Mabel

[daphnep]

Mabel is Lola's BFF, she lives across the street from us. One day a week, Lola spends the day with Mabel. They go to the farm and work very hard, tending horses and pretending to "herd" chickens, eating horse shit and rolling in the mud, and Lola gets to pretend she is a big, tough farm dog. At the end of the day they sack out in front of the heater, exhausted.

Then, one day a week, Mabel spends the day at OUR house. Life is a little different on this side of the street. At our house, we often sleep in til noon, and Mabel gets to come in the bed with the people and the whole family of pets and people snuggle all together. Then, we make pancakes or french toast or something and sit around and drink coffee for a while.

And THEN (because this is MY house, after all) we have a fashion show, and all the doggies get to wear clothing:



(Mabel, you are so cute, with your funny little underbite.)

oh Mabel! has she *walked out* of that disaster of a sweater yet?

oh, Mabel.

No, she hasn't! She got little catfood treats for putting it on, and is now wearing it to lounge around the house. She is queen of the house in her stripey sock sweater, and even Lola is envious of her.

I guess dogs are just that adaptable, and here she knows the sweater is a badge of honor, not a thing of ridicule. She's probably been jealous of Lola all this time. (Actually, I'll probably take it off in a minute, she's TOO cozy. She needs to run and play a little while.)

Cutest photo ever!! It's also probably the best I've seen of Mabel, too. (lxbean the neck and arms look gorgeous - the whole thing does!)

Can I get a copy or can you post it publicly? I know lots of folks who would enjoy seeing it.

Public-ed. Go ahead and save the jpeg if you want, to, too...if lx is okay with it, too. We both think it should be on FB, too.

Ack! The photo did not go public!

AH! I'm sorry. I should have thought of that. I think it's good now.
