Alright.  You knew it was coming:  time for doggie pictures!

For those not acquainted, Winston is a black miniature Schnauzer.  He’s four now and has greyed and browned a bit since his puppy days, but he is still a tender little dude.  Dave and I love him to bits.  If you’re in the mood for more puppy pictures, you are most welcome to get your fill here on Flickr.

Of the three of us, he is probably the one who enjoys the house to its fullest.  We think that having the ability to closely monitor both the inside and outside of the house really appeals to him as a dog, especially when we are out and he is left to defend his territory.  Against squirrels and UPS delivery men.

Here he is lolling in one of his favourite spots, which he just had to settle in as I was taking pictures of the living and dining room this weekend.  (Stay tuned for those!)

Can you believe this guy?

Ridiculous.  Wouldn’t even flick an ear towards me as I took this.  Spoiled dog is spoiled.

I do wish I could bottle up his zen and take it with me to work.

And on that note:  Happy Monday, folks.  Take it easy.
