He sleeps on his back. Front paws pulled up tight against his chest, back legs splayed open, a proud display of his man parts, what's left of them. The tail wags when you look at him even if his eyes are closed. That cracks me up. It would be sweet even if you never heard the soft snore that goes with it all. Occasionally when he's dreaming he snorts and whimpers loud enough to garner the attention of his current girlfriend. She rouses from her own slumber and walks over to him, sleepy-eyed and swaying. Careful to pick out a spot just under his rib cage she punches him in the gut with her nose until he stops. Then she goes back to her own bed and lies down. He hasn't suggested anybody make him a sandwich yet but I'm sure it's coming.
Stella and I are headed to the fairgrounds this week if only for a quick peek at this year's incarnation. Ordinarily, we would've gone today but it hasn't stopped raining here for the last thirty hours.
We did get to dog sit this weekend for Banjo and Ginger so we managed a few laps in their pool on Saturday before the rain showed up. Diesel loves the water. I can't wait to take him to a lake.

Hilarious! And sweet, too. Just like Diesel and Stella. Love reading about those two.
I think you and Stella are really going to miss Diesel!

Do you think Diesel may become permanent?
I'm really glad they like each other and GSC, (great to see you!) we'll definitely miss him. Susan Rose, if I had the means I'd keep him but he and Stella are both high energy dogs and I do well to keep one dog thoroughly entertained :) and I hope to find someone who can give that to him as well. Maybe if that person(s)/family lives here in town, they can see each other and be FFL.
what beautiful writing. and it sounds like things are going well in your home together!
