Our Two Weird Dogs

Elmer and Buford are good dogs. Really, they are. But they're weird! They're pretty entertaing and I sometimes manage to snap pictures of their weirdness.

The other day I was in the basement walking on the treadmill (yes, I do believe Hell did freeze over!), and I brought Buford down with me so I could keep an eye on him. I gave him a rawhide bone to keep him busy, and I put the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs so Elmer couldn't come down. Elmer was pretty upset about it, so he camped out on the steps to be as close as possible. Looks comfy, right? Not so much.


I don't really think Elmer feels things like steps in his side. I caught him napping in the sunshine between the kitchen and dining room, and I don't even think he cared he was laying on the step down.


And yesterday I saw him napping on the couch, resting his chin on the coffee table. He was sound asleep.


And Buford....he loves apples. We bought a bushel and a half of apples a few weeks ago, and they're sitting in bags on the mud room floor. Buford has decided they make good snacks, so now and then he'll go in and grab one.


Elmer is always curious about the apples, but he hasn't figured out how to get one for himself.


He makes short work of them!


He's a good puppy...most of the time. :-)


Brotherly love...


And Scooter loves Buford, but only when he's sleeping.

Scooter got some custom made non-slip booties today. I'll show you how I made them in another post.
