Baron sleeping on Wendy

I know I have already posted some holiday photos of blind Stoney and blind-and-deaf Baron a couple of weeks ago, but Wendy M. sent us a few more photos from Christmas Day that I thought you'd enjoy seeing.  When Wendy first came out to the ranch last June to meet some of our dogs she was considering adopting, she had said she was looking for a little dog who liked to cuddle.  Baron, meet Wendy.

That's Baron, sound asleep with Wendy on Christmas, with Stoney snoozing on the floor, after an exhausting morning opening gifts. 

Then, when Wendy was no longer available for use as a bed, Baron settled for Stoney:

And finally, without either companion to sleep on, Baron simply rolls over upside down while someone strategically places a ribbon on his tummy:

For his first Christmas with Wendy and her family, that seemed an appropriate way to mark the occasion, don't you think?

The black dog hair on the carpet is from a new dog brush that Wendy had just groomed Stoney with that morning.  Not that a little hair on the carpet seemed to be bothering Baron at all.

    These are such adorable pictures! I love a cuddling dog. I wonder if Stoney likes to cuddle? Although it would be more difficult to put such a big dog on one’s chest, it would be worth it.

    These are the sweetest photo’s – I can just imagine the sheer happiness these two dogs now experience. That little sleepyface just looks so content with life. Wish I could give him a kiss.
    Thanx Wendy for giving them this.
    Thanx RDR for making it possible.
    Sunshine greetings.

    How endearing are these photos! Baron sure has it made. He’s one happy little dog. Good thing Stoney was there to use as a pillow!

    Another good title for this post: “The Life of the Party.” 😀 I guess Baron won’t be the one with the lampshade on his head, dancing till the wee hours. That’s okay. He’s so cute he’ll get all the attention anyway.

    Looks like Baron gets in his daily quota of naps quite easily. How nice for him to have such wonderful cuddle partners in Wendy M. & Stoney. I just love the pictures. They both look so content in their loving home! They are a couple of cuties!
