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!!!

No one told me that this may happen after too many puppy kisses. Someone please tell me, Is this permanent?
Layla,give Tootsie a kiss for me.
He is a lovie.
“Do you wanna french kiss long distance?”
Too cute!! We have a 17 year old dachsund/pom mix. They are so much fun.
my caption
“Hey – wash thewe peanut oil in shish puppy chow? My tongue feelth thwollen.”
Just thought I’d send you a link to the striped curtains I made for my daughter’s house a few years ago. You mentioned you were thinking of making some for your house.

I love how her room turned out.
“Gene Simmons, eat your heart out!”
How about
“Oh you think taking pictures of me is so fun, huh Layla? How’s this for cute!?”
“Does this thing come with an instruction manual?”
“I must apologize. I can’t hold my licker”.
Oh my goodness. Check out that tongue!
“consider this project offically Licked”
Now who needed the tongue lashing?
Got peanutbutter?
GENE SIMMONS, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!
“How much longer do I have to say aaaaaaaaaah???”
Great pics!
Way too cute! My caption:
Hey Max! Check this out! Now, show me yours.
SOOO CUTE!!! He looks like he would be saying:::
” I think i could get into “licking” this designing stuff!:)”
“Just a little lick……pllllleeeaaassse!”
Love the pics!
Tell me again….why this is the best way to catch a fly?
“Tootsie, what a long tongue you have. Better off to lick you with my dear.”
“Max is so hot I’m panting”
“Check this out”
“If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself”
“If you want something cleaned right, you’ve got to lick it yourself”
“Streeeeeetttttch”
“Stretch your potential”
“Let me help! I love hanging wallpaper”
“Let me help! I’m a wallpaper magnet”
“My name is Dorkie, Tootsie Dorkie”
“This quilt is tasty”
“This is my quilt, not yours. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo”
“Please take the picture and be done with it! My tongue is killing me”
“Yuck, I hate broccoli”
“Aaaahhhhhh”!
Oh my gosh…I SO want a puppy right now! Any of the above will do nicely, thank you! I am impressed that you let Tootsie sleep on your new quilt! You are such a mommy already, Layla! 🙂
“Bob Dylan had ‘Forever Young”, I have ‘Forever Tongue'”
If I didn’t already have a puppy (who’s here running around like his tail’s on fire) I’d go get one now! Mine has a tongue that can match that! Do you think they eventually grow into them? What a sweetheart. 🙂
“What a dork!”
Say hello to “Gene Barkins” he wants to “Kiss” you 😉
when I grow up, I am gonna be THIS long
“These quilts Layla bought makes me a comfy and adorable bed ~ I think I”ll takes myself a little nappsie poo, stretchie poo & a BIG yawnie poo.” Goodnight all. Love the picture.
OMG, Tootsie is so sweet!
how bout …
“Gag! Did you see that room? It so needs a Lettered Cottage Pick my presto!”
“Thisss isss the bestest quilth forth nappingth on ever. I wonder if the kids will shareth it withh me” (You have to stick you toung out to say this properly.)
I hope it doesn’t take long for me to grow into this!
Sooooo cute!!!
CAPTION…doggie bubble above head:
‘I usually have to check this thing.’
“I’m a giraffe, RAWR!!”
Bet you can’t do this!!!!
“A STILL TONGUE MAKES A WISE HEAD” …traditional proverb.
“The life if a babe”.
Ok, those pictures are too cute! I will have to show my friend. She is a big Doxie fan.
gene simmons – eat your heart out! OR that’s how the tootsie rolls!!
Sticking her tongue out at you, LOL!!!
“Go away, I am going back to sleep”
Great pictures and helpful site!!!
Oh my goodness! Now I want a puppy. She’s darlin’! With a tongue like that I bet the boys are thinking “One kiss from her and I’ll turn into a prince.” ;o)
Uhhhhh…did you see her latest crafty project!? Tacky!
“This doesn’t fit”.
“Ma, Look what I gots!”
Aaahhhhh…. just letting it all hang out…
What a darling she is!
“Better To Lick You With”
How adorable!
“Step right up, step right up, enter Tootsie’s carnival extraordinaire!”
Gene Simmons has nothing on me!!!
They call me “Dorkie Love” …instead of Dr. Love, get it!?
Dorkie… Clearly a breed of dog MEANT for me! As for a caption….
“Can you please lick your own stamps?”
“”Sleepy? Who’s sleepy? I was just stretching my tongue!”
or “Wassup?”
That is one adorable pup! 🙂
