4-15-09 Spring Playtime

Abby Sunshine’s favorite Grandma Dori is visiting this week. They have been having a lot of fun together with walks, treats, and such. Yesterday, as Grandma was out in the yard with Abby, she turned to find herself suddenly in a pack of dogs! Luckily it wasn’t a pack of wild dogs. It turned out to be Abby’s friends. They had come over to play!

As I hope we all do when entertaining company, the first thing is to greet the visitors. Perhaps sniff or lick them if you are a dog.

Allow me to introduce Pete. He is a Welsh Terrier, full of energy and runs fast like Abby!

jack

This is Jack. He and Pete live next door. Jack is a beautiful mixed breed with a warm and calm disposition. While Abby and Pete are running like maniacs, Jack may sometimes stop to smell the roses.

You may recall meeting Bailey last winter at the ice rink. She is a Yellow Lab and another neighborhood friend. She looks so sweet and innocent, but she loves to tease Abby and knows just how to egg her on.

What did I tell you? Look at her playful posture. She is trying to get a game going with Pete.

It doesn’t take long for the running to begin.

And they run, and they accelerate, and they make quick turns. . .

Now they are running in a straight line- headed for a particular destination.

The POOL!

Not bad. What do you do when you are entertaining guests?

  1. Hi Lisa! I love it. :)

  2. Hi,
    I’m Jack & Pete’s Grandma from NY. I so enjoyed the pictures of my boys. And you are right….they are so darned cute. Jack is very patient while Pete…well there just no describing that boy but hyper.
    You did an outstanding job of capturing them in pictures. It isn’t always easy to get them to stand still.
    Thanks again,
    Robin
