Puppy Dog Blog
Let me introduce you to Winston, the ten-year-old Jack Russell terrier that is keeping it real in Saskatoon. Although he is seventy in dog years, he is young at heart. He enjoys sniffing butts and peeing on trees. In this picture, he is in full on sniff mode, as he has detected the presence of a smaller, fluffier creature. He longs to kill something small and innocent, but I am afraid that the children will not allow it. When Hannah was little she caught him trying to eat a baby bird and kicked his bum and shrieked, “Leave the baby bird alone, you BAD DOG!!” Since that day, he has been too stricken by guilt to indulge in his darker impulses. Which is a good thing because Winston’s world revolves around me and I don’t want him putting dead mice on my pillow like my cat used to do. It’s bad enough that he poops when I tell him to.
I love this picture because of the long, drawn-out shadows.
And now for a look at the puppy face! Ahhhhhhhh.
