It's a dog's life

I've posted a snap or two of the Dog-Hound-Thing before but I'm rather pleased with this effort.  He's  just had his winter coat off and when that happens he's about 6lbs lighter, or so it seems to him.  He bounces around like a young thing again, belying his age...he'll be 10 this year, so he's well into middle age (like us all, eh?!).

I caught him the other day on the front steps, enjoying the sun.  He just couldn't keep his eyes open, even for a photograph.

Picture of relaxation

Those steps are just perfect for dangling those wee paws over.  Quite the handsome mutt, isn't he?
