A couple of weekends ago, we attended an out of town wedding. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to bring along the puppies. Before you start to feel too sorry for them,they got to stay with their best fur friends, Laila and Meera.Meera and Laila

It turned into a real dog party when more friends stopped over…

Dog Party

Like all good parties, sometimes things get out of hand. Somebody earned a time-out…Naughty Boy Charlie!

Naughty Puppy

What, you ask, could this sweet face have done to end up in time-out!?

Well, amongst other things, some unsolicited landscaping….Charlie Hedge Trimming

You know who didn’t end up in a time-out…Harley. Good Boy as always!

What do you do with your fur children when you travel? Kennel? Family Friend? Ever used a service like Rover.com?

    • Haha, he is a verrry good boy. Sometimes that puppy brain just takes over!!!

  • Aw well it is a very nice stick Charlie! We don’t really travel or stay gone for more than a day, so Shiner can usually just stay at home. Plus, my mother stays here often so she’s usually around to let her out if needed.

    • Thats great – I always wonder where our boys siblings are and how they would react to meeting one another!
