A Good Day To Be A Dog

It's cool outside but the weather's nearly perfect for the dogs. A rabbit was in the back yard earlier so its scent has been cause for lots of investigation today. As I've been working on the computer most of the past hour, it's been nice to have the company of Jasmine, Maggie, Brandy, Pennie and Annie in the room with me. Every one's napping now, but if I were to get up it would take only a second for the dogs to be ready to move to their next project of the day - the dog park.

Friday afternoon, King was strolling around enjoying the dog park. Apparently, something startled him and when King jumped it startled Pennie. Pennie snarled at King and King jumped back and fell over. I'm not into violence at all, but it was a little bit funny to see Pennie, the corgi who stretches to a whopping 12" tall, scaring King the 112 lb. dobbie.

Anytime I leave home, I fill the dog's Kongs with treats. It occupies them a few minutes as they gnaw to get the treats out. Jasmine always takes her Kong to the dining room. Maggie goes to the stairway landing. Brandy retreats to the family room. Pennie takes her Kong to the sun room to munch and Annie gets her Kong in her kennel. When I got home last time, Jasmine had rounded up Kongs and four of five were under the dining room table. It was cute to see the collection of Kongs in Jas's secret hiding place.

Life is good.
