Yes, I know. We need to get a dog.
But until that sweet day comes, we love having Phoebe for a day. {And to be fair, I should say that "we" does not include Braeya. She gave us the stink-eye for most of the day. Well, when she came out from under the bed to see if Phoebe was gone yet.}
Ryan had to work, so I had the Pheebster by myself for the first part of the day. Please also note that I did not have plans to go anywhere, so I didn't actually put a lot of effort into getting ready.
Kisses. Sloppy wet ones.
Blogs are boring.
Cooking is boring. LOL!! Actually, for this one, she was tuckered out from whisking me around the neighborhood at high rates of speed. She's kind of like a Marmaduke at times. A very small Marmaduke.
Text from Ryan that he's coming home for lunch! Let's CELEBRATE!!!!
No table scraps = much sadness. {Braeya does get table scraps, but since I don't know the full scope of rules of what Phoebe is and is not allowed to have, I just withhold all scraps. I don't want to make her sick!}
More sloppy wet kisses.
After Ryan came home from work, we went for a long walk. And yes, those are shorts on Ryan on February 18th. In Indiana. Amazing, isn't it? I am dearly loving our weather right now. I fear we may pay for it sometime in March, but I'm loving it right now!
Holding hands {paws?} during a nap. Isn't it just darling? I'm sure Ryan LOVES it that I've called him darling.
Couch cuddles.
Laundry helper. And by helper, I mean she watched me fold it.
We wrapped up the night with a little bit of Bible study. She was all in. Literally.
Any day with the Pheebster is a great day. Love that girl!!!

I've only been reading your blog for a little while (LOVE it, by the way). Who is Phoebe? Friend or relative's dog?
My son has a black German Shepherd. I can definitely identify with the walks at break neck speed, until he smells something and puts on the brakes. I know why they use German Shepherds as drug sniffing dogs, etc. Their sense of smell is amazing.
You're making me want to get a dog!!!
K - I'm so glad you've come to read and that you pop in now and then with comments! I love that! Phoebe belongs to some of our friends, and she's a miniature goldendoodle. (No one ever guesses that since she's not golden!) She is just over a year old, and we started watching her last May when her people went on a week-long vacation and she stayed with us. It was the first time they'd ever left her that long and I cried when she went home. LOL!! Since then, we have her every month or so when they need to be gone for an extended period of time. Braeya is not a fan, but we both love her and she's a REALLY good dog. She doesn't bark at other dogs or every little noise, she doesn't pee in the house, and she's so loving!
And I totally picture what you're saying with the shepherd. Phoebe does a version of that too, where she'll just be prancing around and then BOOM. Done. Down. Sniffing. Won't move til she's ready. So funny!
Tamar - YOU SHOULD!! And tell Ryan WE SHOULD!!!!
I can't wait til you guys get a golden doodle puppy! (hint hint) I think if Braeya might like him if he's a baby? I think this is the year! yes yes Shaffer puppy palooza. ;) Love you guys! XOXO
Polly, so far he's not picking up your hint, but I'm no quitter if you aren't either! :)
