Dexter under Goldie 1

Alayne took these photos this afternoon, after walking by the laundry basket bed and seeing blind Goldie lying completely on top of Dexter, with only his head sticking out. He was one stuck Dachshund. This was an even tighter fit than it might appear in the photo above …here's a top-down view:

At this point he wasn't so concerned about his predicament that he couldn't manage to yawn:

I know it may look like a plea for help, but he really was just yawning.

Nevertheless, after Alayne finished taking photos, Dexter tried to get out from underneath Goldie but couldn't. No matter how much he wriggled and squirmed, she didn't budge and thus neither could he. Alayne finally had to intervene and pull him out. Whether he was embarrassed by any of this was not immediately clear.

    I thought dachshunds were the paws-down winners in the Most Stubborn category, but Goldie beat Dexter in this contest!
    Dexter has such a sweet snaggletooth grin.

    Funny! Little Dexter was probably snug and warm and loving every minute of it. Those Doxie’s can never be too warm! 🙂
