All right, enough already with all the family melancholia!
A number of my readers have been asking me to please post about dear Pompey, and herewith I most happily comply.
This photo was taken a number of weeks ago, on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the dining room at Darlington House. Pompey, like many dogs, enjoys a good sun bath, and here he is sitting in one of my very favorite positions of his, with his legs straight out, basking in the winter sunlight streaming in the room's windows.
Ah, me, I do so adore my beloved Pompey!

Awwwww!!!
ReplyDeleteMy retriever/lab cross Joe, adores sun baths too and wood stove heat-Someday I hope we get to meet Pompey.
ReplyDeleteThey do love the sun. Occasionally-disdain the lens when just needing (and little does HE ask!) a little privacy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a little dog with a lot of extra skin, even so while sitting like this... ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!

This made me laugh! I know this face, we call it the "sleepy face" and I think it's one of the things that make dogs so endearing to humans. I love seeing it on my own Golden Retriever when she wakes after being sacked out in the sun.
ReplyDeletePompey looks like he is a pampered pup...love the soft wrinkled rolls on his back...and what a sweet face.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to give him a pat!
Oh, sweet Pompey...you are absolutely adorable. Miss. Ginger seeks out those wonderful sun-patches too, which during this time of year in the PNW are rare treasures indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy 'sunbathing' Pompey...and thank you Reggie and Boy for this sweet image to start the day with!

Cute and comfy pup. Love his relaxed posture.
ReplyDeleteOld dogs are the best.

We love our dogs (and cats) They are part of our families. And more loved than most of my human relatives, I will offer, in my case.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous and almost stoic picture. You almost expect a monocle and a cup of tea in the frame.
ReplyDeletePompey, how handsome you are! Enjoy the sun bath.
ReplyDeleteDear Reggie, thank you for a Pompey post. I adore Pompey. What's not to love? xx
ReplyDeleteoh my comment has disappeared...I said something like your sweet pup looked very pampered and that i would love to pat his wrinkly folds on his back...pets make us happier human beings!
ReplyDeleteWonder why cyber space loves to gobble words...
