Happy Sunday! It is a gray, humid August day here in Lansing and we are happily spending the morning indoors enjoying some peace and quiet . We have been keeping busy over the last couple of weeks trying to focus on making memories and having fun together. I have mentioned to a couple of people that it almost feels like we're on a farewell tour. We've been spending time with people who are important and going to places we love while still adding in some new adventures along the way. It just feels like we are taking time now, while Imke is feeling well, to say all of our final goodbyes to the people and places we love so that when that horrible time comes, we can let go in peace knowing that we left nothing undone.
Last weekend, I took Maddie and Imke to Soldan's for their Dog Fro-yo eating contest. This wouldn't have been a good event for Peaches, but Maddie and Imke were so excited to meet new people and new dogs, and especially to eat a special treat. Maddie took her time to savor her treat.
Imke didn't waste time enjoying her yogurt. It was gone in just a couple of gulps and she took 2nd place!
We then spent the afternoon visiting my parents. Three acres in the country to run, sniff, and explore. It is a GSP paradise and Imke has always loved going there. Imke jumped out of the Jeep and started to run around the yard (well it's was running for a little old lady). After we spent some good time walking around and exploring the yard, we then sat down to relax and enjoy the day.
It was a really nice way to spend our Saturday afternoon and the girls went home very happy and very tired!
On Sunday, we were excited to visit our friends Barb and Tom. They are ISR adopters who's home visit I did last Fall. They have wanted to meet Peaches and I have wanted to meet Sherman so we were excited for the visit.
The dogs were all treated to Frosty Paws and it was the one opportunity I had to get all five of them in a picture. It was so much fun having the five of them together.
We had a great visit with them. Peaches enjoyed exploring the yard and spent most of her day watching the birds. She also got in some quality time playing with Charlie and Sherman. Imke spent her time exploring and resting and Maddie spent most of the day lounging in the sun.
Tom got some really great pictures of all of the dogs. I'm so glad he sent them to me. The next several pictures are courtesy of Tom.
It was such a nice way to spend our Sunday afternoon. The girls had the best time with their new friends. Peaches has never had the chance to play with another young GSP and she loved it! We will definitely have to visit again. Just look at the happy faces!
We all left Barb and Tom's happy that we had visited. The trip home was very quiet and once we got home, the girls ate dinner and went straight to bed for the night. A tired GSP makes a happy GSP and they were all very happy with our weekend.
