Reef

Last day with Reef :(  We had a great day though.  Got there early this morning and we went for a walk.  He tried his best to mark every bush and mailbox that we walked by.  Played around a little at the house when we got back before it was time to go.  Early afternoon the sun finally came out so we spent most of the time out in the back yard.  He was enjoying soaking up the sun.  He also got his wet food again and ate the whole thing up except one little pea he left at the bottom of the bowl, just kept spitting it out while licking the bowl clean.  Then it was time to go, had to say bye to him, but hopefully it won't be too long before he needs a sitter again.

Suzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fluffy & Fudge


Heiny was still limping this afternoon, but seemed to be a bit better than yesterday. That must be what happened... darn mole! Today it looked a lot more like it was her right rear leg. First Suzie, then Heiny - I hope she feels better soon too. The girls were especially excited today, they must know mom and dad are going to be home soon! Quartz followed me into the kitchen and wanted his brushing again today. After I brushed him for a little while, Boo came to investigate. He jumped up to see what was going on, and got some brushing too! They both loved every minute, especially Quartz. I found everyone and said my goodbyes. The girls gave me lots of kisses and snuggles, so I think they knew. I'm going to miss them all a lot, they're so much fun! I hope you both have a safe trip home. I'm sure they will  be very very excited to see you when you get home!!

Reef


Reef had a full day today.  This morning he went for a short walk around the neighborhood, and got to sniff every mailbox we went passed.  He was very good just walking right along with me.  Then in the afternoon we played in the back yard some more.  He brought out his stuffed toy at first and then we found a rock and that was much more fun.  He didn't care about anything else besides that rock, so funny.  He also got to eat his wet food again, and again I think it was gone before he took a breath.  Tonight we mostly stayed inside, and played with his stuffed bunny until he started to come apart and Reef found the fun white stuff on the inside.  He went back to chewing on his bone after that.  He was looking a little sad when he had to go, but I'll see him early in the morning.  He's a great dog and has been so great to sit for.
