the ride home from my parents seemed extra long.
it could be the sheer exhaustion felt by all of us from the day before spent at WORLDS OF FUN.
in the 105 degree heat.
i was having flashbacks of africa….all the walking around….sweating everywhere….in flip flops.
it could be that our AC is almost dead in our (stupid dumb) truck so it had to be BLASTING.
i don't like to listen to that for very long.
it could be that we had to stop at 2 redboxes because our dvd was scratched at the1st one.
and when we are not driving fast (or waiting at a red box) the AC doesn't work at all.
it could be the illusion of slow driving because of highway construction on our "faster" route.
bleck.
but whatever it was….waffle and i were bored.
so i took pictures of him.
because he was two inches from my face panting his dog breath all over me.
i think he likes attention.
serious waffle.
"don't make me sing"
blue steel waffle.
happy waffle.
trying-not-to-make-eye-contact waffle.
this one is my favorite.
i took all of these pictures by holding out my arm in front of me and waffle.
i gave him a flea bath tonight.
he was very unhappy with me.
Erwin Calverley - Looks like both you guys had a lot of fun in the car, huh? Waffle is a very cute dog. He’s like my beagle Lou. He loves to keep me company in my long road trips.
Nicole - My dog Fifi is also kind of dramatic when I take photos of her. And I kind of love her for that! <3 Going on a road trip with your family and your pets is such a great thing. Just always pay attention to your dog so he won't get stressed out while you're on the road.
Oliver Ganns - Obviously, you love your dog so much! Look at his pictures; they are all SUPER CLOSE-UP! =D It’s nice when you have a car. You can go wherever you want and have some quality bonding time with your family, and with your pets!
Maesie - I think that the second one from the top, he is making an Annie face.
Nike Air Max 2009 - I have to share your sentiments about sewing. I really want to
be able to sew, but so far the only things that come out good
are things that are square, ie: pillows, or quilts or linings
for purses. I tried a top…yeah not so much.
Melanie - My dog need a bath too:) Cute photos.
Deb - I love Waffle and it made me want to touch him thur the montior! 🙂
Meredith - Poor Waffle. He can’t help it if he’s ridiculously good looking.
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Ok – you made me spit at my monitor – “don’t make me sing” – Hi.larious.
julia - when you’re stopped in your car put your left foot on the brake (or put the car in neutral) and give it some gas. it helps.
MommaH - Hilarious. I love your dog, and I’ve never met him in real. I would love to have a Waffle of my own. But the cat would no doubt protest. She doesn’t even like other people here!
Lia - He is one of my fav dog. When i convince my fiance we have to get a dog as soon as we are married I am going to get one that looks like Waffle.
Rebecca - This one really cracked me up. I loved how you put the captions in there for each picture, especially the eye contact one. Our dog used to do that too. So funny! Thanks for the laughs.
Staci - I just love that dog 🙂 And your sweet family too of course 🙂
www.Kellyloves.wordpress.com - ohhhhhhh … I love Waffle!!!!! so freaking cute!

Linda Johnson - Bless his precious heart, so glad you took him on the family outing, your family is all he has you know.

Thanks again : )

heather - Blue Steel Waffle! Too funny!!!!!! Love it!
amy jupin - i swear i smell dog breath. yuck.
i can’t believe you posted about making rock pets/monsters. we are doing that this weekend!
Ruth - blue steel waffle!! brilliant. sorry about the dog breath, that’s pretty gross.
Liz Woodard - Okay, Waffle is a cutie, but 2 hours of his panting in your face??? yeck. that is why we have a portable dog kennel for the back of the minivan. Our dog (JT, black lab mix) loves to go for rides and hops right into the kennel when we open the back. Just thinking about how you endured his invasion of your space both there AND back gives me the heebie-jeebies! lol
Amanda - A Waffle post is just what I needed today 🙂 He is so cute!!! I think the only time I comment is when you post about Waffle. I read all the time and love your blog. Thank you 🙂
jaz - I love the nose shot!
Gee he looks like a happy and contented dog! Loves his family doesn’t he 🙂
Katie - I love Waffle. Your pictures of him make me smile. : )
Kelley - now I have tears from laughing over the Don’t Make Me Sing comment. that video clip was awesome and I love the reference being tied to a Waffle pic!
Christine Ishmael - It’s funny, cause after you read the “coming home” post…you scroll down just a bit and see your happy “going to grandma’s” post…what a difference a few days makes! Keep cool!
Kari - It could be your fan clutch on your AC. I had the exact thing happen and they replaced the fan clutch and now the AC works great!
Lynette - Blue steel…..hehehe! Great pictures!
Kit - I think I just smelled his dog breath…
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - I actually laughed out loud. The one that is so close that it’s blurry cracked me up. You bored to tears taking pics of your panting dog…tongue inches from your face….just too funny. Thanks for that…I needed to laugh:) Oh and the don’t make me sing! HA:) I want Waffle. He is just so stinkin’ cute.
betsy - “But they’re making me sing, so I have to!” 🙂 Thanks for the laugh this morning!
LOVING Waffle’s end-of-summer cut … I had to trim Minnie up a bit because it’s SO hot & was taking forever for her to cool back down when we came inside.
Minnie sits on my lap when I drive. Try that for doggie breath in the car! 😉
Courtney - Ok, I’ve been a silent follower for a while now. Why did I choose to make my 1st comment on a Waffle post? Because he’s damn cute & you made me laugh hysterically with the comments.
Keep doin’ what you’re doin’. Good stuff!
Tonya @ More Than Enough - OMG…the “don’t make me sing” comment totally made me snort! I think you need to now try for a “don’t make me dance” waffle shot! 😉
Morgan - You said Worlds of fun so you must go to Kansas City every once in awhile….if you do, have you heard of Good Ju JU? If you havn’t, you NEED to go. It is on the first weekend (fri, sat & sun) of every month. Check it out online. I live in Boston, but my sister lives in Kansas City, and I went this past weekend… and drooled the whole time! And, I thought of you and many other bloggers that I think would have a ball in there! So much fun, and would be so worth the trip to KC (even with the boring drive)! Good Ju Ju. Check it out!
linda - i am just so glad that we were lucky not to have the odor that you endured with the cutiepie in your face. my dog’s breath makes me GAG it is so foul!! i literally burst out laughing with your “don’t make me sing” comment. too funny!!! i so look forward to your posts!! thank you!!!
Karen Lehmann - oh the flea bath! I think one Boxer “Han Solo” who might live here, needs said “flea bath”! He’s spending night itching – And keeping me awake!
Laura Phelps - I love Waffle more than I love my husband.
Wendy - “Don’t make me sing”…. bahhhaahaa!! Too funny! Love Waffle! 🙂
joycee - The pack, it’s all about being with the pack! No need to know where you are going, you’re just included! Humans could learn from these simple pleasures that dogs have!
Cate O'Malley - haha, too funny, and too cute!
Jaime @ Mamarazzi - again?! is it weird to have a dog-crush on that cutie-pie?!
if you ever get tired of him…
send him to arizona… i’ll gladly take him.
very cute pics.
Kelly - I love the Waffle shots! I hope he was at your parents when you were at the amusement park. You may not think so now, but it was a great idea to take him with you! My mom won’t let me bring my dog when I visit. Can you believe that?
Kimberlee J. - Talia is going to LUV these pics of Waffle—a little less intimidating than the big guy himself. 🙂
Holly - ok the ac in our truck only works on high or low up front and I cant stand it when it is on high so I turn it up in the back and keeo it on low in the front. It usually cools off pretty quickly. Glad I am not the only one that gets annoyed by loud ac!
Niki - Gemma, redbox is a nifty invention! They are little movie kiosks that are all over the US (mainly in Walmarts, outside McDonalds, Wallgreens or gas stations). You rent movies using your credit card and you are charged $1.00 a day per movie (up to 25 days, after 25 days it is yours if you haven’t returned it). You can return it to any redbox location anywhere (so it is great while you are traveling).
Meg, you are a braver woman than I! I hate being hot. There is no way I would do amusement park asphalt when it is over 100 degrees! What a woman you are!
Gemma - BTW what is a redbox?
Gemma - So cute! My dog does the “trying not to make eye-contact” face too…weird.
