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!!!

My dog also has an incredibly long tongue. It’s so cute after he has been playing and it’s hanging out to side.
SOOO CUTE! How about these…..
I can clean behind my ears with this thing!
I can’t hold my licker!
Say AHHHHH
Need some stamps licked?
Laffy Taffy or tongue? You decide!
I have my own tongue depressor!
“Just hangin out”
What an adorable little puppy…
KISS ME IM DORKIE
What a ca-ute puppy!!!
Caption:
yawn… “Dorkie… really? Is that all you got?”
I definitely want to win the puppy. Caption–“Gene Simmons eat your heart out!”
Introducing..the newest member of KISS!
What a cute name for the breed! I love all the creative mixes that have been popping up lately in dogs. 🙂
Boy do i love “Fruit By the Foot”. YUM! Bubblegum:)
“Tootsie thought it was a little insensitive when someone yelled, ‘Cat got your tongue?!’ from the comments section.”
They lied to me! This tongue depressor does NOT taste like chicken!
“Don’t bother, Doctor. I brought my own tongue depressor.”
This post is lethal. Puppies are everyone’s weakness. Especially any form of dachshund!! Shame on you for making me want one. 🙂
“One more lick and I should have this corner fixed!!”
“Even the blog Dogs are getting in on finding sponsors, ‘Ad space available here”
I couldn’t resist, I just thought that tongue is so long you could write something on it!! My mom has a dachshund and her tongue is super long too, when she gives you kisses she can get that thing up your nose if you aren’t careful!
“I *will* find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of that Tootsie Pop!”
Drats, now where’d that fly go!!
“No I did not eat the last fruit roll up…why would you think that?”
“You gotta stretch that bubble gum like……this…..before you can blow a great big bubble!”
“So, whuz up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I had the strangest dream. I was a frog, on a lily pad, catching flies for dinner! “
AHH I love that puppy! We have a morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) and I find the designer breeds they are starting to come out with are just plain adorable!
Picture Quote: “Ah, this is the life!”
“I told ya…Gene Simmons is my dad.”
“All the better to clean the back of my head, My Dear”
“no this is not airbrushed!”
“Dorkie Tape. Now in pink. When the job just has to be done, remember, Dorkie Tape gets it done. Now available with a *super cute* dispenser.”
“Life is good. Lick it up.” 😉 (or lap it up. 😉 )
Loooooong puppy kisses!
Caption:
“Look what I can do!”
“just call me Deep Throat”
I must say that is one gorgous baby that Jason has!
“… and you thought the *cat* got your tongue.”
Caption: It was a LONG journey, but I’m finally home!
Love your blog, love your puppy!
“Give me a kiss to build a dream on…”
Go go Gadget tongue!
I vote for KISS ME IM DORKIE….whoever commented above!
“You know what they say about a guy with a big tongue……”
“Want a five second frenchie?”
“Give yourself seven minutes in heaven with this guy!”
I need to get my head out of the gutter, dont I?
Awesome blog…keep up the fabulous work.
Are you a lollipop?
Laaayyyla loves me….That’s what he is saying!
“And dis boys and girls, is what happens when you stick tongue to pole at Santa’s House”
Kiss me, I’m a Dorkie
“What does a dog have to do to get paid around here?”
“man, it feels like a cat died on my toungue!”
“Being chased by boys (aka Max) is one tiring job… just another day in the life of Tootsie!”
“Dorkie Simmons”
“Open Mouth. Insert bisquit.”
“My contribution to Decorating with Yardsticks.”
“That David Bromstead is such a babe.”
“I might be little but I have the tongue of a champion.”
“How long do I have to hold this pose?”
“Open mouth. Insert cat.”
“I need a popsicle to help me wake up.”
So stinkin’ cute!!!!
“How low can you go, how low can you go?”
another looooong day of decorating.
No quote, just wanted to say how adorable!
Can’t think of anything more creative than the one above ” Can’t hold my licker”.
that’s too funny! I want a dorkie, too!!
“Caution: Dog can’t hold it’s licker”
Watch…I can put the “I” in Dorkie.
