#DogsOfEN: Barn Dogs Have More Fun

Did you catch any of the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving? I cannot imagine the primping, preening spa routines those dogs must go through on a daily basis.

Although, is this year’s “best in show” even a dog? Looks like a grumpy ewok to me.

Barn dogs have more fun, no doubt! Here are a few of yours just out there living their best lives, in all their messy glory.

When one dog is super good at being a copilot while the other thinks it’s her job to shove herself under the seat while being 50 pounds #facepalm #dogsofen #dogsofinstagram #corgisofinstagram #corgimom #kelpiesofinstagram #kelpiemom #barndogs #barndogsofinstagram

Tinkerbell had some suggestions about which spurs to use today… #teamcastilla #dogsofen #barnkitty #barncat #rescue #impertinente #helpingpaw #kitty #cat #catsofinstagram #barnlife
