Deep Hound Dreams

Ben snores - loudly. His distinction in this area is surpassed only by his ability to fling drool across the room, and oh yes, he's pretty good at smelling, too. When he's really snoring, you can hear him anywhere in the house. Many years ago, Ben figured out that napping on a leather chair is much more comfortable than napping on the floor. Smart dog.

He's claimed the chair as his, and from the sound of it, it's working out for him very well. He needs his beauty rest; his night cream is no longer taking care of the gi-normous wrinkles around his eyes.



After a long day chasing birds away from the bird feeders, barking at quail on the other side of the fence, and patrolling the backyard for mice, snakes, spiders and stink bugs, Jake prefers to nap on the couch with a fluffy pillow. He looks pretty happy to me - almost grinning. It's obviously been a good day.

Jake also likes comfy blankets - the bigger, the better. He prefers being wrapped in blankets fresh out of the dryer with just his head sticking out. He normally follows this up with his wickedly absurd 'Shorthair in a Blanket' skit - which is a real hit with his in-house fans - and absolute proof that we watch WAY too much Monty Phython.
