Right now he&#8217;s a big goofy puppy weighing in, I am sure, at 50 pounds. We&#8217;ll try to get some pictures this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>He has not learned about us sitting down to eat dinner yet. We eat sitting on the sofa with our This End Up tables up. Being a very active puppy who is so excited that I am home, I try to play with him while I eat. If he leaves the purple ball, his indoor ball, close enough I can get it with the gripper, I toss it for him. As soon I finish eating I put my table down and play with him. He also knows when we finish dinner and he gets his food that we go outside to play.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, while we were eating it started raining but we did not know it because we had the den curtains pulled. When I took the plates in to the kitchen I was surprised to look at to see it pouring. You try to convince a puppy that it&#8217;s pouring down rain and we cannot go outside to play. I had to open the door and let him out on the porch. He got to the step, saw it was raining, looked at me, and came back in the house.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long, tough week. We had to get a weeklong project finished today&#8230;which we did.<\/p>\n<p>I am reading a new Susan Wittig Albert mystery in her China Bayles series, Mourning Glory. By the way, I really enjoyed the Grace and Favor and will be requesting the next one in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>and happy birthday to Colin who turns six months old today.
