Puppy Tongues

I haven't blogged in a few weeks...I think.  It's hard to say because I don't really know what day it is anymore.

We have a new puppy.  Talley is an English Setter and she is now 10 weeks old.  So things are a little frantic, and sleep is sometimes a luxury in terms of getting at least two hours in a row.  We haven't raised a puppy in almost 8 years.

I have been intimately aware of her little pink puppy tongue because, well, puppies chew everything.  Everything.  E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

But she's cute, and actually has been a very good pup.

As dogs get older, their tongues get longer and loll around a lot.  Especially on hot summer days.  Saturday is the first day of summer.  It will be a hot weekend, so I'm guessing there will be lolling tongues aplenty.

Here are some studio shots of dogs who said "hey, it's my tongue and I will show it."

As you can see, tongues are pretty unique.  Like a fingerprint.  Except when you have 7 dogs and someone licked the patio door window and no one will tell who it was.  We have plenty of stock in Windex.
