Despite the off and on rain, Sparky managed to stay dry - hooray and not totally messy. :-0 He is now home. We miss him already.
Rocky arrived and I listened to his dad say he doesn't play with anyone. Rocky's not one of ours but he has been visiting us for quite sometime. They have an outdoor wedding to attend - poor them as they are certainly going to get wet and boy is it damp. Well, back to Rocky. Rocky has been playing nonstop. I didn't even get the best of his play sessions but he even plays with Stone. Sometimes I think we live in a magical bubble as the dogs always end up playing here even if they are nervous at first. I feel good that they have a good time. We cultivate it, introduce them to dogs we feel they will enjoy and do one on ones. It works.
Think about yourself. If you are on holidays and the holiday is going simply terrible, you most likely miss being home. But if you are having a great time, eventually there is no place like home but you had a great time and created great memories. You most likely will want to go back. If the dogs are not having fun - well I am not. So, we make sure they are.
I hear - does he sit at the door and worry - does he ever want to come back home?
There is no place like home but holidays are pretty darn fun and that's okay for you and for them.
Today it was wet off and on. We have gone in, gone out. Magic was sitting on the top of the cushions outside that I have piled up. I was sitting with a tv tray table out there with water, chips and my ipad. She jumped on my table to get down. She knocked over my glass of water and chips. Chips went flying. water and ice cubes everywhere. No broken glass as we have a wood deck but the dogs went yum chips. hahahahaha
Magic didn't miss a beat and didn't even react. it was as if she said - oh - what a mess - you should clean that up. So, we did and then came inside as it started to rain yet again.
Nathan is home and we are looking forward to tv time. He even brought egg rolls - best in Canada. Nathan and his dad spent real quality time together. It was worth the craziness I had to deal with here so he could have that time. I had expected him to stay longer but he thought the dogs missed him - yes, I am laughing. He probably thought I was working my magic with the puppies.
More rain tomorrow.
