Houseguest!

We just played dog parents again for a few days. :) Sigh of happiness. (Except from Braeya. Just sighs of frustration from her.)

Phoebe's people were gone because their son got married over the weekend, and while the wedding wasn't crazy far away, it was far enough that it wasn't really practical to take Pheebs along. So she came here for a few days. I felt kind of bad for her, because our weather was so lousy throughout her entire stay that we didn't get to take any fun walks. Just utilitarian walks. :) 

But we made our own brand of fun, and here's a peek at it!

Since we couldn't play outside very much, we played inside. (By the end of the week, she'd stolen most of Braeya's toys too.)

Watching the neighbors' dog is always a crowd favorite. Phoebe doesn't really approve of any of our neighbors' dogs unless they are not seen and not heard. Any reminder of their presence really steps on her toes. It absolutely cracks me up. She's claimed a whole square mile here as hers, I think!

When it's too cold to go out, lots of snuggling is in order. It didn't hurt that I had novels to read and scrapbooks to finish! (Excuse my yoga pants and bed head in most of the pictures in this post. Spring break, you know.)

If you heard the podcast, you know that she slept through my rehearsals for my talk this past Sunday. She slept through most of my office work, actually. 

We didn't let her sleep the whole time, though. She played while we worked out.

And she sat on me while I did my core workout.

We did a photo shoot for her brother's wedding. It was a hilarious comedy of outtakes to get a few good ones, but we did succeed. (Ryan was at work during this part, so I was trying to get her to be attentive AND take pictures all by myself.) Her people told me they LOVED the pictures, though, so it was worth it.

Friday night snuggles and cuddles during an at-home pizza-and-movie date night. 

And hanging out with Daddy Ryan! Even learning some new skills. :) 

As always, she was a joy to have. Braeya's glad to have her house back, but I miss Pheebs already!
