This past weekend, our friends Nick and Elaine, and their puppy Rocco, came to visit. It was wonderful to see them! Most of our time was consumed by watching the dogs play. While outside (we took them to the park twice), they were fantastic together! They were both very content running around and enjoying the freedom. At home, it was a slightly different story. Bailey was not as loving and gentle toward Rocco as I expected her to be. She growled at him...a lot. Although I think much of that growling was playful growling, some of it was definitely a little meaner. Bailey seemed to have fun playing with Rocco for a while, but given the fact that my girl is 6 now, she just doesn't have the stamina of a 5 month puppy. And when she tired out and Rocco wanted to keep going, she got a little snippy with him :-( She did not fight or hurt him in anyway, but she was definitely trying to send a message. She also was less than pleased when he tried to do what boy puppies do, if you know what I mean ;-) Anyway, overall I think it was a success and I look forward to many more visits with The A Family (both here and at their home) in the future!
Now to the fun stuff...pictures! These were taken late in the evening, after exhaustion had set in. Sleeping pups are good pups!
Well, since it's 50 degrees outside...yes, 50!!!...and I am off from work today (CT Scan this morning...won't get results until the 23rd), I am off to take my special girl on a looooong walk/hike.
Today I am thankful for hints of spring. Although I know we have a ways to go, and more cold, winter weather is inevitable, these sporadic warm days makes me feel like we're getting there. Enjoy it!
