eat bark sleep

It seems there are three core elements to Baxter's happy go lucky daily agenda.   Eat, which the little kielbasa always hopes to do with much more frequency and bounty is ever afforded him. Bark, at squirrels and bunnies and passersby and every passing cloud that dare invade his space. And Sleep, which is always top on his list after having thoroughly accomplished the first two. 

Despite the consistency with which these three things occur every day for the little kielbasa, tiny chumley often finds ways to shake things up.  Like Easter Sunday, when Sleep meant a lazy doze on the sofa alongside his mom and dad. And yesterday, when Sleep was all about soaking in the sun.






















I do believe there is a secret that all doxies seem to know when it comes to living simply and living well. Eat, so one may bark. Bark, so that one may sing. And Sleep, so that it can all happen again tomorrow. :)

hee hee, miss mary anne, it is pretty swell, except maybe for the baths and not enough snackies. and when u go walkies and your mom n dad aren't fast enough runners help u catch the squirrels that cross your path. (!)

Oh you really captured the soft warmth of the sleeping doxie. Fuzzy, kissable cuteness. M and J

It really is all about the simple things, snoozing in the sun has to be one of the best! Baxter, you're so cute I could just eat you up! ;)

LOL Baxter the chicks don't use the philosophy of "Eat, Bark, Sleep..." They use something more like, "Peck, Flap, Peep!" ;D
