I used to be a sappy, squeezy, snuggly dog person, but after the unspeakable incident of ’03, I have made my heart dead inside. To an extent. So even the cuteness of Tonto fails to arouse a wellspring of joy.
I feel like Jemima looks. Oh, the ennui.
Barely tolerating the wretched burden of this life thrown upon her. She used to be a contender, dining on duck treats in a pre-Hurricane Katrina Big Easy, but then she got craigslisted by the lumberjack-bearded friend of her dead owner and wound up in our back yard, hardly suffering Tontos gladly.
So she chases him. Tries to chase the stupid out of him. To no avail.
Round and round they go, her ten-year-old limbs chasing his younger, jauntier, more bassetty frame. 
And still she is bored. And still he is stupid.
I Don't Get It 
so you love your dogs, but not too much? They’re gorgeous, but I say that as a cat person 😉 Glad they are able to enjoy a chase in your backyard.

I don’t think I’ll ever love them like I did when I used to brush my old dog’s teeth. Maybe if I get another heeler who can sit in my lap like the old one. I love to see all kinds of dogs, but I am jaded. I am turning into a cat.

My what an enigmatic post. Who is the bored one? You or one of the doggies? Your doggies are beautiful. I am a sucker for critters. Dogs. cats. Fish not so much unless deep fried. So once again some real purty pictures.

Jemima is bored. I am tired. Tonto is mentally challenged and despite years of love and attention, still chooses to pee himself. He was from the pound, so no telling why he cowers. But then if you pet Jemima, he gets jealous and butts in and pushes her away. He’s quite rude actually.

Thanks. Tonto stuck his hand through the cage to shake paws at the pound with his sad eyes, and we were done for. He suckered us!

As a bonafide dog guy, I am now a member of the Jemima and Tonto fan club, Kerbey. I’d watch them go round and round for minutes at a time before going back inside the AC. Great photographs. I think you like them more than you are hinting at here.

Dead inside, Mark. Dead. It’s just that dogs are so dang lovable–it’s hard to fight it.

I love dogs, but have in the past 10 years taken to cats, too. I love how dogs seem to have boundless energy, demonstrated by their tails wagging away. Your dogs are adorable and would be happy to watch them over and over again!

I have a face that stirs repulsion from others. They say I should go into radio. Wakka wakka wakka.
