Mattie sits in front of the quincha, welcoming or daring anyone to enter…

Mattie out in the quincha, or dog house, on a lazy afternoon. The only amenities lacking are air conditioning and heating, though it does have a fireplace. Spoiled puppy.

Mattie is looking for company on the sofa. What’s better than being comfy and getting belly rubs?
Mattie goes up the stairs a bit more slowly than she goes down. Here, her Sharr tail is in full plume as she climbs the stairs for the night. She usually stops midway to make sure someone’s following her.
Mattie goes down the stairs often, and it usually looks like a freight train doing a barely controlled fall.

Mattie lets us use the sofa every once in a while, but even when we do, she just gives us a bit of the space to sit on. Here, she just stretches out and enjoys the comfort.
Mattie strolling into the house as if she owns it. Of course, she thinks she runs the place. Anyway, this picture shows our nice, wide “carport”. It’d be hard to fit a car inside!
Mattie all curled up and asleep one evening. She was on part of her bed.
Just sitting out in the back yard after the lawn’s been cut.
It’s a Sharr tail going up the stairs.
