Clover finished her wrestling match with Daphne and dived onto Fergus to give him a bit of excitement and exercise. Wally keeps himself safe from puppy antics by retreating to the rocking chair. Draco and Snoozy, the two cats in the picture, don't mind a moment of puppy play but they also know how to put a stop to it when it goes too far:
Tired from wrestling, Daphne takes a snooze with her cat buddy, Bramble:
Dog pile! Daphne, Fergus and Seamus do their "nest of baby chipmunks" imitation while Wren works on a rawhide chewie nearby:
All the dogs love their chewies. Daphne had decapitated one when I took this photo. Baby Clover often drags around rawhide chewies as long as her whole body:
Daphne enjoyed a bit of closeness with her big brother, friend and protector, Seamus:
Draco is deaf, so sleeping comes quite easily to him in spite of the dogs playing on the floor below:
That door to the left is my bathroom door. You can see how it is sometimes tricky for me to get in there, picking my way through the dog piles:
And right near my computer chair, Seamus, Fergus, Winky and Wren kept me company:
My two little old curmudgeon dogs, Winky and Wren, are buddies. They stay upstairs in my bedroom when I leave the house so that they can experience some peace and quiet. Wren has recently begun showing the telltale signs of aging and discomfort, so I am bracing myself for what I know is coming. She's had a good life, a long run. I rescued her from the Shelter as they were leading her in to be put down for her "crimes" of being old and fat. I am proud to have had the pleasure of her company and the warmth of her love for all these years:
Have you noticed how much sleeping these dogs do? It's a pretty easy life they lead:
One last dog pile, this time with Wren snoozing nearby:
