Introspection

as the quietest, best behaved, least photographed (and possibly grumpiest (I take after AlphaB)) member of the SUMD pack, I spend a lot of time contemplating the turn of events that lead me to be part of a big (in size and numbers) dog family.

While perusing the web is search of insights to help me cope with this, I came across a blog by a dog named Spencer .

He is an only dog. He has a great life. He was going to be a movie star - but decided it was too much like hard work. I want to be an only dog and have a life like his .

On the other paw... life in the Tigh Gadhar pack does have SOME compensations.

I get to rat on the big dog.

I get to steal his bones:


I get to lead Tealeaf a merry chase:

(and beat him up occasionally)

And... I get to outrun them ALL!

I think that is good to be an only dog in the house, but sometimes I'd like to be part of a pack. You are luckie!

Have a nice day

Awesome photos. You guys are really poetry in motion.

Being an only dog is overrated. I have to have another dog around or I get separation anxiety. But then I'm also a jerk to other dogs.

Masochist? Or sadist?

Oof, Cleo, I'm worn out watching you charging around.

You even eat a bone energetically.

But you are very elegant too. Sigh - another beautiful dog just too far away......

I agree with the above. That last photo is amazing. I feel like I might be run down by a might group of dogs any moment!

Looks good but you SUMDs do not take the time to view the scenery!

Short legged dogs appreciate the finer points of life.

Great Pics!! Just slow down a bit! It is no wonder you spend the rest of your time sleeping!
