediately went into a play bow, with only his tail moving. You can see: he’s 100% sharp except for blurry tail-stub.
When I was hitting the Howl-o-ween party, the first dog I saw, I said, “Wow! Is that a Eurasier puppy?” And Cirrus (6 months old) ran over to me and covered me with kisses, so I must have been right!
For a second I heard his name as ‘Cirrhosis’. Quite glad to be wrong.This is from 45 minutes later, when I ran across him in the venue. He’s always like this!
So here’s a funny thing: this is the fourth Lakeland terrier post I’ve made on this site. I posted a picture of Posey the Lakeland on August 5th of this year, and noted that I had seen Posey before, in 2019. And that I had only had one Lakeland before that, an eight-month-old puppy named… Reilly!
Reilly is now eight years old and still just as full of spunk as he was in 2017 when I originally snapped some shots of him.
I have finally given up torturing myself for not noticing repeats until I search for them. My memory was not made to hold ten thousand dogs.
Whuf! Today was a LOT. On Saturday I broke a crown (that’s a tooth thing that you will find out about soon enough, for you young’ns). Today I managed to finagle my dentist into seeing me at ridiculously short notice and got to her office at 12 for a 12:30 appointment. I was in the chair by 12:15… and at 12:40 a woman who was nine months pregnant with a potentially life-threatening abscess showed up.
I was in that chair until 5:15. I won’t say it was the longest day of my life, because honestly not even close. It wasn’t even my worst vacation day. But it wasn’t something I’d prefer to repeat regularly.
And then! On my way home! I ran across this adorable little fuzzball. Meet Auggie, the one year old Havanese. Well, technically he was one yesterday, but since I didn’t even know he existed until today, I think we can be excused from celebrating his birthday one day late.
By the way, we have had one Auggie (here), two Augies (here and here), and one Oggie (here), so Auggie here is in good company!
Sorry if the pictures are a touch blurry. By the time I got out of that dentist it was already getting dark. (Happy daylight savings, everyone!)Also it’s really hard to get non-blurry pictures when the dog is as hyper and squirmy as Auggie.
