Opie, The Wiener Dog

We dog-sat this week for my sister.  This is Opie, the Wiener dog.  Apparently he came to the rescue shelter with the name of Oscar--how original--but the shelter workers decided they didn't need one more wiener dog names Oscar, so they changed his name to Opie since he is a red head and has freckles.

 Opie is pretty selective about this food.  But this fact should not be confused with the idea that he really LIKES his food.  Because he does.

 Sometimes Opie looks like he has something to say to you.  But he is a dog, so he can't really say it.

 Other times he squints at you to make you think that you should know what he is thinking, but can't say out loud.  But I'd bet it has something to do with his food.

 Did I mention, he likes his food? 

 Don't let those sort legs fool you.  He is a pretty powerful little dog.  Especially if he smells something while you are taking him for a walk.  He has stopped me in my tracks before.

 His ears are really soft though.

 He is a pretty smiley dog.

 Especially if you seem to know what he is thinking.

But he still does have dog breath.  That is a fact.

 

But this was the look he gave me most of the time he was with us...looking in from the back porch step...willing me, with his eyes, to let him into the air conditioning.

I'm the meanest dog sitter ever.
