It’s Puppy Time!

Ahhh….I love the morning!  It’s very peaceful .  And  I just love when it’s so quiet that you can hear the appliances hum. 

I love to put on a pot of strong coffee  and get the newspaper out of the driveway (my dogs are too “high maintenance” to fetch the paper).  Then, I read the Sunday paper, do a sudoku puzzle, check the Walgreen’s ad to see if my brand of make-up is on sale this week. 

Then……It’s “Puppy Time!”

“Puppy Time” is a phrase my husband coined.  “Puppy Time” is a “Love-fest” of kissing and belly rubbing, playing and getting fingers and toes bitten by sharp puppy teeth.  We LOVE “Puppy Time.” 

So, now that “Puppy Time” has officially commenced, the puppinos are now “helping me” to read the Sunday paper by carrying various sections of said paper to different parts of the house. 

Then, to their delight, they eagerly “prepare” the paper for “composting” by tearing into small pieces. 

So, as you can imagine, the newspaper reading is not going well.  What to do?????

Then, “eureka,” I have a great idea……….time for a “Puppino Stroll!”  They will be in a contained spaceand we can all get some fresh air.

But, what will they wear???????  Well, it is that time of year that red suits with black belts with goldbuckles are all the rage.  And ,what could be prettier on a little princess at this time of year than a red dress trimmed in white--complete with a white ribbon sash. 

It was indeed time for the Puppino Stroller! 

So, equipped with my iPhone and iPad, a blanket for each baby, plenty of puppino toys and a diet coke for mommy, we headed for the fishing dock.

Now, among the MANY things I LOVE about Elkins Lake (the subdivision where I live)—

·        I LOVE the main lake

·        the fishing dock  

·        walking across the dam

·        watching for a Bald Eagle sighting

·        or even spying the resident alligator. 

If you’ve read my blogs, you already know how much I love “porch settin’ and a rockin.’”  In Elkins Lake.

Now, I add to the list of things I LOVE about Elkins Lake:  “Puppy Time Strolls!  I can’t wait to take the puppinos to the new Elkins Lake walking trail around the lake at sunset.  They will love it!

You know, this is a beautiful time of year

in many ways.  It’s a time to reflect, a time to enjoy your family.  My puppinos are my children.  I love them very much. 

So, here’s to lots of Sunday Morning, Tuesday Evening, Thursday twilight “Puppy Time Strolls.”

Because at our house, the best times are “Puppy Time!”
