Norman is very happy to be outside, and even happier that I have been spending more time back there. He always wants to be a part of the activity, and it's so sweet that he wants to hang out with me, it makes my heart happy.
I have never tried to grow veggies before, so here's hoping. Next weekend we should have plants in the ground.
These last few weeks we have had just beautiful mornings, so I have been leaving the back door open to enjoy the sounds and smells of outside. Norman usually ends up going in and out a few times before he settles outside and falls asleep on his nap mat. This morning, he came out of his room and was walking behind the couches, very quiet, very sneaky, almost as if he was trying to get outside without being noticed. I didn't think anything of it, and kept sipping my tea and reading. Finally I heard a familiar squeaking sound, and all that sneaking around made sense.
Here's what I found....
His tail was wagging and his expression said "oh, was I not supposed to bring this inside toy out here? Don't worry, I'll keep it on the mat."
And he did! That toy never landed on the grass once. He would squeak it then poke his head inside the door and check to see where I was, then go outside and play again.
Then finally the squeaking stopped.
