Wordless Wednesday: Underdog!

At our house, we watch a lot of sports, and we usually like to cheer for the underdog. (Of course, with the San Diego Padres and Chargers, you're always rooting for the underdog, even when you're just rooting for the home team.)

There are other types of underdogs we like, too, though, like corgis!

They fit so easily under things! Here's Reg, who insisted on sitting under my legs when he came over for a play-date. 

When we used to dog-sit Reg's angel brother, Lou, he would sometimes stand under our bathroom cabinets.
I think he was just avoiding our crazy Abby...
Now Rita has realized we like underdogs and is working on being one too.

She's started sitting under my legs when I sit on the sofa with my feet up on the coffee table. 


Of course, I love it, cuz I think it's so sweet! And sometimes I even get a little kiss or two!
(Obviously it's more important to me to get the kiss than a good photo, since I had to shoot this left-handed. It's terribly blurry, but you get the idea...)

Of course, my love of underdogs started early in life.... Dating myself, but I used to love to watch Underdog, and his gal, Sweet Polly Purebred, on TV!

How about you? Do you like to cheer for the underdog? Is your dog an underdog?

Don't forget...

  1. Bentley and Pierre are both snuggle buddies. They want to be on top of us or as close as possible to our legs. Kisses are much better than perfect pictures! ♥

  3. Sweet pics. When I was dogsitting my "niece" Miso last year (a 65+-lb Old English Sheepdog), she always tried to sit under my legs too :)

  4. We so do that when peeps watches TV. Under the coffee table on top of her feet is my fav way to have a snooze. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

  6. We love underdogs! My 3 may be large, but they still like to be under something and close to mama. Especially Rosie. She loves to lay with her head, and as much body as possible, under my kitchen chair. I have to be very careful when I move or get up!

  7. Oh ya, I remember Underdog too. Roxy is so little, she is always the underdog.

  9. Hmmm, I must not be an underdog because I don't go under much. I do sit under daddy-s legs every once in a blue moon...for butt scritchies, of course. Happy WW!

  11. Reggie is the cutest underdog ever. We're into overdogs here. Chewy is a little goat and climbs up on shoulders and backs of chairs.

  13. Mom calls us her "under the feet" dogs and she is waiting for anymore to hit her head on the table when she eventually trips over us. We love to see that little corgi.

  17. We are 49ers fans so, yeah we had what felt like a century of rebuilding before we finally got back into the playoffs. It wasn't easy or fun to be the underdog after so many years of dominating our division, but when the former underdog emerges, that's what sports is all about. It's a Rocky moment.

  21. Living in MN all of our teams are underdogs that always lose too. I'm not much of an underdog myself, though.

  27. Hahaha, Rita is going to be a tremendous underdog!
    Speaking of sports, we're finding it very hard when watching the commonwealth games, because the people who were in team GB in the olympics are now in separate teams, and we have to keep reminding ourselves to cheer for Scotland!
