Just a few random things

Yesterday, John and David were over doing some tile work on Keeley's grandma's bathroom. After having a look around the house, they made a funny comment. They said that when they die, they want to be reincarnated as dogs living in our house because they can tell that Keeley lives a pretty good life.


Today I took down all the holiday cards that Keeley received in the DWB exchange. Thank you to all the dogs that sent Keeley a card! Keeley looked really sad to see them come down. We look forward to participating again next year.

Playdate with Tara Tru

Today Keeley had a playdate with Tara Tru. She's the Irish Terrier that was in our pictures on the post about Irish Fest from this past summer. She's so cute!
I told Keeley that a playdate with a show dog is like dating a super model.
Keeley tried to impress Tara right away with some marking. Unfortunately we were inside when he did this. I don't think he understands how embarrassing it is for his grandma and me. Tara's parents were really understanding though.
Keeley mostly just wanted to sniff everything in Tara's house. Tara did her play bow and tried everything to get Keeley to play with her but he was totally into sniff mode. However, they did do some running around outside together.
They also demonstrated what tricks they know. Tara knows how to do "roll over". While the best thing Keeley's got is "give paw".

We had fun and we really liked Tara and her parents. Next time we'll have to have Tara come to our house. Maybe Keeley will be more lively if he's on his own turf.
