Rest up before present unwrapping tomorrow makes you weary.

Terrified of Christmas lights. How could he possibly belong to me!?!?

It is raining today, and I am trying not to complain after last year's snowpocalypse but it's almost Christmas! Plus, Mer is so cute with snowflakes on his little nose.

Love that he is so happy with his frenemy, Stella, that his paws barely touch the ground.

If he's not careful, one of these days, it's going to fall off.

HAHAHA. Merwin was bad so he got shut in the bedroom. His snarky little eye says it all.

This dog has a perpetual worried expression...except at the beach. Here is his "smile."

I thought we were finished with this crazy sleeping places thing, but then I found this gem.

Oh god, I'm this box with wheels again. Where are we going? Is it the vet? The groomer? Are they leaving me?

I've been missing the lake lately so this shot of Merwin guarding the house against the ducks is mostly just for me.

Again, not Merwin, but if we're talking about funny sleeping poses, Stella gets an A+ for dozing amidst her own destruction.

I suppose this isn't that odd, but I do love when all of his legs jumble together like this. Cute.

GASP! Not Merwin. Welcome to Merwin's mom's nutty Christmas madness, Jack. Jack also rests oddly. Jack is a spaniel, too. Hmm...

We've officially moved from strange sleeping locations to strange resting poses. Is this yoga?

A perfectly normal place to sleep but a perfectly abnormal head position.

And again. Crushed between a wall and chair legs. So cozy.

Yes, we all love to sleep with our ears crushed against furniture legs.

I mean, what is this!? Of all the places, why here? Why like this?

This dog is KING of sleeping in strange places. I will prove this to you over the next few days.

I know it's absurd, I know I'm a freak, but yes the Merwin Christmas Countdown is happening again this December. It's the 5th anniversary of ridiculousness and it's not like I've slowed down photographing the little rat so that's that. I'm not going to justify it or try to rationalize it (obviously there is no logical explanation) so I'm just going to do it and enjoy it. If you want to enjoy it, go for it. If you think I should be institutionalized, you're not alone and you can continue to roll your eyes like you probably already do. Besides, if you're actually reading this blog, you know me well enough to understand that my obsessions with dogs and Christmas are too legit to quit. Happy Christmas Countdown-ing!!!

You're seriously doing this thing again? Seriously?
