My friend Josie came out Sunday night for the family birthday celebration. Although she has no pets of her own, Josie's awfully tolerant of our spoiled and demanding pack, allowing Jack a nice snuggle as Ali Ali looks on.
Ali Ali's motto is "It's all about me!" and he really can't bear to see Jack getting all the attention and so . . .
. . .he moves in, becoming impossible to ignore. Except that Jack does, hanging on to his place in Josie's lap . . .
. . . and when Ali Ali, aka 'The Brat,' has been forcibly removed, Jack abides, with a sweet paw-embrace of Josie's leg.
One night at our house, Josie says, fills her need for canine companionship for weeks. Not to mention leaving her covered with dog hair.
As I said, she's a really good sport.

Love this post! Too funny. Ali Ali reminds me of "I am the Center of the Universe Boone" ;-) I love how Jack perseveres as well. Lastly your friend sounds like a keeper! (and thanks for the tip on right clicking on the spellcheck in the comments box--although sometimes I notice it doesn't even red underline the misspelled words--not sure why that is)

It's me, Vicki, trying to post from another computer. Some folks have had trouble commenting -- Pat in TN, for one.
So I'll see if this works.
Ahh, Tammy, those big ego-driven boy dogs are kinda cute, aren't they?
My response to people who don't want dogs on furniture - That's why they call it FURniture! - A happy guest is a fur-covered guest. Love those pics.
At my house it's cats. Everything looks better with cat hair. Any time the hubs complains about cat hair on everything, I calmly remind him that he agreed on keeping all four, so it's not just my fault. (And I make sure he keeps a lint roller in his desk at work. He usually needs it.) :-)
Since I don't have dogs, I get my dog fix through my pet sitting.
There is a famous interior designer who once said that the perfect English country house look is achieved only by having a few largeish dogs spend time in said interior. I admire and enjoy clean houses with white (white!) upholstery but, dogs aside, I personally am not clean enough for such a decor -- always tracking in dirt from the garden or just living.
Oh Vicki - I just love this post and these pictures!
