In July, Gabe visited Latte and Emma while his folks went to Hawaii on a short vacation. These are his stories …
Hi Everyone,
Gabe, here again in lovely Corte Madera. Just thought I’d let you know that I am having a great time and all is well with me. I being on my best behavior AND manage to have some fun at the same time. It would be really quiet and relaxing here if it weren’t for that barky Latte. That’s OK though, because otherwise I’d miss the kids too much.
Here are some pictures:
“I love playing with toys in the bedroom. The carpet has great traction and the ceiling is high, so I can throw them up in the air and then catch them again. Then I can mess up all the dog beds and dog blankets and have a really great time. Then I run down the hallway and come to a stop with a slide in the office. This is GREYT FUN!”
“See! I am not afraid of being with Emma in the office anymore. She’s really OK, just a little scary at first because she’s so quiet.”
“We get to go on some pretty scenic walks up on the ridge or in the marsh. Lot’s of views, I especially love the deer, the joggers, and that dead snake we saw yesterday wasn’t bad either. Most of the time, my nose is on the ground, though. Some very interesting stuff there!”
“Don’t we make a handsome trio? Julie says we get a lot of stares. I think that’s good.”
“There’s some good sniffing going on on these walks. Emma usually finds the really good stuff and then Latte and I check it out, too.”
“Julie says I do really well walking with the other dogs, especially Latte. She seems to think I enjoy walking side by side with him. In reality, I just can’t pull ahead when he’s attached to the same arm as him and my leash is the same length. I might just have to get used to that – having a walking buddy.”
“Breakfast and Dinner times sometimes get to be really fun and sometimes really challenging. I have to especially watch that b@#$ Emma. She’s always the fastest when it comes to finishing her meal and then she checks on everyone else’s. So … my strategy has been to go to her bowl first because it’s closer to the kitchen where we wait while the bowls are being prepared. I then just start eating hers and she doesn’t seem to mind eating mine. That’s all good! I had a talk with her about that and this morning, we agreed to just eat our own food out of our own bowls and it worked really well.”
“Julie gives us dessert after every meal. I had to get used to that at first, because I wasn’t sure what to make of that. But now, I really like it. Latte and Emma are pigs when it comes to that, they totally shoe me out of the way and do some strange tricks or things. I just don’t get it. I just wait patiently and there it is, just being held to my nose. I wonder if Julie can tell Mom about that.”
“Julie just said that she has to go to the store for a little while. That’s OK because Latte and Emma and I are sleeping soundly – Emma in some strange position, while Latte and I know how to really get some rest.”
Gotta go to sleep now! Talk to you later. Hope you’re having a great time, wherever you are.
Love,
Gabe
