As we're bunkering down for another blast of ice and snow tonight, I noticed ol' Cap was curled up in a sunny spot, snoozing away. He seems to sleep alot more these days. I've been wondering if it was old age catching up with him, but after pondering over this situation, I've decided that's not it at all. He's hibernating. Yeah, like a gumpy old bear, he's living on his fat reserves and catching his Zzzz's. He was so deep into Dreamland that I was able to take his picture, and he didn't even know it. In fact, I took about ten pictures before Glynn rudely gave me her elbow and said to knock it off, he looks so sweet and peaceful like that and the flash might wake him. Good advice. Like My Boy always said, don't prod the bear. Anyway, I hope all you doggies and hammies stay warm tonight. Hopefully this will be the last cold spell of winter for us, unless that pesky groundhog sees his shadow next week. If he does, he belongs to me.~Tell

Hi Tell!
Good to see you posting again. That is a great shot of Cap'. We think letting him snooze a bit is a good idea. Then he might be inclined to a bit of bitey face or snow chase when he wakes up.

We had to do a double take to make sure that wasn't Jakey Boy snoozing away. Both of us spent the greater part of the day like that. We're smart dogs, us WFTs.
Bunker down. Stoke up the fire. And try to enjoy this next storm.
Back to nappin',

We are sick of this winter to, roll on the lazy hazy crazy days of summer, well if its like last year we better not blink or we will miss it. We caught lots of rain though.
G'day Tell mate,
Well Cap sure looks nice and comfy.
Glad you didnt wake him up.

Probably a good idea to let sleeping dogs lie! Cap does look very peaceful! We sure hope this IS the last blast of winter. We've had ENOUGH...even here, in Georgia! It has been really cold here for waaaaay too long!
Aire-hugs,

Oohhh he looks so sweet!! We will get in line behind you to catch that groundhog kid...Love A+A
Nope not a bear , Cap looks like one fine handsome square boy Tell. How many years young is he? Hope your Mom has mega treats lined up for him when he wakes up. All that hibernating makes a wiry extra hungry. If that's possible.
Wiry love Eric xx
Tell. I took your advice and went cracker dog this evening - attacked one of my stuffies and gave it a good shake and shake and shake. Then ran zoomies. All only to be wild and crazy and a little out of control. It was great fun!
Thanks for the suggestion
Jake (Fergi watched)
You sure look sweet sleeping. :)

The east coast is getting buried today, but it looks like you are in the clear! :)
