Walking, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Here they are… at the end of their walk this morning. Riley looks a little pissed off, with her ears back and all. Weston looks a little bow legged. But they were both happy and tired. That’s what you want for your dogs. You want them to be happy and tired after a good walk.

Hi Again, I hope you don’t mind me writing again. I asked what breed your adorable Weston was and tho’ we have not yet a dog, those schnoodles top the list. Now you have the equally adorable Riley and you are blessed with two great kids! We are selling our house and things are a bit unsettled so now is not the time to get a pup but that day is coming. In the meantime, we were sent some doggie rules (very cute) for our future children. I thought I would share them.
1. I will not eat the cats’ food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is NOT a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a ‘face towel’.
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone’s crotch is an unacceptable way of saying ‘hello’.
8. I don’t need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m under the coffee table.
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a ‘squeaky toy’ so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it’s probably not a good thing.
BTW, I do occasionally check in and hope you don’t mind. I was sorry to learn that your future son-in-law lost his Christmas gifts via the airport security. My husband lost his Swiss Army knife the same way and a friend of mine lost her favorite pair of moccasins that she had put into a zippered side pocket of her luggage the same way as well. Grrrr…so I feel for Martin and a pox on those security workers.
Anyway hope all is well…Jan
Jan… Thank you so much for posting this… the list of rules. I love it and sadly, I recognize many of the don’ts happen daily in our house. Also… check in as often as you like, I like knowing I’m not writing and posting just for myself, though I guess that would be OK, if it were the case. As to your husband’s swiss army knife… so sorry to hear about it. It is a very frustrating thing and makes one feel pretty helpless, though I think Martin may get some money as compensation from the TSA. At least he can go buy himself another knife if he wants one. Doesn’t quite replace the sentimental value the leatherman already had, but at least it’s something. Also sorry to hear you can’t get a pup in the near future. Hold out for it, because you sound to me like a true dog lover and like just the kind of person who should have one romping around. I’ll send vibes your way that it can happen soon.
Thank you for the vibes Tamra! I can feel them from here and I send those good ones back your way for all kinds of good stuff in life! I do love dogs. I grew up with them along with a few kitties, chickens and a rabbit. We do have one cat Totem and he’s pretty darn cute. I know he would do well with a dog once he got over the initial shock of another “four-legs” in the house. Weston and Riley are a couple of blessed pups with such two good mommies!
I’m glad Martin will get some compensation for his leatherman but you are right it can’t replace the sentimental factor.
Oh and congrats on being ordained! How cool is that?!!
Best always, Jan
