The Pups

Today we woke to temps in the 60's and dry air.  It made for a great walk with the pups.  They were even a bit more frisky.  It will still get into the mid 90's today but with much less humidity which makes it much more bearable.  

Speaking of the pups. We have renamed Abby (the new pup) to Maggie.  We have never liked that name and we both agree it just isn't a good fit for her.  We called her a lot of other names than Abby anyway so we felt a change was in order.  We knew that changing her name may present difficulties, so choosing a name that sounded similar was our goal and we came up with Maggie.  She doesn't notice any different.  We sometimes call her Abby anyway out of habit.  So far so good.

We are going on a short road trip in October and can't take the dogs.  Our first choice is Son #1 and his family.  They love Snickers to death so they are a natural pick but adding Maggie to the mix they seem a little reluctant.  She is very timid and stays hidden when they have been around.  I understand and don't want them to feel pressured.  The other alternative is a commercial kennel near us.  This has it's own issues that gives great concern to 'K.'  We need to get this resolved this week so we have time to make reservations there or somewhere else.  I don't want to cancel our plans but we have done that in the past too.  

Today or at least this morning will be spent cleaning the house, once I get off this.  With two dogs now, the house gets much dirtier very quickly along with the youngest Granddaughter being here for two nights.  Lots of vacuuming and mopping is in my future and then a trip to get groceries.  I'm tired already just thinking about it lol.
