In case you were wondering, this is what a Lhasa Apso who’s been awake since 4am looks like around 3 in the afternoon:

Doug, Stop The Noise !

by Doug Mataconis @ Friday, April 11th, 2008. Filed under Personal, Tales Of The Dog

As I’ve noted before, the community we live in is still under construction.
I’ve been working from home today, which hasn’t been easy considering that dump trucks and backhoes have been working two lots over.
But I guess I’ve been dealing with it better than Riley has:

It’s snowing here in the Washington, DC area this morning. A pretty snow this time, not the ice and sleet we got ten days ago. We’ll be stuck inside, but that’s okay.
Of course, there’s one member of the family who insists on being outside:

They are the owners of a 10-month old Lhasa Apso, not only same breed as our Riley, but literally the same coloring and everything. Anything, for reasons that I am not entirely clear on, they can’t keep the dog any [...]

A Dog Who Loves The Camera

by Doug Mataconis @ Friday, November 11th, 2005. Filed under Personal, Tales Of The Dog

Riley has been posing for the camera again this week, and asks that I share these pictures with the world.
First, just to show that he’s always been a ham, here he is with his sisters and Mom in a picture we took when we picked him out in March.

Next, we meet Riley enjoying a cool [...]
