My Adopted Puppies for the Weekend!

My best buddy, Paulette, went on vacation to the mountains over the weekend, and she let my sister and I take care of her puppies Saturday. Robin and I had it all planned, we would go to a few yard sales in the morning, have brunch at O'Charley's, get a pedicure, get some treats for Jake, Hannah and Scout, feed them, play with them for a few hours, and then right before we leave give them their treats. Great plan right?

Part of the plan came together, just not all of it. We did make it to one yard sale in the morning around 8:30 a.m., and then it started pouring rain. So that ended the yard sales for me; I don't like going through wet yard sale items. The rest of our plan worked, except we got a pedicure before going to brunch.

Then we were off to see the puppies; below is Hannah, she is the sweetest dog. She jumps in your lap, licks your face, and just wants to stay right with you. She gets along well with both Jake and Scout. She's the middle child.


Then, below, there is Scout. Scout was actually given to Brandon, John & Paulette's son, but he stayed at Paulette's house while Brandon was sick and became attached to John & Paulette so he stayed. Scout is a beautiful, big dog; I can't spell the breed of dog he is, but he has so much energy. It was actually hard for me to get a picture. Paulette had warned me about something that Scout would do, but I had forgotten. He likes to walk through your legs; well, Robin and I are a little shorter than John and we almost sat on his back like a minature horse. It was quite funny! Scout is the number three child; such a sweet dog and she may be the last. You never know, Paulette may find another one though.


I left the best for last, Jake. Paulette found Jake in the road one day; she picked him up, and took him home. Jake is getting older; I always try to make sure I pet him, I liked him before I had ever seen Scout or Hannah. Jake doesn't really like the playing between Scout and Hannah; most of the time he ignores it, but just don't get next to his food. He's still such a friendly dog, and you could tell he was missing his family. He'll be mad if they don't come home soon.


I will not forget Lady; she was an outside dog that John and Paulette had for years, and Jake was there for a few years before she passed away from old age. They would bring her in during the winter or on raining days, but she liked being outside. Lady was black, a little bigger than Jake, and she had long hair. We miss you Lady!

Robin and I had a ball playing with, feeding, watering, and giving them treats. I don't know where John & Paulette get the energy to keep up with Jake, Scout and Hannah (especially Scout) every day since they are getting up in years. I'm way younger, and I was tired afterwards.

Thanks for letting us take care of your boys Paulette & John; we loved doing it!
