Traveling...

I've been traveling lately for the park service, Ft. Payne, AL last week and Golden, CO next week.  After that, things should quiet down and I can get back to the serious business of blogging!

One of the worst things about traveling is that I am a real homebody - I miss my boys too much when I'm gone!

We miss you too, Mom!

 I found this little stuffed Golden that reminds me an awful lot of Sam...

From the serious little face...

I'm not seeing the resemblance, Mom!

...to its cute little butt!

Did I sit on something?

Don't give up on us - we will be back!  :D

How Sam Spends His Day

We recently installed a camera to watch the boys during the day.  We've yet to see Monty in the camera - we have no idea what he is up to during the day.  We always suspected Sam stayed by the door all day waiting for us to return.  Now we have proof - here is how Sam spends his day...

(Please ignore the pile of books on the pool table - this is our donation pile!)

Early morning - we had a lot of fun identifying the shadows on the black poster board to the right....

Not much difference...

Checking the view out the window...

I took these screenshots one hour apart, I was glad to see he had moved a little bit!

Back to the window....

Several hours into the day...

We do worry that he isn't getting up to drink water. 

Lunchtime...

OMD - he moved!

Almost time for us to come home.  

How do your pups spend the day when you are gone?
