Wilbur in front of fire

During the recent cold snap we fired up the wood stove in the living room to help out the heating system, and the spot in front of the stove became an instant favorite. The dogs took turns lying or sitting in front of it. Alayne took this photo of Wilbur enjoying the wood stove warmth. Funny how the camera can make a 7 lb munchkin of a Chihuahua look so large, huh?

    Yes, he certainly does look solid from behind! One of our dogs has an unusually large head for his size. He’s only 15 pounds, but from his head you’d expect something much bigger than the long skinny body that goes with it.
    That wood stove looks very cozy. Glad you made it through the cold snap OK.

    Wilbur does look cozy, but you’re right about the camera picture from that angle – reminding me not to let anyone get a shot of me from behind!

    We could have used that wood stove here in Tallahassee, Fl. last week. 30 degrees. Instead, our cat and dog demanded the electric blanket on our bed turned on for their warmth and enjoyment. And just where were we supposed to sleep!?! On the sofa??
