The hubs and I both like to lie on the floor when we watch TV. (Yes, we are a little weird. But we stretch, and do tennis ball massage therapy*, etc.)
Usually while we're on the floor, our spoiled pup is on the sofa or in her comfy memory foam bed. But sometimes she'll come and hang out on the floor with us. Like the other day when I looked up and saw that she and the hubs were hanging out together.

An Experiment Goes As Expected
Last week, Jodi at Heart Like a Dog, who frequently writes cute
posts about the funny or sweet things her dogs do that make her smile,
wrote about how her boy Sampson stops eating his Kong and stares at it, "knowing someone will help [him] get the goodies out..."
She said that he will "either bounce the Kong until he gets the pineapple out, or he just stops all together. "
I commented that "Rita would look at me like I was insane if I put fruit in her Kong." Jodi asked if I'd ever tried pineapple,
conjecturing that Rita might actually like it. I said I was "100%
certain Rita will give me a look of disgust if I offer her a piece of
pineapple." And an experiment was born.

A Book To Help You Survive Losing a Heart Dog
My blogger friend Roxanne Hawn of the award-winning Champion of My Heart blog recently published a non-fiction book called Heart Dog: Surviving the Loss of Your Canine Soul Mate. It is based on her own experience losing her beautiful heart dog, Lilly.
Isn't that a beautiful cover? |

A Pet Pit-Stop at the Airport
Recently I shared pics of our trip to Hawaii. There were a couple I didn't share though.
While we were at the San Diego airport waiting for our flight, the hubs and I stopped to use the restrooms. Between the men's and women's bathrooms, this sign hung on the wall next to a closed door:

Mischief at the Office
Friday, June 26 is Take Your Dog to Work Day.
Luckily, I've been working from home since 2000. For a long time I worked as a research analyst, and now as a writer. Our girls - angel Bailey, angel Abby, and Rita - have all enjoyed getting to "go to work" with me every day, even if my commute is just to the office down the hall.
We did try taking Bailey to the dog-daddy's work a couple of times -- but only on the weekends when very few other folks were around.

Good thing too, because the very first time we took her there (the hubs just needed to quickly stop by the office for some files), she sensed immediately that this was some sort of enchanted land. As soon as we opened the door, she took off running. We had her off-leash, assuming she'd just cruise along with us - but no. She had other plans!

Less-Wordy Wed.: Celebrating the Dog's Birthday!
Rita turned four on Tuesday. Well, we don't really know her exact birthday, but June 16th is the day we celebrate. Based on the age Baja Animal Sanctuary guessed at for her, we figured her birthday was around mid-June, and since 6/16 is her angel-cousin Lou's birthday, it seemed like a perfect day to pick for Rita.
Rita wanted a party with pony rides and a clown (to bark at) for her birthday but we decided on something a little more low-key.
We started the celebrations on Sunday night, when the whole unit went to In-N-Out burger and Rita got a Flying Dutchman! (Which is 2 burger patties with cheese. Yes, I know - so decadent, but she only gets one on her gotcha day in January and her bday in June.)
