At the dog park today, this little one named Sophie came running up from underneath my chair and sat in front of me as if she were my own. Kaia tried to bully her, but she didn’t budge until we stood up to leave. I love when there’s that feeling of an instant connection with an animal.

Liz and I took the dogs to the park today. Bones has come out of his shell and is very much the social butterfly, picking playful fights with all the other dogs. But he always comes back to where we are sitting just to check in with us and make sure we are still there.
Today we sat in a different area than we usually do, so when Bones came to check in, he couldn’t find us. He panicked and ran straight for the gate. When we weren’t there either he stuck his head out of the fence and looked in the direction of our apartment. He may have chewed up my W-2, and pulled the laces out of my shoes, and I may be a little tired of his puppy antics, but watching him desparately look for us and then leap for joy when I walked over and got him was a little adorable. Probably not, but I may miss him a little bit when he leaves us after this weekend.

Hello. My name is Kaia and I was wondering if you’d be interested in trying to get this stick from me.

I created a file on my computer two years ago where I keep photos of Kaia. Only Kaia. Like, if it’s Kaia and someone else—even me—it doesn’t go into the folder. I have 704 photos of only Kaia. Still, I feel a little awkward at the dog park when the other owners are staring at me taking pictures of her. So, I put my camera away before I really want to and I end up with the best photo of the day being this one where she kind of looks demonic.

This Tumblr started as a road trip blog, but now it's going to be a Photo-a-Day blog--all original content. Enjoy.
