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”…

OH MY GOSH… I HAVE A DORKIE TOO!!!!
Her name is Lola & she is “all love” as my boyfriend says. 🙂
Tootsie is adorable.
Heehee! I’m such a dork. I’ve been thinking of captions for 20 minutes and had to come back.
“Big things come in small packages.”
“Got stamps?”
“I can touch YOUR nose with my tongue!”
Warning… Puppy can’t hold it’s licker. 🙂
Uh, oh… How does this thing roll back up?
long tall sally or give me an inch, i’ll give you a mile!
super cute photos, love the name tootsie..
Too cute! I love puppies, dogs, kittens, babies, all those things that are cute and cuddly. Our puppies had their first visit to the vet today – two little poodles and one yorkiepoo. All healthy, happy, and getting fat.
“Layla and Kevin’s home is jaw-dropping gorgeous. And so am I!”
Super cute puppy!
It’s finger-licking good!
Ohhh she is the sweetest thing ever!!! I must have love like that puppy in my life right now!
As for my caption “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Send over some pops and I will answer that age old mystery”
“KISS who?”
Oh I thought of another:
“I WANNA LLLIIIICCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!”
“So do I have what it takes to join KISS?”
I’m mean lean kissin’ machine 🙂
I’m A mean lean kissin’ machine 🙂
layla: “so tootsie, how was the broccoli??”
tootsie: “baaah!!”
lollypop lollypop ohh lolly lollypop !!!!
Tootsie says, “That’s the LAST time I volunteer to lick the envelopes!”
I LOVE the pics! How about “Tootsie Roll Tongue!” I have two little yorkies at home so the “dorkie” caught my attention – naturally 🙂
“This laffy tafft is delicious!”
Too darn cute. 🙂
“Help, my thongue ithsthuck and i tant gettup!”
“Does your… tongue hang low, does it wobble to and fro?” 🙂
“Doc, what do I do – my tongue is longer than my body?”
“Excuse me Mr. Home Depot guy, can you color match my dog’s tongue? It is the perfect shade for my bathroom.”
“That’s NOT the perfect pink… THIS is!!!”
Cute dog!!!
“I think you;re beautiful and I feel really warm when I’m around you and my tongue swells up.” Buddy the Elf
Happiness is a warm puppy…with a really long tongue.
Tootsie is adorable. I too like the “snoozing on the quilts.”.
Puppy love is pretty special.
say, “aaaaahhhhhh”
“I’ll show you tongue and groove…”
And now I must go get one of these puppies! I have a Dachshund/Chihuahua little boy that I adore – he could use a friend…
o-bee kay-bee! (remember the Huxtable episode, when he visits the dentist?)
The Lettered Cottage always has everyones “tongues wagging'” with the delightful ideas!
“I may be part Yorkie, but my tongue is all Dachshund”!
sooooo very cute! I love small pups!
“Hey Max ever hear of a French Kiss?”
I don’t have a caption, but that it the cutest dog I’ve ever seen!
“Because being cute IS my day job.”
So so adorable. It gives me puppy fever. My Yorkie Maddie just turned 6 today, sweet baby.
As for a caption:
“Ok, be honest. Do you think my tongue makes my cheeks look fat?”
“Who said size doesn’t matter?” That is one cute puppy!!
“I’ll Lick you to the moon and back”!
to lick or not to lick, that is the question
Yuck!! Beets, AGAIN!!!!!
“You want me to sniff your whaaaat???”
“gene simmons ain’t got nothin on me!”
A quote is just a tattoo on the tongue.
-William F. DeVault
say ahhhhh!
so cute! never heard of a dorkie, he looks so like so much dachsund, where does the yorkie come in?
Caption “I didn’t touch it Ma, it just fell out”
WOW that looks SO good, (my tongue fell to the floor)!!!!
Last one, I swear. Maybe.
(That cute lil’ puppy just popped into my head again.)
“This is what happens when you make a dog say, ‘Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers.”
“I triple dog dare ya…”
A Chrsitmas Story
; )
What a sweet baby! Makes me think of : Stick out your tongue and say “aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh”.
Ahhhh, I can’t stand it. Too stinkin’ cute!!!!! It almost makes me want a new puppy. Almost.
“Does this tongue make me look fat?”
