These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things

Today has been a long day. However; all my long days are quickly erased by coming home to play games with the girls. It's true what they say about dogs, they really are always happy to see you. That in itself can turn any hard day around and put a previously nonexistent smile on my face every time. I remember explaining my love for the girls to my vet Dr. Randy one day when Brown was sick with strep throat. I was crying because she was pitiful and pleading with the vet to make her feel better because she is the "most loving, sweet, best companion a person could ever ask for." He replied, "so you could say she's exactly the opposite of my ex-wife." We both laughed and eventually Brown got better.

So what's up with the picture? Well, when we play games it usually involves the above four toys in some fashion. Going from left to right we have Gopher, Crazy Ring, Blue Donut, and last but not least, the Easter Pig. The Easter Pig tragically lost both eyes in a spirited game of tug-o-war but she's still holding her own. Today's game was a favorite of ours called chase me around the coffee table. I, of course, lost and ended up on the sofa where both girls felt sorry for me because I'm totally and horribly out of shape. Maybe tomorrow we'll go for a low key stroll. And yes, the girls have a stroller. We'll cover that one later.
