WEEKEND IN IOWA


My parents went to Dallas for the weekend to visit my brother and sister-in-law, so this was a great weekend to have some "me" time. I headed up to Iowa Friday after work, and had a long relaxing weekend "dog-sitting". Well, it would of been more relaxing if there weren't 3 dogs to control ;)
Snickers- the 7 year old Rat Terrier loves to play ball and bark.
Luke- the 3 year old Cocker Spaniel wouldn't let the other dogs near me- he was taking advantage of my parents being gone by acting out - bc he knows I will let him :)
Laddie- the 8 month old Brittney Spaniel is WILD......

This was the first time I had spent the weekend at my parents alone without my beloved Buddy.... It was hard being there without him. We would go for car rides and walks and he was quite the snuggler. He was with us for 12 years- and it is very hard going to my parents knowing he wont be there to greet me :( He passed away in April- so it is still very fresh for me. I love this picture of him, taking a ride to town with dad in the truck. This was taken a few days before he died. This is Buddy at his happiest :) (notice his hawkeye collar ;)

Mom and Dad had a nice time touring the new Cowboys stadium, and hitting up the local farmers markets and antique shops. My brother even took my dad to his first NFL game. Too bad it was a boring one- Cowboys beat the Redskins 7-6.
By the time Sunday rolled around I was ready to head home to pet-family of 2 cats!!! I was definitely missing my little man
