Ahh, the Cool Weather, the Crisp Autumnal Air
We love the Fall!

A Scary Night for the Neighborhood

Playing Hard!

Panda and Tonka live together but are not the most compatible danes around: Panda likes to pile on top of a puppy pile; Tonka doesn't like a dog to touch him while he's sleeping. Panda is a worrier, Tonka is more carefree. Panda is decent at obedience; Tonka has ADD. Over the years, they've learned to live well together. And they play fairly nicely together now, unless Panda's just being bitchy. The pictures shown here were taken one night after Tonka had acupuncture and both pups were feeling frisky and happy.

It all began with a friendly poke of the nose...

Hey! Let's play. poke. I said let's play. pokety-pokety. now!

Panda the Princess tries to be mature...

I don't know...he's a little too silly for me. Maybe I shouldn't play, maybe I should play hard to get. I can't decide.

oh, I guess maybe I can have some fun. [Panda proceeds to throw herself to the floor and start rolling around].

the decorum of a princess...NOT!

Tonka ensures that Panda will not stop by artfully plopping his paw right on her face and pressing in--a move designed to keep even the most tired Panda playing!

Again, Tonka feels compelled to finally assert himself over Panda. She gamely hangs in there, hoping he'll soon go back to licking her ear.

Some Pictures of the Woo

Come closer, come closer. Ahhh,...too close. Stop stalking.

Tonka wonders if I'll ever quit sticking the camera in his face. No, I won't.

Look at my little boo-boo head Tonka the Wonka...the intelligence staring out of those eyes, the serious expression on his face. Goofball.

Tonka wonders why I make weird noises and point that camera at him. I get the impression he thinks I'm a silly.
