PLAY VS. WORK…

It was – what seemed to start out as – an ordinary day. I wanted to do some housework but the boys wanted to play. Let me tell you – they were entertaining yet “persistent” with delivering that message to me all morning long. If they weren’t giving me funny faces…

I finally conceded, stopped what I was “attempting” to do all morning and decided to take them on a long walk. I asked Leo to quit with the dryer sheets…

This went on for what seemed like hours and then I leashed them up for their walk. Before we could step off the curb, Leo heard someone other than his DM (Doodle Mom) call his name! As we turned around, we all saw the cutest little brown and tan furry thing running in our direction. I released their leashes and they met 3 year old “Leo”, a Lhasapoo-Apso Poodle who adopted the family next door…

When “recess” was over, and “Lil’ Leo” had to go home, Harley was his escort, while Leo struggled with “who was calling who…”

We finished our walk, then ran a few errands, while they napped in the backseat…

It turned out to be a great day, they met a friend, and I learned that life goes on without finishing laundry…
