Daisy with beds

Here's another installment in our "resourceful dogs" series.  Alayne had noticed in recent weeks that Daisy had started dragging one of the dog beds all the way across the living room floor and over to another bed she had been lying on, and was using the second bed for a chin rest.  No kidding.  So yesterday, when she saw Daisy doing this again, she got the camera.  Given the size of the bed relative to the dog, her spine problem that affects her rear legs, and the fact that the second bed needs to be on top of the first bed to serve as a chin rest, this is actually harder than it may appear.  But, as you can see above, Daisy got the two beds together just the way she wanted them!

    How adorable and resourceful she is! Hey blog readers, we can’t let up on our voting over the next few weeks, even though we may be off from work. Did you notice that Dennison City Pound moving up in the rankings?? They must have their entire town voting for them! We don’t want RDR to be edged out at the last minute – it would be heartbreaking. So keep voting on all your PCs and on the weekends too – even if it means taking a break from the shopping! Thanks all.

    Wow…this is big task for her!
    Glad the reward was a soft chin afterwards, probably a big sigh too!

    I love all your posts and all the animals on your ranch, but I must say I really love the dachshunds and the posts about their antics. They are something else! I can just picture Daisy pulling this big bed to rest her pretty little chin.

    What a smart little doll! And her beautiful reddish-brown coloring comes through in contrast to the bed underneath her.

    I wonder if it makes her back feel better ? Having her neck straight instead of down. Smart hound! 🙂 Cute photo.

    Daisy blends so well with the first bed that I didn’t even see her, at first!
    Voting is part of my morning ritual, too, 7 days a week, before I even look at e-mail!

    My little guy, Renaldo, who is a dachshund/chi mix, seemed to have brought his blanky to the door with him today when I got home. It was stuck to his collar! Poor little guy. He’s under the blanekts now, sitting next to Mommy.

    We’re on our twice annual (I never knew where “bi-annual” or “semi-annual” meant twice a year or once every two years)trip to California to visit my wife’s family. In the hotel lobby there are three computers and each computer has Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox internet browsers. So I’ve been voting twice on each computer each day – six votes per day! It seems to work and I’m glad to see that RDR is still in first place!

    I love all your animals and their stories. I laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. But, I must admit, I am very partial to the dachshunds. I adopted Fritzy 7 yrs ago. He is now 14. Although I am now retired, he still wakes me up exactly at 5:20 a.m. Habits are hard to break! So, after his morning potty trip, I come up and vote for RDR on my computer. EVERY MORNING! I am also a creature of habit.
