Lazy morning in bed with the dogs

Michael sent me this one minute clip of the dogs spending a lazy morning in bed with him.

My favorite part, next to Bruno of course, is Tyler’s face filling the screen at the very end. That’s so much a part of who she is. She doesn’t just “look” at you – she has to be inches from your face when she wants your attention.

Dogs rule.

Dogs rule: German sheperd attends owners church services

From YahooNews: Tommy, a 7-year-old German shepherd, used to accompany his owner, Maria Margherita Lochi, to services at Santa Maria Assunta church in San Donaci, Italy, according to the Daily Mail, and was allowed to sit at her feet.

After Lochi died, the dog “joined mourners at her funeral service” according to locals and “followed after Maria’s coffin” as it was carried into the church.

Tommy, a stray who was adopted by Lochi, has been showing up “when the bell rings out to mark the beginning of services” ever since.

“He’s there every time I celebrate mass and is very well behaved,” Father Donato Panna told the paper. “He doesn’t make a sound.”

None of the other parishioners has complained, Panna said, and villagers give the dog food and water and allow him to sleep nearby.

The article goes on to illustrate more stories of dogs loyalty.  If you love dogs, you have to read.
