Puppies

I puppy-sat for a while last night for Eddie, a poodle and Labrador retriever mix who just couldn't seem to stop moving. He finally crashed around midnight...

My Gracie and Lulu each reacted so differently to a puppy being in the house. Lulu was a little standoffish (perhaps she remembers what happened the last time a puppy entered her domain... that's how Gracie came into the picture).

Gracie, on the other hand, thought he was too sniffalicious. Although they sniffed each other and tried to play, it's hard for a 45-pounder to play with a puppy without the puppy getting hurt. And this was really only her second lifetime encounter with one.

But overall, I think the three of them had a good time. I know Eddie did.

Here's a photo of Eddie (who paused just long enough for this photo... there were about 80 others with a blurred, moving Eddie). Lulu is the blurred one on the right. She's checking him out from a distance.
