Looking from Their Abode

Here is the gallery.

We have a line of crates under our table. We also have them in bedrooms and in the TV room - all without doors but one that has a sliding door that is left half open. The dogs go in there to have a rest without someone bothering them. Well, today Cassie was in one as you can see above and Murphy was in another. Safi crawled into the one her sister Murphy was in and you could hear this audible sigh as if to say - if you must - okay and it is a small space - meant for 1 dog. They settled in and both fell asleep for a good hour. I kept checking on them as it was so funny and silly of a reaction just to make sure all was well and it was. 

Dogs do have their own sense of exasperation and giving in, I suppose. 

We had a number of dogs departing. 

We had a ton of play and well it is wet out there... but better than the frozen tundra it was.

Nathan still refusing to go to the dr and that shoulder is still hurting but I caught him snuggling with a variety of dogs and suddenly when he was, he stopped complaining. See - dogs are special medicine to the  soul!
