Grumpy's New Chair

HIS CHAIR: Yesterday Rob noticed that there was a pink Lloyd Loom Lusty chair up for auction. Naturally, I decided it would be perfect for Grumps to snooze on in the shed and a great replacement for the white, plastic, garden chair he occupies now.

I emailed in my bid and Rob collected it for me today. Here's a picture of Grumps looking decidedly underwhelmed with his present. For some reason, I don't feel that he's as impressed with my purchase as I was!

MY CHAIR: This is my chair. I love it. They almost match and I'm sure he'll be much happier when I put it in the shed next to mine and he can curl up and go to sleep.

Well, that's the plan anyway...

His and Hers Chairs - I love it!

The look on Grumps' face is priceless! Tell him he isn't meant to use it and then, if he's anything like T&T, he'll want to.

He does look thrilled, doesn't he?

Kaye Manro said...

LOL! Both chairs are lovely.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Jane Lovering said...

Maybe he thinks pink isn't his colour? Poor Grumpy.

Christina Courtenay said...

Absolutely love it, his expression says it all! Maybe it needs a plumper cushion? That's what my dogs demand :D

Janice said...

Arrrhhhh - he looks so grumpy, doesn't he - and secretly delighted all at the same time!

Polly & Ruby, my westies, send Grumpy their love from their wicker doggy basket where they cuddle up and no doubt dream of a pink chair each.

I love the Grumpy photos!! How could he not be impressed with that lovely chair?

D.J. Kirkby said...

Too funny. Love his grumpy little face.

He's adorable, Debs! My dad used to have a Miniature Schnauzer and she was just as grumpy-looking! LOVE the new-look blog by the way - so fresh and bright - nice job!

Oh, lucky find and lucky bid! Grumps probably just doesn't like breaking in a new "throne" chair! Just a matter of time, surely! Eventually could we have a photo of the two of you in the shed in your "his and hers" chairs?

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

Thanks for the lovely comments, ladies. I'm going to find a cushion and try to make his chair as comfortable as possible so he can't help like it.

Anna Scott Graham said...

Both chairs are just lovely! Congrats to you and Grumpy... :)))

Talli Roland said...

Love that photo of Grumps, ha! Beautiful chairs, Debs.

Jennifer Joyce said...

Bless him. He couldn't look more grumpy if he tried :-)

Chris Stovell said...

You won! Not that Grumpy looks especially appreciative just yet, but we all like the photo and the chair!

Rosemary Gemmell said...

Oh, I love those matching chairs! Maybe all Grumpy needs is a cute, comfy cushion like yours.

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

He is the grumpiest dog I know, both to look at and in his personality! Can't help loving the little devil though.

Hope and Chances said...

That is so perfect and cute!

Susie Vereker said...

Beautiful! Perhaps he shd have a nice smelly old cushion to compensate for the smartness of the chair:)

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

Christine - thanknyou.

Suzie - I think you could be right!

Carol said...

The chairs are lovely but you cushion has shoes on it!! I am in love!! (Good grief...I now have cushion envy...clearly I need to get out more!)

I'm late getting to this - as always - but it's well worth the wait for the look on his face. Aw, Grumps looks less than impressed. LOL, love it. :)

Natalie on giant schnauzer training said...

Very nice photo. The dog looks really masculine sitting on a very lady like chair.

Jenny Beattie said...

How fantastic. I love the idea of the two of you sitting in (nearly) matching chairs.

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

carol - I great friend bought me that gorgeous shoe cushion, I love it.

shirley - he's grumpier than usual in that picture. His chair needs to be made a little more inviting I feel.

natalie - lol, I agree!

jenny - we look like a couple of old grumps on our chairs!

Anne Mackle said...

Your chair is lovely and the cushion. I can't stop laughing at your dog's face he looks like he's saying, "I told you not to take my photo again!"

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

Cassam - he doesn't look very impressed, does he?
