a person in 1,563 photos maddy Play opera while looking at this photo and I guarantee you will crack up. Edie hops up onto his lap every chance she gets. Grant is in denial about liking dogs, but they sure like him. Hahah. Uh, little help please? Came home on Saturday afternoon to find Maddy with her head stuck through the blanket-hole again. Couch buddy. ...the Sisters Houndine. Alysha was in town and came for a visit on Friday night. She tried my Kasina Mind Machine and got some quality hang time with... Brought the pack back to mine to hang. On Wednesday afternoon I walked to Washington Square Park to meet up with Ellen. We had 4 dogs between us. Always love waking up to find out what configuration of blankets and butt-to-butt arrangements these two have come up with over night. ...in order to take this one for a nice long walk before the sun got too hot! Thank you, sir. On Monday afternoon, I grabbed my wiener dog and we headed to LaGuardia. Hates a bag. Wants to get out of a bag so bad. Can get out of bag now? Mer came by Saturday morning for a visit! ...and a silly sweatered dog. Conked out! On Friday night, Ellen, Grant, Piper and the Dude came over for a hang. Three-dog couch party Why he wearing that hat? Don't ask me! Haha. These two! Spent Sunday snoozing on the couch and reading with these two wizards. There's a hole in Maddy's blanket and sometimes she gets her head stuck through it. Haha. On Saturday morning, I was sitting on the couch reading when look who came strolling out of the bedroom. ...relaxing. ..of exactly how skilled my wiener dog is at... Here are a few different pictures I took... You gonna paint? I love paint! Getting goodbye chin-kisses from Maddy before heading home! Haha. Loves to have her photo taken so hard. What a lil poser! Dog yawn! Such wrinkle-necked majesty! Had this lil beauty snoozing on the couch next to me the whole time. Jane came over and tried out the Muse! (Maddy watching her! Hahah) ...and then there's an audio-guided meditation session... Lazy smash-faced Sunday Grimple! Took Maddy for a Christmas evening walk and spotted the chickens out in the garden. Christmas Murder on her mind. Squirrels! Come down here right now! A bunch of the elm trees are sick and they are spaypaint-marked for removal! Sad! Merry Christmas! Got up early and took Maddy for a holiday walk to the East River. On Tuesday morning I took Maddy to the vet for a check-up! Healthy pup! Face-restin so hard. View of the holiday table from my lap. Bignosio. Big pillow for a lil dog. I also got this very excellent handset for my cell phone! On Wednesday I got an extra hound for a while! Maddy was getting stressed out with The Dude trying to play puppy games with her so she sought out... ...the safety of higher ground! Stopped off and grabbed the hound on the way back downtown and made it home just after 1am. ...and bone-chewin! After dropping Maddy over at Leigh's, she settled in for some butt-touchin'... Thursday was my last day with the hound before... dropping her off to spend Thanksgiving week down in Hilton Head, SC with my family . ...cool idea - box of sod in a leak-proof box so your dog can pee on reusable grass all week instead of pee pads. Maddy showed some interest right out of the box, but after this one time, I couldn't get her to go near it, nevermind pee on it, again. Cool idea if I could've gotten it to work! Had a bro-down with Grant on Friday! ...then Cat came back to mine for some QT with Maddy. Who wants a treat? Work for it! Later Sunday evening I walked down to the Soho Apple store and got a new computer for my home office! ...but she prefers to hunch herself up alongside the opening! It's designed so that she can climb inside... Got Maddy a new dog bed on Wednesday. I rallied for a late-night pizza party with Jane! Finally got around to unpacking my suitcase and as soon as I unzipped it, Maddy hopped in order to prevent me from taking another trip without her. Haha. Took this one for a long afternoon walk... Excited to have house guests. On Saturday night Maddy threw a party... Monday was Labor Day. Maddy got my up early and we headed over to East River Park. The FDR overpass... Adorable. Met a friend to try out "laying down" yoga. It was nice. Hung out with this one and listened to Fiona Apple on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. Meredith rescued Maddy from my apartment and brought her over in her bag for a tour of the party. ...while walking Maddy by the East River. Tompkins looking lovely. Theresa's mom snapped this great pic of the four of us. Took Maddy for a walk through the La Plaza garden and around the block. Yes, but can you shoot plants with it? Buddy time. On Tuesday Mer came over to spend some quality time with the hound ladies. As soon as I laid down to read, I got two couch buddies. Spent my Saturday hanging out with these two hounds. Came home to find this one looking like this. Not a big fan of fireworks exploding constantly. ...and sitting with Maddy while she chew some rawhide. Hung out with Jane. I feel like Maddy's selfie-game is really strong lately. I enjoyed the last evening of two whole weeks of two-dog goodness, before Randy came by in the evening to take Edie back home. Miss you, Edie! Later that afternoon, I was hanging out with Maddy and Edie on the couch and accidentally captured this action shot of Maddy jumping up onto the couch! Reunited with Dingus! ...and Edie for their evening walk... Eventually, I had to get up off the couch and do stuff, but I made sure to replace myself with a pillow before leaving. Haha. Little, propped-face fugger. ...to read and stay awake when you've got a sleepy cuddler between your legs. Maddy is like... ...so over it. Loves trotting across the bridge. ...we had a pizza party!
