There is no better way to end a long day than with a dog curled up next to you on the couch.

It’s nice having this little dude curled up next to me on the couch every evening.

Shelly and I have been quite busy lately, which has meant poor Nico hasn’t had much activity.

When Nico is a bit chilly, he tucks his nose into his back leg.

I missed this little face so much over the past week while traveling for work.

Nico loves walking through and peeing on the piles of leaves in our yard.

Nico opted out of posing for a photo this evening.

A sleepy dog.

Those ears!

Keeping the nose wet is important to maximize his sense of smell.

Nico was peeking out from his nest of blankets this evening.

Nico hasn’t had much activity over the past few weeks, and based on our schedules, he has a few boring weeks ahead.

Nico is ready for bed.

I recently got a new car, and Nico has yet to learn that it is me when I come home.

Nico is licking his chops because he’s ready to play with some toys.

Nico has a sixth sense for when the camera is out, making capturing photos of him sleeping difficult.

Can you tell that he is happy?

Nico and I went for a walk in the woods today.

I think Nico hid his toenails because he didn’t want another pedicure.

Nico wants to remind you to practice good oral hygiene.
