I've been sick much of the week. A fun cold/sinus type of thing that makes it difficult to sleep or breathe or function, really. Just booting up the laptop to do today's blog post is making my head ache. I'll make it quick.
DuPont is the kind of dog who you would think would just be a real PIA for a person who is under the weather. Like I told some folks yesterday: Just brushing my teeth exhausts me! I'm home from work today so as not to continue passing my disease unto others. I was only mildly dreading a day at home with the wild child that is DuPont. But when I sat down with my coffee and my blankie and the boring morning news to try and rest, DuPont jumped up next to me and has remained there since. I haven't gotten up and neither has he!
This has been my view.
He's so pretty.
Anyways, DuPont shifts his sleeping position every twenty minutes or so. He's been sleeping in some interesting positions, and ever the photographer, my trusty camera is always on hand to capture them.
Some are adorable, some make my back hurt. Some are just down right odd.
Like this one.
His legs are, like, woven. Like a basket.
He's such a good dog. Maybe he can sense how I am feeling or something. He's being very sweet today and just hanging out nearby. That's fine, because I need another nap. Ugh. Sick sucks.
But if this is going to be my view all day, I think I'll get through it.
I should have called it 'Bulldozer DuPont who steps on my feet, trips me on walks and thinks he's the worlds best lap dog' blog, but there weren't enough character spaces...
DuPont has a ton of fabulous qualities, but he's not for the weak minded or the faint of heart. If you are considering bringing DuPont into your life, I encourage you to read this blog in it's entirety and make sure that you are prepared for a dog like him.
The photos you see here of DuPont being relaxed and happy and fun are the result of hard work and structure. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You do not have to run him 5K every day, but you do have to put him to work and ask things of him on a daily basis.
The result? A calm and happy household.
