Digby

This is my puppy.

This is not my puppy.DSCN4621-(2sm)This is my friends puppy Digby and he comes to visit us everyday while she is at work.Digby

Theoretically this is to help my friend out by keeping the pup here while he is still too young to be in a crate all day.  Once he is bigger he will no longer spend his days with us.

(Digby’s mom is a Saint Bernard and his Dad is a Great Dane/Doberman. At 10 weeks and 22 pounds bigger is the operative word here!)DSCN4602-(2sm)

Theoretically that’s the plan.

But really… DSCN4622-(2sm)

Really, we love him.

And we have no intention of letting this arrangement end!

Taking Time To Stop and…

Officially moved into the new house, we are not yet officially moved out of the old.

But in the midst of moving the firewood, and setting up garbage service and figuring out phone lines and trying to find the box with the leather gloves, and moving the ducks in we’ve managed to have some visitors…

Uncle Jim came over from Michigan to see Granny's tiny toad (and the rest of us as well).

…and to be visitors…

The Barry/Stevens family gathered from everywhere to visit and reminisce about growing up in Racine.

… and to start puppy sitting!

Meet Digby! We are puppy sitting during the day, more on that later!

Meet Digby! We are going to be puppy sitting during the day. Isn’t he a cutie!?

Amidst all the fun my list of things to do can feel overwhelming.

So, I try to remember to slow down and breathe.

To enjoy the new place.

I stop.

I listen to the sound of the barking dogs.

And take some time to look at the woodchuck in the tree.woodchuck in tree

That’s right.

A woodchuck.

In a tree.

I’ve seen it.

I believe it.

It’s weird.
