Snips and Snails and Puppy-Dog Tails, or, Jones Tries to Figure Out What the Spoiled Labradors are Made of

Jones loves Augie and Layla more and more every day, and they are so patient with him.  He is very grabby right now, and very interested in all people's features - noses, eyes, mouths, etc.  This also goes for the spoiled labradors.  He is constantly pulling their hair, pulling their tails and ears, poking their eyes, trying to grab their tongues (he's having a lot easier time with that than you might think, since it's like 100 degrees everyday and therefore, they are always panting, putting their tongues in easy reach).  Augie is the most patient with him, but Layla does a good job too, although she'll get up and leave and go hide somewhere where as Augie will just endure Jones' explorations (that's why most of the pictures are of Jones and Augie).

This shows another new thing he's started doing - he walks with his hands behind his back, like he's trying to be all non-chalant, "do-de-do-de-do, nothing going on here, just strolling through the house, la-la-la-la-la ..."

Start off with a little ear-pulling ... notice Layla in the background ... she gets up and leaves right after this:

Move to checking out the back fur:

Neck fur:

Soft!  I love the look on Aug's face in all of these pictures - he's such a martyr :o):

Snuggling (and hair pulling):

You can't tell, really, in these pictures, but Jones is really pulling on Aug's hair - he's like, really pulling it as hard as he can, like he wants to find out how strong the hair is, how it's attached, etc:

I love that the dogs are so good with Jones, and so patient, and so laid-back with him.  It warms my heart.
