Lambchop

We were met by the most charming dog, George, at a job yesterday in Hillsborough. He stood at the gate to greet us, but didn't seem to really care about us so much as what we had extending from our feet: shadows. Head bent forward, he would move toward any bit of activity along the pavement. George had the softest coat & he would immediately collapse onto his side for maximum petting potential almost every time any of us would give him a scratch. Here he is after a cuddle from me--

Aside from the odd cuddle & chasing shadows, George really likes to nap. He makes a sweet picture, but I was really struck by his little sleeping partner. Do any of you recognize the lamb? Maybe I should say Lambchop?

I hadn't seen Lambchop for years and there she was sans Shari in a doggie bed! My brother tells me that Lambchop is now sold at pet stores. I guess she could be considered a chew-toy. Who woulda thunk it? From beloved side kick of Shari Lewis from the golden age of American television (and, for me, the golden age of re-runs some 15 to 20 years later) to hanging out with the family dog. -not a bad gig if one could hang out with a pooch as sweet as George.
