Our friend, Jason, brought over his new “baby” the other day and I couldn’t resist snapping some pics of her when she started to get sleepy.
Meet Tootsie…
She’s a “dorkie” (dachshund/yorkie) and our pooch, Max, is officially in love. The mere mention of her name has him racing to front door at an incredible rate of speed these days.
The first time Jason brought her over, they chased each other around for a good 45 minutes before she finally konked out on one of the quilts I blogged about yesterday…
Aaaaahhhh! That pic kills me! I can almost smell her sweet little head right through the screen!
Here’s a little video of her waking up…
And because we thought this pic of her yawning (no, it’s not photoshopped) was absolutely hilarious…
…we thought we’d throw a “Lettered Cottage Caption Contest” this week!
If you’d like to enter, submit your photo caption ideas (for the yawn-y photo above) in the comments section below and we’ll choose a winner on Thursday (July 14th) at noon (Central Time). The prize…a new puppy, of course!
I kid.
How about a $50 Lettered Cottage Visa Gift Card…
You come up with the winning caption, and we’ll order ya one from GiftCardLab.com!
PS- Speaking of precious new pooches, check out David Bromstad’s new baby, “Miss Lady Godiva Bonbon”…
…and Beth’s,”Eowyn”…
…and Sarah’s, “Peanut”…
Adorable!!!

“I’m so luuuuuuuuuuuvable.”
Any Lettered Lollipops around here?

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
“Hey its hot out here, where’s my Popsicle! ”
Too Cute!
By the way, when you mentioned the prize was a puppy my heart skipped a beat! I want one so bad!!!
Oh…this makes me want another puppy. I thought she looked all doxie. Dachshund puppies are the cutest…but I am partial as that is what I always have – dachshunds. To me they are the only dog that grows up to be just as cute as they were as puppies…well almost. I like the way their little tongues stick to the roof of their mouths when they yawn and then all of a sudden click down. I could almost smell the puppy breath in those photos. I’ll think about a caption.
“So I was thinking something KISS-like for this room… you know, leather, studs, Gene Simmons?”
Too. Cute!
Aw, what an absolute cutie! That “the better to LICK you with my dear” tongue is quite impressive as well! Thanks for the shout out girly. Wish we could get Max, Eowyn and Peanut together for a play date (and fur-baby mommy date)!
“I’m so tired I just can’t hold it in anymore!”
Got tongue?
My caption for the picture would be “Out of the mouth of babes!” The next would be “Yawn Star” ( a spin on Pawn Star). Lastly, “The licker awakes!”. Doxie’s love to lick!
Have fun!!!!
Ok she is adorable–love her!
“I am one part yorkie, one part dachshund and one part frog.”
Oh my goodness totally adorkable!
Leah Marie said mine. I was thinking…
“Did someone say measuring tape?”
“I just woke up, I was dreaming about the biggest bone lollipop ever!”
Now I want one too….
ahhhhh! the lazy hazy dog days of summer are here at last … perfect for lounging on lovely quilts languishing about and being admired for, after all, i AM adorable! you know you llllllllllllllllllluv me!
Wanna bath?

“I’m ready to lick any mess up after decorating.”
“yawn”
…
I was thinking more on the line of the KISS band too but someone beat me to it.. how about “I’m too sexy for my tongue”,,, what a cute puppy!
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop you ask? Step back, I’ve got this…
Mmmmmax! Hubba hubba!
“Tongue and Chic”
No problems touching my nose with this one!
“Gene Simmons got nuthin on me”
Ugh, i hate morning breath
Caption: “This is the shade of pink paint you need. Just look at my mix-stick tongue!”
Great puppy pictures! She doesn’t seem to mind being a “dorkie!”
“You want a giraffe in your room? I’ve got your giraffe… right here.”
I wub those little chubby feet!!!! And that tongue!!!!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute!!!!! I am a huge sucker for puppers!!!!
That tongue may need a roman shade hook up to get it back in her mouth!
Holy cuteness! This post made me grab my little puppy to give him some cuteness snuggles! What ADORABLE PUPPIES!!
I absolutely, positively love “weenie” dogs. I have 2 and they are so much fun to have around, they are natural clowns and love to have blankies to burrow in year round. Tootsie is absolutely adorable, you should get Max a playmate…. 🙂
My caption:
I am Licky-licious!
25% dachshund, 25% Yorkie…50% …*yawn*… tongue
What a cute dorkie 🙂
“No, you cannot have another ice cream cone . . . just look what happened to Tootsie when her mom let her have more than one . . .”
“A little lick will do ya”
I was thinking Gene Simmons too Like “Trademark this Gene!”
tongue in check
To honor the new Harry Potter movie coming out this week-
“This poor puppy just ate a charmed toffee that Fred and George Weasley made.”
That gift card is too cute!
“Eh, that “flurtle” didn’t taste as good as it looked….”
OMG! I’ve already shared that last pic with my daughter and husband, I want a Tootsie of my very own!
She’s saying “I can stretch mine THIS FAR, can you?
Adorable!
“And my paws will grow to be t-h-i-s long!”
“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”
“I’m gonna be a fly-catcher when I grown up!”
My quilt for a Tootsie Pop!
What a cutie – such great photos. I love the one where she is sleeping in the quilts.
