goofy dog

We all have our quirky routines right? its seems that Talbot (for who knows what reason) will not go out to go to the bathroom in the morning without me. I usually get up and take the dogs out while 'thanael is getting up and ready for work. Last week one day, Nathanael was off and so he let me keep sleeping and got up and took the dogs out....or tried. Talbot made it to the back door and then came charging back into the bedroom and nosed me until I got up. So...this morning Nathanael decided it was time to end this. When he got up he carried Talbot out to the back door and set him on the back porch. Talbot just sat there and cried. When 'thanael shut the door thinking he would go out in the yard, Talbot jumped and scratched at the door and kept crying. Nathanael came back in to get me to tell me that I needed to see this, but when I went out and opened the back door, Talbot came in, gave me a lick, and then ran out and went to the bathroom! So for whatever crazy reason, that goofy dog will not go without me!

okay....so I am rotten at keeping up with this. sorry! about the last picture, you are right abs...we got Talbot a little rope because Pungo had a big one, but both wanted the other's toy...just like kids, only with fur! And the shaved legs were from Talbot's IV that they had to give him when he had Parvo....you can't even tell now. I totally didn't even notice them when I posted the picture because I was so used to seeing them....sorry.

look closely

what is wrong with this picture?
