Poor old Chandler is the most patient dog in the world.
In the eight years we have owned him he has been:
- Dressed up in doll’s clothes.
- Wheeled around in the doll’s stroller.
- Taken for tricycle rides in the back tray.
- Swaddled in blankets like a newborn and “put to bed”.
- Hidden in an assortment of hidey holes and tiny spaces while playing “hide and seek”.
To name but a few of the countless indignities he has had to endure.
But the most popular game by far has been playing in old boxes in the backyard.
He’s been taken on adventures on the high seas, played schools in the carton cubbyhouse and driven in the big bus on many occasions.
Here, the children have obviously lost interest in whatever the game of the day had been, yet Chandler waits patiently in his cardboard home for their return.
your sweet dog probably loved every minute with the children. happy summer there! also i love the new header, janine. looks beautiful.
Thanks. I’m just playing while I try to decide what to do about the blog design.
He looks like he’s exhautsted from all of the fun he has been having!
It’s a very tiring job all the roles he has to play in the games.
Awwww…. Chandler. What a sweetie! Thanks for sharing more “wildlife” with us! 🙂
This one isn’t quite as scary as the last!
love the beautiful photo and your sweet tale of Chandler, what a gorgeous dog!
Thank you.
What expressive eyes! Love the list of what has been endured by Chandler. What kind of dog is he? A sweet one for sure.
He’s a Maltese Terrier.
He looks like a soft toy (except for the eyes, of course). Wanna play with him. So nice! 🙂
I’ll send him over – his favourite game to play is dress-ups.
What! No celebrity friends – ah well will have to like you because you are a dog lover then 😀
Great photo.

greetings by my cat!
What a gorgeous dog. My dog, Daisy, has to put up with a lot of torment, too. Trouble is, there are no kids to blame, just me and my husband 🙂
A-DOR-A-BLE!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and “liking” a post. I really appreciate it. Your “About Me” cracked me up. Margie
Looks like he’s enjoying the wait.
I think he was enjoying the peace and quiet.
