An early Christmas present for Hubble from a good friend. And here he is in his new Christmas sweater.
Today’s Dog Quote:
“It made me feel better. Mouse might not have been the smartest creature on earth, but he was steady, kind, loyal, and was possessed of the uncanny wisdom of beasts for knowing
whom to trust. I might not have been a superhero, but Mouse thought that I was pretty darned cool. That meant something. It would have to be enough.”

Oh look at Hubble! Lookin’ sharp, little man! Luv, Vanessa
(Dear Hubble, I see I’m not the only one these humans shame into “staying warm” in the name of cuteness. Let’s bite their ankles! Sincerely, Pierre {The MC})

I am ready when you are Monsieur Pierre!
Thanks all for looking-the poor guy has been really trembly of late, so hopefully this will help some 🙂

It’s amazing how cold they get! Pierre is shaking the entire time he’s walking. He’s finally accepted his little shirts and sweaters, though. He doesn’t like them, but I think he recognizes that he stays warmer.

It is funny Hubble is the same way. Though he did not fight me on putting the sweater on. They know most of the time I think that we are on their side-

Is Hubble about 10 pounds, too?
I think they know, too.

Believe it or not he weighs about 18-when I found him he was about 10 pounds and skin and bones

So that picture is deceiving! He looks so tiny. So tiny, like a certain “big” dog I know.
That’s a BIG size difference! There must have been nothing to him! Poor little Hubble. 😦
Pierre was 8# when I rescued him, so I only had to bring him up 2#. You had a much bigger job!

Hubble was more than up for the job of gaining 8 pounds-he still eats as if every meal is going to be his last-but he runs it all off-

How long have you had him?

Just a little over a year Vanessa-I tried to find a home for him but as you can see, he is still here with us 🙂

Thank you Annabelle-Hubble is what we call in the Southern states a “feist,” a kind of terrier mix that is descended from the dogs brought over from England. They are used for hunting small animals and as watch dogs. Hubble appears to have some German Shepherd in him–he herds Anna when they are outside.They come in all shapes and sizes, though they tend to be on the small side. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting-we appreciate it very much!

That must be where the word ‘feisty’ comes from!

Hubble looks cool in that sweater, doesn’t he:)
I love how you’ve processed this photograph, Meg. It has that beautiful ‘old-film’ look.

Hi Uday-Thanks so much-I was really happy with the way this turned out too-I think it is one of my favorite portraits of Hubble-and yes, he absolutely loves that sweater. I thought he would fight me on it-but he sits very still and “helps” me put the sweater on. Who knew? 🙂
