Friday night...

It's Friday night.

I am looking forward to plopping down by the fire with a pillow, a book & a cuppa.
::sigh::
Perfection!

I have started my laundry. I have but a scant three loads this weekend. The dishes in the dishwasher shall be clean come morning so I can give the kitchen the once over whilst I make breakfast.

I have come to cherish the days that do not include my job. I love what I do for a living. It can be beyond frustrating at times, yet quite rewarding at others. I guess that is a good sign I still care :)

It's Friday night.
Once upon a time that meant dancing, hopping, lots of boisterous gatherings and very late nights.

It's Friday night.


...where did I leave that book lying about??

Walk...P-L-E-A-S-E!!

This is how Norman was looking as we prepared for his little jaunt around the complex. He has his own little route all mapped out...I just follow him around. It's not that we don't go out numerous times during the day...he just likes to go--when HE WANTS TO GO!!!

It's kinda cute.

Being as old as he is, things have mellowed dramatically around here. No more romping around the place squeaking his toys. No more trying to charge after cats, squirrels or birds. No more wanting to run while we're out.

So this little display of anticipation is fun.

Norman misses everyone and is really hoping for visitors again soon!!!

Norman Update

Here is a nice photo of Norman enjoying an egg treat! This is one of his favorite things :) Norman had his 12th birthday in May. He still enjoys hanging out with his friends through the week and chilling out at the condo on the weekends.

He still enjoys being outside and walking around saying hello to anyone he meets. He really is enjoying summer...the sunshine on the porch and the rainstorms in the evenings.

Sadly...twelve is pretty old for a 110lb pup. This last weekend Norman was disoriented and wouldn't drink water. He wandered off into the hall and this is where he wanted his puppy bed. Overall, Normie was out of character. By Monday, he had perked up and was back to regular eating and drinking.

Norman has been a great dog. He never messed in the house or chewed up my things. He has been a great hiking companion...road trip worrier and toy chaser. He's still great at keeping my feet warm and greeting guests. I think he's going to have a great summer.

Goofy Pup!

Here is Norman. He is cuddled up with Camel, Squirrel and I believe there is a bone under his chin and Duck is behind Camel.


Next month is his birthday. He is OLD... Yet since he was a pup one his absolute favorite things to do is play with all his toys!

Ah well...I guess I'm surrounded by toys much of the time as well :)
Norman sends kisses!!!
