Nothing says pleased as well as Donna, lazily lying there with her rope toy with frayed ends.
Dogs with their well-worn toys.
Surely everyone of us has taken our share of such pictures of our dogs.
Here are six expressive dogs, sometimes beautiful, sometimes quirky.
Every one showing you proof of time that the dog spent busying himself.
Nothing beats a well-used toy… unless it’s a new one ready for the fray! :P

I recently hopped on board the writing process tour. You can see the post here.
I wasn’t able to include Cotton the Maltese in my post that day. So allow me to introduce her now.
Cotton, estimated age 4, is adopted by Jamie from Hope Dog Rescue in Singapore. She was originally found abandoned and wondering in the streets in bad condition. Cotton has a history of seizures and so needs pretty constant monitoring from someone at home with her.
You’d think it is hard to find Cotton her forever home. But she certainly had her lucky stars shining on her. Today, she is transformed into a well-loved girl with a beautiful smile. More about Cotton and Jamie’s writing process here.
Cotton demonstrates the many ways to take a photo of a dog with a toy! Haha!
Will and Eko
The internet demons have left my computer, woohoo! I had to do a double take with SImon, I think he might be Eko’s long lost brother.

Yay! Are coon hounds and ridgebacks closely related? Hahaha I love Eko’s wrinkles!! XD

I love happy ending rescue stories-I lived it myself.

The great thing is, they are demonstrated to be repeatable! ;)
Beth
Barley has lots of favorite toys! She’s very gentle with them, though, so they rarely look worn–her very first toy is 3.5 years old and it’s a little discolored and has a few stitches where the seams started to come apart, but otherwise it’s still in one piece.
Henrietta the hippo is one of her current favorites: http://instagram.com/p/pxdlA7Fk5c/?modal=true
She also loves her love bug: http://instagram.com/p/k8cxTQFk6x/?modal=true
But her favorite is still her very first toy: http://instagram.com/p/mmA39elkyc/?modal=true
We take a lot of pictures with toys ;)
So glad that Cotton found the perfect home! She’s such a cutie and it looks like she appreciates a good toy, too!

Cotton is a cutie! I love all these dogs’ photos, though.
