Baron sunbathing

Wendy M., who adopted blind and deaf Baron and blind Stoney from us several years ago, recently sent us this photo of Baron sunbathing. Now that is one relaxed and happy dog. (And no, he's not sunburned, that's the pinkness of his skin accentuated by the filter on the camera lens.) More proof that being blind and deaf sure doesn't take the enjoyment out of a dog's life.

    Baron is celebrating Earth Day! Oh Baron, you have got it made. We all need to step back, take a breather, enjoy the moment…. and seize the day. Thanks Baron for the reminder!!!

    A picture like this requires some kind of comment, but I am speechless. Maybe, are you using sunblock?

    So very funny! Of all my dachshunds, my male Dieter is the one most prone to lying on his back and ‘showing off’ the assets. Baron looks SO very comfortable!

    Now that’s a true “Baron of beef,” and a sun-roasted one at that! He’s always a cutie, and it’s grand to see an RDF alumnus.

    @Ann, I did read Steve’s narrative carefully. Yes, I can read!! I know he said it wasn’t sunburn. A white dog in the sun is prone to sunburn just like you and me. It was meant to be humorous. Guess it didn’t work for you. Sorry.
