Because I'm running short on time and because I'm out of nude model posts (Sorry Kathleen!! :)). I'm tossing up a photo of my pooch's paws. If he's lying on his side, he always tucks his paw around the other. This makes me smile every time. He's a big bruiser of a pooch, but something about this gesture seems so refined, almost dainty.
UC- is dog blogging better or worse than mommy blogging?

from russian circus
dogs-which partly explains
their engaging quirks. have

Good morning, dave! I had not heard that. I'll have to check it out. He is indeed quirky. He's a goof, very big, very strong, but very sweet. He's a very flirty boy and yes, he has quirks. He likes to press his forehead against you. He'll put his feet up on the chair and press his forehead on your chest or arm. Our old hound was never very into being touched, he just had to sniff everyone's breath. If you had just gotten up or were just coming into the house, he wanted a breath check. You had to puff some air into his face and then he'd snort and go away. He did this with all of us every morning. I always assumed he was making sure it was still us and that we hadn't been taken over by the Pod People!!!

maybe he was a canine breathalizer
checking your alcohol levels!

Can we refrain from using adorable beyond AG discussions? Please.
Nice half-naked Thursday post.

well, not nearly as adorable as you, AG.
i just got ahead of myself. my bad.

What I find amusing about this shot, is that it looks like your dog could be small. Which is *decidedly* not the case. Smooches to the pooch.

dave- our sniffing hound may very well have been testing. For all I know, he was working with the gov.
AG- is half-naked better than 3B's half-assed?
Claire- no, the pooch is NOT small. I keep forgetting you got to experience his rather bovine head. Before I forget... Welcome to your new home! I hope all moving went well.

Dog blogging is always appropriate. Especially if you give them funny captions or describe their odour on the frito scale.

since your dog is naked, and you took a picture of him, I think this qualifies as nude model blogging. Jennifer is obsessed with nude models, people!!! We need an intervention. We should all show up in robes, so as to keep her calm and unthreatened.
Posted by: Kathleen | August 30, 2007 at 01:40 PM
Oh.My.God. Kathleen is right! My dog is indeed nyude and... I photographed him! Or at least his paws.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 30, 2007 at 01:45 PM
Do you pet him while he's nude, Jennifer?? After you've taken his picture??
I'd say you might be breaking the rules!
Posted by: blue girl | August 30, 2007 at 02:38 PM
BG- I did indeed pet him, but only after I put the camera down so the posing session was over. And... he did not ask me out, however, he did ask me to let him out. I don't think that counts as the same thing.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 30, 2007 at 02:44 PM
Maybe he's been asking you out for years and you've never quite understood doggie speak properly. You've only been letting him out. And on his way out, he thinks to himself, Man, she just doesn't dig me, I guess.
Posted by: blue girl | August 30, 2007 at 02:47 PM
Not only do I dig him, but I allow him to dig... that's why I let him out. I'd go out with him if he asked, clothes or no clothes. He's very charming.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 30, 2007 at 02:50 PM
Dave, no problem. I just want to make sure that everyone understands here who is indeed adorable and who is indeed NOT.
AG- is half-naked better than 3B's half-assed?
J-Lo, you know that answer! Anything is better than that sad, tragic and lame blog. Gawd, I hate that blog more than Altmouse some days.
Posted by: Adorable Girlfriend | August 30, 2007 at 02:55 PM
snicker.
Posted by: daveminnj | August 31, 2007 at 07:02 AM
:)
dave- I've put up another portion of the dog.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 31, 2007 at 07:17 AM
My Happy is the same way. When he lays his 110 lbs of massiveness down (not on his side), he crosses his paws, looks at you, and sighs. So Cute.
