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”…

CAPTION # 2:
“I call dibs on this quilt!!!”
A hard day of envelope lick’n…..yawnnnn!
Caring for your vintage quilt:
Mix one part dachshund with one part yorkie, add moist schnozzle and use long pup tongue to smooth out any creases. Lay flat to dry. Use of warm pup body may speed up drying process.
Oh my well I have a dashound and this looks just like one at least right now. Exactly how mine looked as a puppy.
Ok your gonna think I am crazy…I am a hairdresser and look at allot of those hairdresser catalogs. Have you seen the “Essie” nail polish ads. OMG this would be great. They always have such a cute kick to them. Like one of the latest is marshmellows with the polish dripping down on them and a catchy little phrase.
Ok ok I’m thinking this with the puppy. Maybee it could go like this. The polish dripping down, and the color would be…..
PEACHES AND CREAM…how cute would that be..lol Really look for one of their ads and you will see it I promise:)
“Kiss Who?”
or
“Tootsie Tongue is Tantillizing Terrific”
That last one should have read as….”Tootsie’s Tongue is Titanic!”
“Daddy, I had a bad dream. I was in a Got Milk commercial with a lady who kept trying to put a dress on me. Yechhhhh!!! Daddy….who is Paris Hilton?”
Note to self………….Do not nap, next to the tape measure!
🙂
” Why you looking at me that way? Ya I have a long tongue doesn’t mean you have to stare.”
“Nothing like a lazy summer day!”
“Tongue and Grooooovy, baby!”
The lettered cottage is soooooo tasty !!!!
I die. That puppy is the cutest ever!!!
“I’m SURE the Palmer’s can do SOMETHING with this thing!”
Super cute pups! I enjoyed the video and that photo where Tootsie is snoozing truly melts my heart 🙂
I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Layla and Design Star!!!
Yay!!! We WON!!!! Your blog is a true inspiration this means so much!!
Thanks!!!!
La la la LAAAAAAAA!
“Good fleas, nice fleas…just slide down this fun pink slide… AND GET OUT OF MY HAIR!
Puppies and quilts, oh my, too much stinking greatness in one picture. (Love your Etsy quilts by the way.)
As for my comment, I think that precious pup is thinking something like:
“Can someone PLEASE help me roll this thing back up so I can go back to sleep?!?”
Or perhaps:
“Why, yes, I would like to supersize that rawhide.”
What an amazingly cute dog!! I can’t decide if I am in love with the name of the breed, “Dorkie”, or the dog ?
Caption:
“Don’t worry,,. I’ll grow into it? “
Tired interiors? We can lick ’em.
“Can you color match this?”
“Oh yeah…I would like to see that cat try to get this tongue”
“Get this foot long piece of gum outta my mouth – I’m choking!”
Grandma what a big tongue you have—-The better to give you wet, sloppy puppy kisses with, my dear.
So adorable!
Don’t know if we can do more than one, but just in case:
“Why yes, as a matter of fact, they did name the Tootsie Roll Pop after me!”
Wouldn’t life be funny if people communicated like puppies, licking each other and sniffing each others bums!
“I just LOVE this stick of bubblegum!”
How about:
Panting With the Stars
or
The Tongue and the Restless
Anyone have a measuring tape?
“Oh Layla, I woov (puppy version of love) the quilt you picked out so much, I just want to lick it and eat it up!
How about, “Say AHHHH!”
“If a woman’s weapon is her tongue, I’ve got this one covered!”
So cute. She’s precious and the one of her truely sleeping is adorable!
“So you know that scene on “A Christmas Story?” Well, it kinda happened just like that.”
MOM!!! look what I can do…dad taught me!
“I love my aunt layla, this much!”
or how about…
“Can David Bromstad’s pup do this?”
“Move your curser over this photo to see what I looked like before”
“for what I lack in height, I make up in tongue!”
Such a cutie.
Don’t worry, they say I’ll grow into it!
“Moomff! You shhaid it wouldntf get stufk!”
soo cute!!!
“Nanny-nanny-boo-boo! I got to spend the day with Kevin and Layla!”
Shut the front door! That is the cutest pup ever!!!!
Dachshunds are a favorite of mine, I have four!
My caption: “See my tongue? How long it is? And it’s STILL hard to groom my back without falling over!”
I thudn’t have pud my tun on that tellufone pole.
To his owner “This visit is all really a yawn my good man.”
“i just need some black and whiteface makeup and I’ll be ready to go!”
Ohmygoodness too cute for words! I was just looking at some photos of pets on furniture. I can forget them now. With or without furniture, Tootsie would look fabulously cute!
“Its right on the tip of my tongue. Here…can yew thee it?”
For a caption how about, “the dog days of summer, boy is it hot!”
“So any ideas? Can you presto this for me, Layla? “
OH MY GOSH!!! those puppies are sooo cute!!!!!<3
OMGoodness, she is adorable! They all are. Brought tears to my eyes. I miss our doxie so much! She looks just like a doxie. Dorkie – how funny! “Pre-pasted wallpaper blah!” Thanks for sharing her cuteness!
