Look at me totally off my mark! I was pulling my best tough guy face when everyone else had clearly decided (even Piper!) that it was a cute and cuddly moment. Check out Piper's tongue! As soon as we saw it sticking out in this photo, we decided to play our favorite Piper-game...
On Tuesday evening, Murdo came by to say hi! Check out Hector all bundled up in his backpack! Murdo rides his bike everywhere and this is how Hector travels with him when he's biking! Hahaha. Sooooo good.
I made it to the bar around 6pm and was stoked to see that Lisa and Pauly had brought their dog Pizza to the bar and that he was already showing off his amazing balance skills on the top of the booths.
Meredith's not much for "going out on a school-night," so I said farewell to her (and to Hector dressed up in his little Hulk-a-mania shirt) and headed out to hit the town all skulled up!
I came home from work to discover a new dog-visitor in our apartment! This little nugget's name is Honey Pie. She belongs to Meredith's classmate that was traveling for a couple of days and Meredith had offered to dogsit! She was the softest, pinkest-nosed Chiuaua I'd ever seen.
When I got back to our place, I was greeted by this friendly, turkey-boned visitor! Leigh had dropped off Edie for a couple of days while she was traveling!
This is one of my favorite Edie pics because you can really see how long and weinery her weird body is! It also does an excellent job of showcasing her turkey-bone which you can see jutting out at what is pretty much a right-angle from the rest of her body!
Animal FunTime Party House got even better when Leigh came by and dropped off Edie off with us! Look how excited Meredith is to have two little lap-weasels!
On Tuesday night, Meredith and I were coming home from dinner in Nolita and we passed David's apartment. We called for Lord Alred and he ran to the window to greet us. A couple of minutes later...
About an hour after we'd finished lunch, the rain finally stopped and we headed back out onto the beach where we made friends with a very friendly, albeit very bitey and very smelly beach puppy!
At another bend in the river, we were greeted by two more dogs who were excited to see people in the river. They were running back and forth and barking like crazy - and even went so far as to wade into the river to get a better look at us. It was really cute.
Every time Meredith would start to put her tube down and get in the water, Crookjaw would start furiously barking at her! He didn't want to be left alone!
After an epic seven hour nap (traveling in Thailand can be pretty exhausting), we spent what little was left of the day lazing around and reading on our bungalow's front porch where we made friends with one of the local stray dogs! If you look at his mouth you'll see that it looks like he'd broken his jaw in the past and it had healed a bit crooked with led us to dub him Crookjaw the Friendly Dog!
After visiting the Wat, we stopped by a nearby travel agency and booked a trip to Khao Sok National Park, the largest protected forest in Thailand! Meredith took a bunch of pictures of me at the ATM...
Later that night, I woke Meredith (and Rocco!) up from their team nap and we packed up all of our stuff so that we'd be ready to head to the airport and catch our flight to Thailand! After we were finished packing, we headed out for dinner!
"Reading and relaxing" very quickly turned into "lapsing into a food coma" and we both woke up five hours later! Hahaha. Here's Meredith and Rocco waking up from their nap together!
Meredith stuck her tongue out to do an impression of Piper and right when I snapped the picture, Piper (who is a notorious face-licker) saw Meredith's tongue sticking out and WENT FOR IT! Hahaha. I love this photo soooo much.
Here's Meredith enjoying Piper's cornchip-scented ears. Mmmmmmm! Piper has the longest tongue in the world. When she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue is always peeking out because it's too big to fit in her mouth!
Here's the photo that the drawing is based on! Piper the puppy bounding across the carpet at Leigh's house and licking her chops with her huge tongue! (How fucking cute is this photo?)
