I know, there’s supposed to be only one winner this week, but the prize was a (heavy) locking leash, and two pups posted travel pictures: Eva, a Papillon, and Sandy, a Golden Retriever. What on earth would Eva do with the leash, if she won? So here’s my solution: Sandy wins the locking leash, and I’ll send Eva a PurrfectPlay.com felted ball (I had two that were new in their packaging, and gave one away a week ago). Congratulations all ’round! Genny, please send me your mailing address, and I’ll send you and Eva your ball (I have your address already, Lanae).

And that brings us to this week’s picture, taken almost exactly a year ago, of a Barcelona dachshund cooling his belly on the sidewalk. I know exactly how he feels.
