Toby the Blankie Boy

Toby has really wanted to emulate Rich Skipworth's greyhound as he models blankies. So, being the indulgent dog parents that we are, we relented and purchased two cute blankies for Toby's photo shoot. He was just okay with the dog print one, but really felt like the other one brought out the inner tiger intensity of his personality! 

Toby did mention that he felt like the King of Dogs in this blankie!

Elegant Toby the Tiger!

I am Tiger, hear me roar!!!

Happy to be me...Toby the Tiger! I am so handsome, aren't I!

My cuteness overload broke the camera!

It is a team effort to get Toby to pose for photos. Drew, aka "The Treat Dispenser," did the hard work of convincing Toby to hold still for a microsecond or two.

Then, Toby would say, "The heck with the 'stay' command, Dad, I need a treat. This is hard work!"

Toby is such a cutie patootie!

Toby goes for two walks a day, and one of those walks is often on the Hix Small Cemetery Road and Sheen Road. Being the photogenic hound that he is, we take oodles of photos of him!

And he is so obligizing of us. He often senses or smells deer and other animals and his ears perk up to full attention.

He loves walking around the cemetery and often has a smile on his face.

Of course, as he ages he pants more and even drinks water every 15 minutes or so. He is a happy boy, for the most part.
