See? Ribs! A waistline! Whew!
Now, if only I could say the same for myself...

Do these pants make me look fat?
After those shots from the other day, especially the one that added about 20 pounds to Rory's 104 pound self, I thought I'd make sure certain people saw some photos that didn't make Rory look like he sits in front of the TV all day eating Doritos.
See? Ribs! A waistline! Whew!

Can dogs get square eyes?
Looks innocent enough, doesn't it? Can you see what Rory's doing?
(This is not as difficult as a "Where's Waldo?" puzzle...really folks)
When my 3-year old nephew visits, I have a rule about when the TV goes on. Loosely interpreted, the rule is simply that the TV is off unless there is a specific show that makes for worthwhile watching, after which the TV is promptly turned off again.
Goodness knows I don't have the same rule for my dog. In fact, I've never had a dog who watched TV. This is Rory watching "DogTown". I understand now why some parents would use television as a babysitter.
It works.
What really gets me going though, is HOW he watches. Sometimes he walks by and stops in front of the TV when something catches his eye, or he paces in front of the TV like he's trying to figure out where the characters are going when they leave the screen. Most often, though, he plants his butt right on the couch like a person. He knows he's not allowed on the furniture, but in the spirit of picking my battles I don't fight over the position that involves his front paws staying on the floor and his hind legs dangling over the front of the couch.
...and Tamzin, if you're reading this, I just want to say that the picture above isn't doing him any justice - he looks rather portly (I'm quite certain that's the word you would use), but rest assured it's a combination of his position and the angle of the camera. He's far too body conscious to get portly....he'd be mortified.
