Bartleby Visits


Bartleby, the basset hound, has come for an extended stay-- two weeks while his mom cruises to Mexico and back. He is one of Stirling's friends from the dog park (and helped celebrate Stirling's one year anniversary with us). He is very sweet and when he shakes, his ears flop all around-- it is adorable.

He is impossibly long, though. He is actually longer than Stirling, who is from nose to start of tail 33 inches (we needed to measure Stirling the other day). And, so far, he has not stopped moving. He is sniffing everything, trying to eat everything, and playing with everything. Stirling is a bit unsettled by all the activity. Bartleby has yet to take a nap!

Course, that could be because Stirling is in his bed... She squeezed herself into it. Will will have his hands full as I leave for my work's annual meeting in Boston (my 12th one! I am a bit tired of meetings in January, I have to say). This will be an interesting visit, that is for sure.

Not sure how you moved into such a dog-centric world!

Absolutely priceless! Sniffs and wags.
