Not only are my dogs cute, they may possibly be the world's most spoiled as these pictures show.

Lovely soul-deep-searching stare from Pippin, Paul. :)


And hello to Magnus and Nelke!

I feel obliged to a spontaneous responce and ask:
"Dear Magnus, Nelke, What would you like to drink and eat? Tea, coffee, warm milk with some crispy walnut cookies? And any other particular soft spot you'd like them served other than the puffy couch? Anywhere you please, just name it! :D "

Lovely shots everyone! You know how to capture them at their best...

Lonnie,

Great pictures, I especially like the one of Blue. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with spoiled pups allowed on the furniture.
