After birthday party photos of Yoshi
Since we actually got a little sun today I got a few photos of Yoshi that I'll pretend I took on his birthday since it rained and rained on that day and we played in the backyard mud swamp. Most of them are with his birthday present of a stuffed wolf which he carries around everywhere he goes now. I got a few decent ones this time because he was a lazy fart today and I whipped out the camera while he was still snoozing. In a couple of the photos he looks really sleepy... you an alway tell if he's sleepy because his ears droop a little sideways (I call it "airplane ears syndrome"
. Yeah, birthday pics!
And of course there's always a few unfortunate shots in the bunch... this one is yet another butt shot I got by accident when some critter suddenly scurried up the tree and Yoshi spun around and lunged after it. There better not be another squirrel building a nest in my tree again this year.
I get a lot of butt shot mistakes. This one was a recent one when he was beating up on his Mr. Lobster toy...
And the grand prize winner of the unfortunate photo shots is the nose photo. I get a ton of these, but this one is especially funny because you can't even tell what it is since this time he actually mashed his nose onto the camera lens just as I snapped the picture.

i'm glad you explained....gosh he's beautiful. 
Looks like he had a great birthday.
He is too cute
I the fuzzybutt. Maybe he knows it's cute and he's showing it off.
It seems like he's always showing him bum to people even looking back over his shoulder to see if they notice. Dogs that have curled up or stand up tails doing that is a lot more strange and embarrassing looking than dogs with tails that hang down. It feels odd to be having "that" on such obvious display that you feel like you should look away. But he does have just an adorable fuzzy bum... almost like a sheep butt, and he has the two perfectly matched thigh high socks, too. It's almost a pity that he didn't make for a good show dog because judges would love his bum and his perfectly matched socks. It's really rare to get such identical socks on both sides.
One time last fall we lucked out with a beautiful Indian summer day so me and Yoshi went for a walk with my next door neighbor their fatso old Bull Mastiff and her little daughter on her tricycle. Yoshi was rushing ahead of strolling lazy fatso dog, Bubba, trying to keep up with the little girl zooming on her trike and blocker her from just flying across streets without looking (she knows she supposed to look both ways at crossings, but he personality is definitely that everyone in the universe better make way for her). Suddenly in the middle of our conversation my neighbor said "oh my god, doesn't he have just the most adorable butt in the whole world!" And it was really loud (she's a rather boisterous loud sort of person anyway). And just when she did that we were opposite a house that was having some kind of outdoor party, and there were a about 20 people on their porch that we hadn't even realized were there. ALL heads turned to us and gaped (I can only imagine what in the world we had been discussing but I really doubt they though it was a dog!). And my neighbor - true to form for her - turns to everyone and says "Well he does! Come and look at the adorable butt on this dog!". I was hoping we would just slink away and burn with embarrassment later, but no, my neighbor had to go and make the most of it. And sure enough, a flood of people trooped off the porch to look at Yoshi's butt. And everyone seemed to agree, yes, that is a really adorable fuzzy butt. Yoshi was just strutting with pride and happily putting his rear on display for inspection and discussion and looking over his shoulder at everyone making sure they all got a good long look. Now really, I realize that my neighbor is a little kooky and would do something like that, but why in the world would a big group of people interrupt a nice barbecue gathering on such a beautiful day just to go look at some dog's ass???
I still laugh about that and probably always will... but I find myself avoiding walking the dog past their house anymore since I'm still embarrassed about the whole thing.
I swear sometimes he points it at you on purpose, too. He always does that to people that he first meets even looking over his shoulder to see if they're noticing his butt. It's funny that most people look a little embarrassed and quickly look away, and I KNOW it's because he's got the "plumbing" on display because of the upright tail.
It's really kind of funny when I walk him at night because so many areas we walk are not at all well lit, and if it wasn't for his light colored butt hair that glows in the dark I'd probably trip over him when he stops to sniff or do his business. And yet in the middle of the white expanse is this dark spot dancing along in front of me. I'm conditioned now to follow the little dark spot in the dark so we don't trip over each other.
