10 Days with my Aunt- from a dog perspective

Hey,
It's me, Riggs.  It's been awhile. Almost 18 months to be exact.  Dont worry, I have spent plenty of time at Aunt Hannah's house since then but have just been too busy.

These two pictures were the best from the batch... if that tells you anything about how hard it is to take a picture of 3 dogs and 4 kids.

In every single picture, Molly has her head turned.  She was mortified by the chaos.  

This post is dedicated to my Pa... who, literally is almost 1/2 way across the world from me right now.  I cant talk to him and update him on my week with my Aunt Hannah so I thought he would at least be able to check on me through this outlet.

For those who don't know me- I am Hannah's dog nephew.  I visit my Aunt Hannah when my Pa (her brother) has to go away.  Normally, I just spend a few days a month with my Aunt, but this time my Pa went skiing in Austria!  Yep, Austria... for 10 days.  Of course, my Aunt Hannah and my human cousins (and dog cousins) were excited for me to come.  We have discussed before how much everyone really loves me.  Honestly, everyone needs a dog like me.

Heard a motorcycle and took a break from playing.

My days have been quite busy with this family.  Normally I sleep a lot during the day while my Pa is at work.  But, not here.  I play with people cousins and my dog cousin, Moses all day.  My other dog cousin, Molly, likes me but she thinks she is in charge of me (I ate some of her food the other day when she wasn't looking... ha, that will teach her.) 

Ahhh!  Taking a nap and Moses used me as a pillow.  He really loves me.

Have I ever mentioned how much I live to eat?  I practically jump all the way off the ground from all 4's when it is breakfast and dinner time.  By the way, Pa, I still like to eat crayons.  I am kind of like a vacuum cleaner.... I digress.

I drink a ton of water but I like to share with Molly and Moses.  Somehow we can all drink out of the same bowl at the same time.  

Pa, I miss you so much but I am happy here.  You  might be interested to know that I finally chewed my toenail off.  Aunt Hannah has been cleaning it, but said that I might need to go to the vet because I dont like for her touch it AT ALL,  She practically had to sit on me for her to get this picture.  I dont limp on it though and I still play with Moses without it bothering me. She didnt have to give me any of the pain medicine either.

The closest nail is the one way that was split really deep.  

Told you that I can still play hard.  Molly doesnt like it much when Moses and I play rough.

Every night, I sleep with my human cousins, Hunter and Ashton.  I curl up at Hunter's feet and don't make a sound until he gets up in the morning. 

Getting ready for bed... this is the way i sleep every nigh with Hunter.

I also sit on Aunt Hannah's lap anytime I get the chance.  Sometimes, I think she doesnt like it but then I hear her chuckle and sigh and she starts to pet me so I know it has to be one of her favorite things.

See?  Doesnt she  look happy with me?

I love to sit with Aunt Hannah but really I climb into any of my older 3 boy cousins.  

Oh oh oh, I got to take a car ride to pick up human cousin, Shepherd.  It was a good day.  I also help my Aunt Hannah clean the dishes every night.  Can you believe she has to hassle my human cousins to help?  I mean, kitchen clean up has to be the best chore ever!!! Pa, I wish you would give me that responsibility at home. Aunt Hannah says I do such a good job that it looks like she could just put the plates back up without washing them! 

Ok, well, I seriously have to go... dinner is almost ready.

I love you so much Pa!  See you Sunday!!!

Your precious brown son,
Riggs
