Herc is In His Happy Place
Yesterday I spent close to 30 minutes looking for little Hercules only to find him passed out under the covers on the bed with a big doxie smile on his face.
Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want that plate back?
Hercules loves nothing more than getting the cat's leftover food. Once he's cleaned the plate, he shreds it into tiny pieces and leaves it for me to clean up.

I told Hercules the dog treat bag was empty, but, based on the look on his face, I can tell that he doesn't believe me.

A Monday Wake Up Call for Monkey
Monkey was burrowed so far into the blankets that, had it not been for being short one dachshund at breakfast, he might have kept on dozing right up until noon
