Tommy and his ears

Tommy has the strangest ears of all our hounds. They are usually straight up. Sometimes they push together and look like a shovel or a radar antenna. They seem to have very stiff cartilage, so they don't bend and flop in the middle like the other hounds.

Stephanie's Ears

When I first looked at this, it looked like she had four ears. On closer inspection, the shadow is the other set. Stephanie has this sort of unique way of being on alert.

Tommy and Stephanie

Here is another shot of Tommy in Stephanie's space. She doesn't seem to mind Tommy at all when he does this. Tommy's sister, Glow, does not like this sort of thing from any of the hounds.

Glow loves my dirty sock.

Glow is the one that likes to drag my shoes out of the bedroom. In this case she has settled for resting her nose on one of my dirty socks.

Tommy makes an office visit

Tommy is another one that likes to visit me while I am working in my office.

Nap partners

Tommy doesn't seem to mind that his feet are on top of Stephanie. Stephanie didn't seem to mind it either. That was a big surprise.

Stephanie gets her own stack

I piled up some of the other beds, so they all get a chance to enjoy the triple decker.

Triple Decker Tommy

We got some new beds, so the old ones got stacked waiting to be picked up by our friend Dorothy. All of the hounds like nice big soft piles to lay on. Tommy climbed up and settled in on the old beds.

Stephanie's plate after the Vet visit

We took Stephanie to the Vet and they removed the screw. She got some stitches and some antibiotic pills. She is not very good at taking pills and gives us a hard time.

Stephanie's plate

Stephanie has a plate in her right hock from when she broke it racing. It has given her plenty of problems. This is the second plate. Now one of the screws is showing. This means another trip to the Vet.
