America's Next Top Model

Right now I am doing an on-line fundraiser for BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport) and I made some new collars to post to my on-line store. Who better to model them than Miss Toni. Happy used to do all my modeling when she was younger and she picked it up quickly and was a natural at it. Toni is a little more timid as she is not sure what the heck I am doing with the little black thing around my neck that flashes at her. With a little practice she could have a shot at being America's Next Top Model. Oh, she could easily win American Idol with her yodeling ability!!!

I live in a house with Really Weird Dogs

Lately, the dogs have been doing some really strange things. It has been very cold here (in the single digits!) so I think they are all getting a little bored and stir crazy as it has been too cold for walks.


Last night Happy konked out in her dog bed and was sleeping so soundly that her head rolled off of the bed onto the floor. Poor thing, but I just couldn't resist taking a photo of it before I propped her head back up.



Miss Toni went "missing" this morning. I got up around 7am and Toni was sound asleep in my bed. At 7:30 she was in my bed -- now she was awake, but pretending to sleep. 8:00 still in the bed. 8:05 she was missing and was not responding to my calls of "Toni, Toni!". I looked all over our house and Toni was no where to be found. And then I saw it, a long brown leg with a big white paw sticking out from under the bed. The big weirdo had crawled under my bed and was laying against the heating vent. She looked up at me with her brown eyes as if to say "I am sorry mom, but it is soooo nice and warm here. Please, oh, please do not make me get up". So I left my little furry weirdo under the bed.
