Attack of the Killer Yorkies

 by Jeremy

You can't really tell from this picture, but these Yorkies were about as small as a Yorkie can be, outside of a mother's womb. This may have been their first untethered walk (umbilically speaking).

That's a guess. The title. At her name.

Funny Face

 by Jeremy

I photographed this annoyed looking little dog -- I think it's just that the sun was in his eyes -- in New Paltz, New York. I really don't know anything about him. I don't even know his name. Let's just call him R. Pooperminster Fuller. That might be his name. Who knows? I didn't ask.

Just Get the Damn Sneakers

 by Jeremy

This was a very sweet dog, so my title is unfair. But we had difficulty engaging him in conversation because he needed to keep his attention fixed on the interior of the Amherst shoestore in which his human was taking too long picking through the shoes. I think he has an excellent profile.

More Guest Dogs

 by Jeremy

Patrick Lasswell.

Here's what Patrick tells us about these two:

"Two cute dogs waiting in the back of a pickup truck at the Forest Service / BLM offices in John Day, Oregon. These kids were waiting in the truck when we arrived, but when we were leaving the building, they had gone out in search of their pal. When they heard the door of the building open, they loped back to the truck as if they had been there the whole time. Once they realized we weren't there to enforce the rules, they went back to looking around. Clearly these dogs were used to taking care of themselves on the farm."

Guest Dog

 by Jeremy

Today's Waiting Dog has been brought to you by Patrick Lasswell. Below is a picture of his dog, and a bit of explanation from Patrick:

"Here is The Bruce waiting to get back on the trail so he can sniff and mark. Bruce is accepting the pack as an anchor because he is well behaved...when closely watched. At 90 pounds of muscle, Bruce can haul the picnic table around."

Brother and Sister Lovingly Welcome Their Humans Home

 by Jeremy

The following is genuine telepathically and auditorially overheard dog conversation:

Spike [a deaf dog, seen below on his hind legs]:
"You sure you heard them drive up, Lexie?

Lexie: Yup. Their car goes zuzz-zuzz-zuzz-tickety-zuzz-zuzz. Cara's car is the only other one that sounds similar, but hers goes zuzz-zuzz-tickety-tickety-zuzz-zuzz-zoom."

Spike: So you say, muchacha. But I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes and smell it with my own nose.

Lexie: Suit yourself, Spike-o. But I'm going to go ahead and bark. Woof! Woof!

Spike: Woof! Woof! I thought of barking long before you ever did.

Lexie: That's what you say, ass.

Spike: Woof! Rowf! What makes you think I won't bite your neck, bitch? Roof! Roof!

Lexie: You want a piece of me, pussy cat?

Human from behind door: Stop fighting, you two!

Krypto, the Dog of Steel

 by Jeremy

This waiting canine with the expressive face was, to my eye, the spitting image of Krypto the Superdog. Turns out not to be the same dog. But this fella (gal?) was a bit of a raconteur. We heard some cool stories about the squirrel that got away. Stuff like that. Some dogs don't seem to mind waiting at all.

The Pessimist

Heh. Woof! - Woof!- Woof!

 by Jeremy

This old guy was waiting outside at a party I attended some time ago. I don't remember his name, but he was suffering from a bit of canine dementia. His thing was he'd look at you with that mildly drunken look you see pictured below, as if he is saying "heh." Except he would be saying it at the top of his lungs. His bark was not only the loudest and deepest I've ever heard but he'd broadcast it at full volume while standing twelve inches away from you. Your heart jumps out of your chest. However much you may love dogs you cannot stop your autonomic nervous system from pulling all five alarms. He barks like he's at a Who concert and he doesn't stop. Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! - Woof!- Woof! - Woof! -...you get the idea. Eventually he hears his master calling his name at the top of his lungs and does a slow double-take before giving that "heh" look and sitting back down again.

Design Builders

I don't know who this Nick Wohlers is and so I'm not intentionally advertising his business. But if you can judge a man by the character of his dogs, than this guy must be OK. These dogs, waiting patiently while their Mr. Wohlers was in the Black Sheep deli (and there must be some poetry lurking within that detail) were very friendly dogs indeed, though they kept a professional objectivity. A couple of polite Mbooff's through the nose, no clawing or licking or snarling. They had a job to do: guarding the truck. But it was not that they were judging anyone or were on some kind of private property trip.

Waiting Dogs #3

 by Jeremy

This young Northampton (MA) doggie is distracted at the moment by something going on down the street, but he must surely feel stung by the unfair discrimination allowing that other doggie to be inside the store (look carefully) while he's got to wait outside.
