Sit and Snuggle

09/15/2025

Spending the long weekend with Billy. Yesterday I took a box out to the recycling bin and I came back to him looking out at me like an old-timey apron-clad grandma leaning on the doorframe during the depression, looking across the field and wondering who's coming down the driveway to the farmhouse amidst a cloud of dust.

Today I got to help Keegan celebrate his 11th birthday!! I took him and Katie for a hike and enjoyed the nice weather with them. I can't believe the big boy is 11!! Where has the time gone!! He needs some help getting in and out of the car and he's a lot slower these days and we can't hike for hours on end like we used to, but I feel like it was just yesterday when he was a tiny puppy that was so small I thought I lost him in my car (turns out he was laying by the windshield lol). 🎂 And of course Katie had to get her picture taken a few times too. The last picture is of her showing me her boo boo paw - something that she's done all the time since she was hit by a car and needed her shoulder rebuilt (we think maybe her leg feels funny or maybe the nerves never fully grew back). She likes to "show" you her paw for you to pet and love on. She seems to get reassurance and love from it. ❤️

Bodi and Pip always look like they're suspicious of me being up to no good. 🤨

I spent the weekend with Zoey. She's a senior pup with a wonky foot but still has the energy of a puppy. She is constantly *on* and is constantly watching me and waiting for me to make even the slightest movement, in case I might be handing out snacks or going for our next walk. For her own well-being, I wish she'd be a little LESS obsessed with me so she could finally relax and take a nap, but I guess it's a huge compliment to be watched (and loved) 24/7. Literally the only time she sleeps is when we go to bed at night and share the twin bed, or when I go to work. While I'm gone, she has three great beds to choose from but instead she insists on sleeping next to the door to wait for me to come home. 🥹❤️

I've known Maggie nearly her whole life (almost 14 years) and I only JUST RECENTLY found out she likes to sit at the counter with her humans while they eat!!! Here she is helping me eat a late dinner last night. 😂

Maggie and I checked out a new (to us) SVT trail today. There were lots of good smells so she gives it two dewclaws up! 👍👍

I've never used Sniffspot myself but there seem to be some really good fenced in AND swimming spots available. Including this one. For those pups that can't go off leash or who have trouble making friends. ❤️

Happy National Dog Day from Jax (who is busy cleaning out the squeezy peanut butter container)! 🥜

Spending a few nights with Jax. He loves tennis balls, peanut butter and bringing his favorite licky mat to bed with him every night. 🖤

Brady's baby sister, Poppy, had her first hikes this week! She was very energetic and (unlike Brady) very confident and outgoing. But she also seemed amazed by everything she saw and spent a lot of her time just sitting and observing and taking it all in. ❤️

After he went potty, I took blind, mostly toothless, drugged up on gabapentin and spinal special needs senior Bloo out to the sunny spot so he could feel the warmth on his belly. He fell asleep like this in literally less than 10 seconds. 🥹
