Yesterday for our Facebook timeline photo, I posted this photo of my Bailey:

and stated how he is such a bed-hog when other dogs come for sleepovers. He is very quick to settle into another dogs bed or kennel, as he did here on November 22 in Lyra's bed & kennel.

Here's 2 more photos of his settlin'-in:

Quite relaxed, wouldn't you say?

...and not one bit of guilt over it either....

I don't want to give the impression that Bailey just takes over when other dogs are present. While he is bed & toy possessive, he's also very non-chalant about other dogs in his sleeping spaces or playing with his toys.

Today, case-in-point: Both Lyra & Stella, 2 of our regular daytime attendees, felt very much at home in Bailey's kennel which is situated in our dining room area. It always has the door open so any K9 can use it. 

Perhaps it is the very cushy comforter which is what makes it so inviting: :)

The Girls had spent most of morning outside so now we kickin' back

Then just a few moments ago, Stella was doing the ZZZZZ's and Lyra just crawled in too! 

Funny Girls!

And, as previously stated, Bailey freely shares his toys, like this 16 squeaker serpent that Lyra really enjoys! :)

A fun Autumn playdate and dirty paws

With these wonderful cooler temperatures in the morning, the dogs love to stay outside the whole playdate! Here were our attendees today:

Juno & Bailey: Sometimes they sit in the shade

Sometimes they lay around in the sun

There is a significant area of shade heavy with dew when the dogs arrive in the morning and they were VERY rambunctious this morning (see video) 

and while running to and fro, they all accumulated a great degree of dirt on their paws.

I was able to wipe off Bailey's, Lyra's and Juno's, however because of the type of fur on and the color of Stella's fur on her paws, 

I decided I'd better try to clean them as best I could before sending her home!

I resorted to dipping them in water to try to wash off. She wasn't too keen on the idea, so I did it as quickly as I could. See the resulting color of the water!!!!

and the color of Stella's paws: not as good as I wished but not as dirty as before :)

All in all, another PAWZITIVE day at Pawzitive FX!

Being a beagle owner and lover, I just think they're the best dogs!  Here's my favorite: my beagle Bailey
