I love teasing Vin. On our way back home from a walk, I'll say, "Wanna get some food?" and then walk REALLY slowly. He usually responds by biting my kneecaps.

Hide and Seek

Sometimes the only thing to do at the end of the day, the only thing that makes any sense, is to play "slippy-slidy-over-the-wood-floors-crazy-hide-and-seek-with-optional-tackling-and-jumping-out-from-behind-corners-for-the-scare-factor-and-no-home-base" with your pup. What a fun kid he is.

I love teasing Vinnie. Sometimes when we're walking home I'll say, "Do you want some food?" & then start walking really slowly. He goes crazy.

Singing voice

Vinnie tries to kiss me, very frantically, every time I sing. Does this mean I have a lovely singing voice, or that he is trying to shut me up by kissing me? Or is it just a coincidence? Uncanny coincidence, methinks.

A Walk

These days, whenever I say, "Vinnie, do you want to go for a walk?" I imagine that he rolls his eyes and thinks, "Right. Do you mean 'walk', or do you mean, 'stand around tethered by my leash while you pick blackberries?'"

Gross

Nice. Vinnie just tried to pull the bandaid off my foot. Don't be gross, Vin.

Whenever my hands are wet, I just wipe them on my pants or on Vinnie to dry them.

Perfect weekend. Weather (x2), berries (x2), live music (x2), swimming (x2), church (x2), puppies (x2), Seattle Knights, friends, family, farmer's market, God.

Vinnie wants me to call in sick tomorrow and go swimming with him at the dog park. It's supposed to be 90 so I'm considering it.

Some guy was running around without his shirt on today and Vinnie barked at him. Either Vin is a prude or he disapproves of strenuous exercise.

Very productive day. Obviously. Looked at funny cat t-shirts, photos of sea glass, Vin's baby pics, & now making a blackberry pie. That's productive at least.

Creepy...

Woke up today to see Vinnie just staring at me. Creepy... Almost like the morning a few months ago when I woke up to him just standing by my bed, his nose an inch from mine, just waiting for me to wake up. I always sort of wonder how long he's been there.
