Wilbur on throne

So Dexter the Dachshund's overturned bed has become someone else's … well, we call it his throne. As in, King Wilbur the 1st. To paraphrase an old expression: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed dog is king."

Wilbur has basically decided this is where he belongs now. He no longer wants to be in his "apartment." His place is on (or in?) his throne. He sleeps there at night, hangs out there during the day, and is frequently wrapped deep inside the bedding that he's resting on in the photo. (That's when he hasn't moved the bedding across the floor.)

His throne also happens to be next to the kitchen, which he regards as a natural extension of his kingdom. Good things happen there. It's best to keep an eye on it, especially if you only have one eye.

(Click on the photo to see the royal tongue in all its glory.)

    Well Wilbur is certainly a unique looking little fellow. He looks pretty darn content too, seems he has found his spot in the world :)not only on his ‘throne’ but in your hearts.

    Who wouldn’t want to snuggle in all that comfort? Wilbur has the wisdom of Solomon……..perhaps a name change is in order??

    Since this is Dexter’s bed, where has he moved to? and how has he reacted to this “take over” in the kingdom?

    Wilbur appears in your blog a lot. Isn’t it funny how the smallest of dogs can bring the biggest smile to your face and truly win your heart? And in Wilbut’s case that expression and extended tongue is a part of his charm. We love Wilbur blogs. He’s obviously a verry happy guy. He’s lucky to have you but then again, I think you two are lucky to have him!

    Ok, now you have to do an entire calendar of just Wilbur photos, he looks just like a beige version of “Ox”, one of those fetching little Ugly dolls.

    That’s a beautiful throne. And so strategically placed so as to enable him to monitor the goings-on in the kitchen. I’m surprised there haven’t been any prospective usurpers making an attempt at a coup. It certainly looks cozy… and big enough for someone bigger and/or with more seniority, co-regents even, for example, Madison and Dexter. 🙂

    So where’s the Dex-Man hanging out now that he’s been de-throned? Or has Dexter simply claimed a new territory?
