"So Happy Together!" - The Turtles

Katie and Jake were just overjoyed when we came home Thursday night! They ran to the truck to greet us and escorted us to the front door.

On Friday they waited for me to get up and as soon as I came down the stairs they were outside the sliding glass doors stretching and looking in the window. They could not wait for me to come out and play! If it were up to them they would play and spend their time with me 24/7.

That afternoon they followed me around and hung out with me as I watered and deadheaded all the flowers in pots on the deck and hanging baskets. When I finished we played some catch before going for our evening walk.

Yesterday evening we met Harley at our usual trail when he got off work. Again they were estatic to spend this time together on our walk. We stopped to pick blackberries and I think they enjoyed feasting on the berries even more than we did! They are like little bears! Well technically you could say they are because their father was named "Bear". :o)

LOL It was rather funny because I had a calling from nature during our berry picking and had to step off the trail into the side of some farmer's field. Harley stayed on the trail and continued to munch on the berries but the dogs followed me right down to where I had to go. Another time I had to tie my shoe lace so I handed Harley the leash and they kept looking back to see where I was. They did not want to leave me behind!

I firmly believe that pets enhance our quality of life and enjoyment of it!

They do love their mama! I just got back from going for a jog/walk with them. The weather was perfect and the sunset was amazing!

LOL I did not know you had started your own animal shelter!

Speaking of which, my sister just got a puppy. I think it is a Boston Terrier. He is so adorable and his name is "Spud". Pretty fitting for an Idaho couple eh?
