Polka Dot Puppy

By Lorraine

Raider visited the groomer a few days ago.
His stern face and jutting eyebrows belie the
bandanna he wore home.
Perhaps the upside-down peace signs are appropriate
Ever since Raiders encounter with the honeybees this past fall, I have
noticed spots where he didn’t used to have spots!

 Kind of unusual.

You’d never know from looking at this face just how sweet he can be.

He likes to find a comfy place where he can also keep an eye out for intruders that might be passing by.

When the coast is clear…

 he feels it is safe to drift off to sleep…

 sweet boy

    How cute! I love the bandana.

    Thank you for visiting my blog. I've always been interested in photography – just beginning to learn a new DSL and hope to share more photos in the future.

    Blessings,

    Hi, thanks for coming by our blog. We are so happy to meet Raider and we went back to your past post to read about his encounter with the honeybees. What an experience! I can almost feel what you went through that day. That must be frightening. Raider is indeed a fighter to have came through that incident. I guess those spots will disappear in time but so what if they don't as long as Raider is all well and good.

    I don't see a stern face there at all. Raider is a fraud, you only have to look in his eyes to see what a sweetie he really is!

    He's just teasing you! He really is smiling under that stern look on his face. I think the spots are his battle scars. He should wear them proudly. He survived! He's a sweetie.

    Oh, Raider really is a cutie pie. I wonder how
    my little Toby would look in a bandana. At
    this point I don't think I could find one
    small enough. Sorry about the bees! Poor
    darling!

    Great photos of Raider! He is so handsome and I have no doubt that he is the sweetest thing ever. Those bees certainly left their mark. Several years ago, I stayed with friends at a summer house with all our kids (at that time there were 10 all together) and several of them had bees up their shirts because someone stepped on a nest. Yikes! We were ripping clothes off kids as fast as we could trying to get those bees to stop stinging. What a nite that was. Hope you are having a great day. Tammy

    Are those spots scars from bee stings? He sure is a handsome boy; so distinguished when he poses.

    Adorable little guy! My poodle (that passed away last October at 12 yrs old) also had an area on her back where she got cut by barbed wire (poor baby) and it was darker than the rest of her fur. I'm guessing it was just where the scaring happened so maybe that's what happened to your little guy.

    Very cute pics – thanks for sharing!

    God bless you – Julie

    What's not to love about that face? It's so good to see Raider fully recovered even with a few extra spots.

    Your 'Raider' is as handsome as a show dog. He could strut his stuff with the best of them I think! I love to watch those dog shows on tv. I get excited when one is coming on, which isn't often, what? around Thanksgiving. We don't have a dog, we used to have a boxer though. Thats another story. =)

    thanks for liking my sewing efforts! I'm so happy with the results and only wish I'd done it years ago. I didn't realize how faded out the old quilt was…and what a happy difference it made!

    Good for you, getting your laundry all caught up, that is a big job I know, laundry multiplies so quickly when you turn your back for a few days! I wish for the wisdom and energy to somehow?!? tackle and organize my craft/sewing/storage room. Ahh…one of these days. Its pouring here…I hope you are having a cozy evening…

    He is a sweetie. Do you suppose the spots are over some scar issues from the stings? You'd never know how sick he was to look at him now! xxoo Diana
