Working Dogs

Our Sunny is a real working dog. That's right, he works real hard at being a clown. So when I visited Sandi at The Green Pea yesterday I was inspired to buy Sunny this cute orange tie for fall. We'll work into his Halloween costume next month!

See how hard he's panting. It's not because of the tie. It's because while I was trying to take his photo a bicyclist rode past our yard and Sunny had to work real hard at chasing him away. Poor guy. I've never seen anyone pedal so fast. I felt bad but I knew Sunny couldn't get out and just wanted to race to the corner. It was kind of funny seeing the guy ride like crazy with Sunny in hot pursuit, his orange tie flying in the wind. At least he was happy to sit still for the photo when I called him back.

Now this here is a real working dog. Barney is in charge of customer relations at The Green Pea. That's why he has such a serious tie! It's important to make the customers feel welcome and he does a great job. I can't imagine him ever chasing anyone. He doesn't move to fast. Even though he looks a lot like Sunny he is a bit shorter. Sandi calls him a "Labrasset Hound". Now that's a designer dog! The handsome looks of a lab with the calm mellow disposition of a basset hound. I wanted to bring him home but Sandi said no. I think next time I go I'll take a big duffel bag and see if I can roll him over into it and sneak him out! Besides Sandi I got to meet with Becky from Sweet Cottage Dreams and Jean from In the Garden with Miss Jean. I'll post all about our fun filled day of antiquing in a few days. In the meantime you can find these great ladies, and Barney, in the list on my side bar.
Loving the labbies,
