Puppy Day Care - Update

 

Puppy day care is almost over for the summer. I will be out of town next week and then start back to work August 8.

Luke loves to sleep on the top of the couch. He can see down the street and can check everything out. Daisy just loves to sleep on the couch on the pillows. She is like a princess atop the pillows. Spoiled!!!

 

 

Luke and Daisy greet us at the door with toys in their mouth. Usually their are toys in the yard and many around the house. They know how to get them out but do not put them away yet. I guess I need to work on that.

Friends from Mobile

 

Cassie and Anita

When we first moved to Alabama we lived in an apartment in Hoover. Anita and her family livened up our stay their. Anita has not changed. She is full of live and a mess.

Cassie, Anita and her husband Chris. 

Ashliegh, Ali, and Andrea

They loved playing the Wi. When they lived in Hoover they were 3, 5 and 7. They are 11, 13 and 16 now.

John came and brought vegetables and his famous deviled eggs. Cassie and Eric came and Cassie made Macaroni and Cheese. JR cooked chicken and steak on the grill. Yummy. I made potato salad.

We had a fun visit with old friends.

One Summer Project Completed

 

I have two projects I wanted to complete this summer. One was to clean out my bedroom closet. After a week it is finally finished. I have five bags of clothes to go to good will, one to Cassie, and one for the trash. I did not take a picture of the before look. I would be embarrassed. 

 

The mountain of shoes is now gone and they are now hanging where they are suppose to be.

 

 

We moved J.R.'s dresser into the closet. I cleaned out all the clothes in his dresser. We got new furniture at Christmas. We moved the furniture upstairs but still needed his dresser.

This is our bedroom presently.

Luke Watching for Mom & Dad

 

Luke likes Puppy Daycare however around 3:00 he gets on the couch and starts looking or waiting for his Mom & Dad.

Puppy Daycare

 

While Cassie & Eric have been at work I have been hosting puppy daycare for Luke & Daisy.

 

 

I am teaching them to stay and then move when I say okay. I have a treat on the floor and told them to stay.

Now I told them okay and they retrieved the treat.

 

This is the timeout couch. When they get in trouble they get put in timeout.

 

They love to sleep in the big bed.

Luke resting with neck support.

 

 

Daisy loves the white blanket. It is soft and fluffy.

It's rough being at puppy daycare.

The Golden Gate Bridge is not Golden.

The Golden Gate bridge is not golden. The area was called the "Golden Gate" during the gold rush because it was the gate to gold so when they built the bridge they named it the "Golden Gate Bridge". The architect wanted to paint it gray but compromise was made to paint it orange. Now you can actually ride your bike or jog across the bridge. They have a path and you can also ride your bike and then ride the ferry back.

JR and I posing. We had just came from Napa Valley and it was in the 80's and then we stopped at the bridge and it cooled down to 60 degrees. Brr.

Two my teacher friends were in San Francisco when we got their. So we drove to Napa Valley and then stopped at the bridge. Karen on the left and Shelia on the right.

This picture does not give it justice. It was gorgeous.

San Francisco

We really enjoyed San Francisco. There was so much to see, do and taste. Fisherman's Warf, Coit Tower, Pier 39 and many more exciting things.







This is a picture of Pier 39. The sea lions were uninvited guests from the earthquake in the 1990's. They are now an integral part of the Pier. They are loud, stinky and very funny. There was also many little shops, lots of food places and entertainment all day.





































The crookest street in San Francisco. They built this road crooked because it is very steep. Now it is a tourist attraction. Cars line up to go down the street at 5 miles per hour.

This is a picture of Alcatraz. We climed up 274 stairs in the city up to Coit Tower. We went through city streets and near many homes. I do not think many people own cars due to the small streets and crowed area. There were very few traffic lights in the city. There were many four way stop signs. It was scarey and conjested. It was better to trave on foot, bike or mass transit.

This is a picture of one of the quaint houses we passed as we were climbing up to Coit Tower.

Check in later for more exciting pictures of San Francisco.
