For this weekend's edition of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap, we look into a home that is rescue-oriented and we find some genuine sleepers.
The home is that of Wendy Anderson and these dogs used to be skinny before they fell in with Wendy, who runs the South East 
Dallas Humane Society (See available dogs and ways to help by clicking HERE).
I mentioned to Wendy that the pups looked like they hadn't missed many meals.
She replied, "No, they definitely don't miss any meals. Both 
were skinny when they were rescued, so they deserve to have the 'middle age spread.'"
They are "Tallee" (Tal Lee) and Lincoln. That's Lincoln favoring the glamour look with sunglasses and Tal Lee is a "natural" with a big smile and an elegant mostly white coat -- or, as Wendy describes it "mostly white with brown cow patches."
"Both were rescues at about a year of age," Wendy says. "They were foster failures."
That means, of course, they were just too adorable, too loveable, too "attachable" to move on to the next home. They'd found a place to bunk.
Tallee is "now around 10-years-old and Lincoln is around 8-years-old," Wendy says. "these two have been with me through thick and thin and I could have never parted with them. Both are pit bulls and both are very protective of my 2 1/2 year old and very tolerant of her."
Wendy managed to catch daughter Mariel having a nice "lie-down" with 
one of her canine buddies. She says that Mariel "loves her 'goggies' ."
And, who wouldn't be jealous of the way these dogs manage to work in a good slumber episode? Heck, as long as I'm already too hefty for my own good, I might as well try to flop over and take a big ol' nap.
(To nominate your slumbering critter -- dog, cat, muskrat, pygmy hippo, fruit bat, lemur, wookie or in-law -- for the weekend spotlight of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap, e-mail some dozing photos and info about you and your pal to [email protected]. Remember, at Readlarrypowell.com, sleep is more precious than gold, though, of course, if we had more gold maybe we could get more sleep.)
