Rose loves to lay on the grass in the sun even despite the fact she has a thick thatch of fur covering her right now. (Grooming session tomorrow!) Neither of my other two dogs do this and often stand next to her and look as if to say “Are you ok?” Rose also refuses to look at the camera when I try to take her picture.

He’s always by my side and is liberal with little doggie kisses. He’s a vocal protector of his mamma and his territory. Sometimes the barking gets on my last nerve but how can I chastise a face like that? I’m chahanola on Instagram. Continue reading Friday Pet Blogging: Sammy Big Eyes
