Finally Friday

It's been another long week but we're ending it better than it started. Our computer issues have been fixed and even better news, Daddy comes home today! He's been on the coast for work and we've missed him. Mommy is really glad he'll be home because a certain 8 month old puppy is a handful! She has to be walked...

She chews on her toys while laying on Mommy's feet...

She wants to play with her toys at 4am...

So yes, we're all happy he'll be back home where he should be very soon...

We plan to be first in line for scritches!

How has your week been?

Happy weekend to you!

Finally Friday

Hoo boy, what a week this has been! As you've probably figured out, we have a new family member and we weren't consulted. Her name is Lexi and she's a 13 week old Golden Retriever...

Don't let that sweet face fool you! She's wound up like an 8 day clock and she barks at us and chases us! We stay upstairs but do occasionally come down to inspect the little brat...

She joined our family Sunday and has yet to sleep through the night although she made it to 5am yesterday morning so I suppose that's okay since that's when we wake mommy up for treats anyway. To get Lexi to sleep more, she's taken on three walks a day...

When she does sleep she prefers to be touching our peeps or laying on their feets...

Anyway, she had two previous families but they both didn't work out because the people didn't have time for puppyhood so Mommy was told about her the day before they left for Maui. They went to meet her and, the suckers they are, brought her home after they got back from their trip. We guess she's going to stay here no matter what we think. 

How was your week?

Hope you have a good weekend!

Stroll with Sadie!

Hey there everybuddy! Come on a stroll with me (and Mommy) around our neighborhood! Let's start by going into the woods on an old forest road - follow me this way!

Come on Mommy, hurry up!

Oh look, a deer! I'm only teasing Mommy, it's just me!

Mom, it's just a fuzzy tree. Do you really need a picture of that?

We're almost home so Mommy says I have to have my leash back on. She thinks that sign up there means something and that I'll see a real deer.

I always look for them and one of these times I'll see one and we'll see how far I can pull her!

We didn't see any deer today but we had a nice stroll and I hope you enjoyed coming with us!

An Evening Stroll

Our temperatures are coming down making for cooler evenings which are perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. I took my camera along on our last evening out and decided to share some of what we seen beginning with these beautiful wild daisies.

Our dog, Sadie, always leads the way down the trails. She loves all the things to explore in nature. Her tail never stops wagging!

Smoke from the wildfires in California has made its way north to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The haze is in the air every day and is affecting the Olympic track trials going on in Eugene this week. Of course dealing with the smoke is much better than what they are dealing with in California and I hope they get the fires controlled very soon.

We always see at least one deer along the way. This time we saw two. We live in a fairly populated area, however, it borders a forest so it's common to see deer in yards and even exploring our cul-de-sac from time to time. This time of year they stay up near the trees more where it's cooler.

Nature is so beautiful. Be sure to take the time to enjoy it!
