Willie and Spencer in Dog House

Alayne took this photo on Saturday, when it was nice and warm and sunny — and we had managed to convince at least a few of the dogs that it really was okay to be outside again … at least briefly.  Weather-wussitis was rampant this winter, and we're still scraping them off the front and back doors most days, usually just minutes after putting them outside.  So to have a few lounging in the dog house was a good sign. 

You can see how the snow's been melting around the edges of the dog house over the past couple of weeks.  It was toasty warm inside it on Saturday.  That's blind Willie the Beagle with blind and deaf Spencer in the front, with his sister blind and deaf Katie curled up behind him in the corner.

    Kate and Spencer look like a dachshund Push Me-Pull You. I like the way Kate
    seems to be using the other dogs as a windbreak. Willie looks content. Thanks to both photographer and writer for this nice post.

    I am surprised you have not taken a snow blade to the snow around that house. I shovel the backyard area for mine whenever it snows..gotta have a place to go to “work”.

    What a tough life LOL! Willie, Spencer and Katie “braved the elements” and are no longer weather wusses! Pure contentment there for all of them 🙂

    I bet the sun feels nice on the fur. The others dont know what they are missing. Willie, especially with his dark coat, probably makes a real good solar collector. I laughed at the mental image of you scraping all the others off the doors and telling them “go out and play, it really is Spring now, go on, out you go, it is GOOD for you…”
