Give a guy a chance to rest a minute will you.

[Hillscreek]

After a busy day in the fields hunting voles, field mice, rabbits etc. then back home alerting me to loud voiced crows, chasing a couple of squirrels, making sure I do a small amount of housework correctly, announcing the UPS guy with his special 'UPS guy here Mom' voice, a cairn needs to rest. Angus likes to squish himself between me and the edge of the chair - a very small space. He rest his chin on me while he thinks and nods and naps.

He doesn't like to be disturbed. Sorry Angus, I'll put the camera away and go back to reading quietly - might even take a nap myself.

Great shots. He is sure giving you the stink eye in the first one! A familiar expression to all of us.

Lola here. I agree completely. We have so much work to do everyday!  Mathew (my upright brother) accused me of being lazy as I took a nap late in the evening. I took umbrage with that. I had been up since 6 am, inspecting the yard for intruders (birds, squirrels), yelling at the neighbors' kids to keep the noise level down, alerting my mum and dad of the mail man, deliveries and the window cleaners' arrival, being a food critic when offered meals, supervising the uprights' every move, rearranging the stones in my yard, rolling in bird poop to keep my coat smelling good  and my 24/7 job of guarding the house!  Then he begrudges me a little rest. The utter nerve!

It's a thankless job!

Ahh yes the Cairn stink eye.....much like the Cairn scream of death, no other dog has ever perfected this art as they have. It's a look of total boredom, underlined with a don't push me upright. 

 

Rosie here. Well Angus  can look anyway he wants as long as it's at me....sigh.....
