Friday Dogblogging A Day Early

As promised, here are pictures of “the children,” as they are affectionately known around my house.

Ellie was being a little camera shy today, so no good pics of her.

More after “the jump.”

After finding good homes for the other puppies, Senfronia, Lyndon and Maddox are the remaining “children.”

Lyndon, by virtue of size, I guess, seems to have replaced Senfronia as the natural leader of the maurading heard. For a while it was his sister, since she could literally jump as high as my shoulders and all the puppies followed her on her frequent trips at times she managed to lead escapes of the patients from the asylum, so to speak. Anyway, this is Lyndon, jumping.

This is Maddox, with his paws on the lawn table. That stuff in front of him is crushed red pepper. I was sitting outside eating a pice of pizza with one of those packets of crushed red pepper, and the little punk stole it off the table and ate most of the packet (wrapper and all) before I could get it away from him. What’s left on the table is what remained of the crushed red pepper. He’s also a bit of a biter and likes to pick on Senfronia, for which he has been sent to “time out” numerous times. Well, there is actually no “doggie time out,” I just made that up. But, he does get yelled at when he’s naughty.

Here’s one of Senfronia. She’s also standing at the table begging for pizza.

She was really, really fuzzy in her “younger days,” but has become more sleek. However, before winter, I expect her to have another full coat.

Here’s another one of Lyndon. Tell me this dog doesn’t look like he has an attitude just like his namesake. (I assure you, he does). He’s being a bit more calm here, just sitting in the chair. If you look closely (click for larger image), you can see that Lyndon is blessed with an extra toe on each back foot. It costs $225 to have ONE extra toe removed. Maddox also has the extra toes. Evidently, it’s a common anomality in dogs, or so I’m told. I blame their father (whoever he is). It could also be that Ellie was hit by a car when she was pregnant and given morphine. I’m sure that a pregnant dog receiving morphine doesn’t do anything like cause puppies to develop extra toes.
