Fun Monday #23
Fun Monday is being hosted by Lisa from Lisa's Chaos this week. Here is Lisa's assignment....
Let’s meet your pets. I think most of us have at least one pet and I would like to see your fluffy or scaly pal. If you don’t have a camera you can tell us about him/her/them. If you don’t have a pet tell us about a pet you had or a pet you want. If for some weird reason you hate all animals we want to know why gosh-dang-it.
SUCH an easy assignment. Ok not really. Ok really. Let's just say I have four million pictures of my pet Mushu and as easy as it is to take pictures....it's not always easy picking the ones you like. So I did what any really amateurish photographer would do. I took more.
For those who have never stopped by my blog before, let me introduce you to my dog Mushu. He is an eight year old Bichon Frise. He falls under the sign of Sagittarius as his birthday is December 12th and....too much?
The below pictures are from yesterday afternoon. As you can see, he likes to keep his nose in the sunbeam as much as possible on a sunny day. Actually he will do this a lot if I am below in the front room reading. I will often get the sensation of 'someone watching me' and sure enough I know I will look up and see Mushu peeking through the bannister watching me.
The minute he spots me looking up at him, his ears will perk up and he'll wait for the words he dreams about in his sleep. "Hi pup. You want to come and sit with me while I read?" To which he comes bounding down the stairs and jumps on his favorite big pillow. The pillow he knows he's not supposed to sit on....but he does anyway.
Then his human mom goes all nutty and starts taking his picture. Which he loves. For the first 10 minutes. Then he ends up turning away and refuses to look at me again. Oh he stills looks at me to see what I'm up to, but as you can see he refuses to LOOK at me.
Until I say "Ok ok I get it. You want to come and cuddle instead?" And that? Makes Mushu putty in my hands every single time.
One word.........ADORABLE!!!
Have a super FUN MONDAY!!

That sure is one cute dog Joy, and such an obvious ham too.

Mushu has got to be one of the cutest dogs on the planet--every picture is a great one and shows tons of canine personality :).
Funny that you were compelled to take even MORE!

Awww! He is so sweet! I miss my Sammie in the house, but that's all another post.

Mushu is adorable! I'm not a big fan of little dogs, but he's really cute :)
And just to add a note after reading your comment on my blog...give snakes a chance! They have an important role to play in nature. And most of them are harmless...more afraid of you that you are of them. They can be really beautiful and fascinating to watch. They even have distinct personalities!
Ok, I'm off my soapbox! Have a great week and give Mushu a good rub on the head for me!

He is just gorgeous, no wonder you can't stop taking his photo!
I want a dog to cuddle with while I read.

My mother-in-law has a little bichon frise. He is ancient, and possibly the sweetest natured dog in the world. They are beautiful little dogs. I can see why you love little Mushu.

That nose in the sunbeam is making me melt.
I would be putty in his paws.
Give him a hug from Frances

For a minute there...I thought I was reading Mushu's "pageant contestant" introduction! I love the one with the sidelong glance - too cute!

Wow. He's a photogenic guy. What a cutie.

Mushu is too sweet.

I thought you would go a lot nuttier than that. :) Love Mushu on the pillow and Mushu being shy, looking from the corner of his eye.
