Heidi & Milton's Blog – June 2013 Archive (11)

Now you see him.

Now you don't.  Almost...…

You know I love this furry boy of mine, but Milton and I had a bad episode of tough love at the dog park on Monday night.  That evening I was attempting to quell Milt's energy before bed, so we arrived to the park late at about 8:00P.M.  As usual, the dood had a magnificent time swimming after balls, chasing his doggie pals, and most importantly, soaking up water to cool down.  …

Milton and I like to take little field trips together on long hot summer days.  One of our favorite stops is Michael's, which, of course, is followed by a quick trip to PetSmart, located directly next door.  The two of us usually amuse ourselves in the doggie section of the store, sniffing the bones and looking for pups to greet, but on this occasion, I deviated from our usual path, and we decided to peruse the bird selection.…

Lately Milton has been, well, a... sassy pants.  There is no other way to describe it.…

On Tuesday my buddy, Danielle, and I took good 'ole Milt Dog to the local dog park.  As of late, we have been forgoing the "dry" land area to splash around in the lake and paddle after tennis balls.  This time, following our swim, we thought we would take a foray back onto firm soil in an attempt to dry off by scampering after more tennis balls.



Silly me threw a ball in the direction of this massive puddle, and wouldn't…

In just a few hours, I will be en route to the airport!  Am I flying to another tropical, luscious destination?  Sadly no, but that is just fine with me because I am picking up precious passengers instead!  Two of my dearest friends, whom I studied abroad  with in Italy, are arriving today for a five-night stay.  It is hard to believe that it has been six years since I, a college senior, traipsed through the streets of Florence with these two beauties.  Our…

Milton and I enjoy taking walks in the early evening when the sun is finally beginning to wane.  Last night we left here at about 8:00P.M., and we began our usually two-mile loop.  We go up one side of the street, sniffing about, and we return down the other side because we need to check that out too. 



Now, Jeff and I might have created a nasty habit (I don't think so.), but during our early morning jogs throughout the…

Good Morning!  Jeff and I returned home yesterday from a five-day vacation in Mexico!  One of Jeff's good buddies from high school, Robbie, was getting married on the beach, so, of course, we absolutely had to attend.  While we were lounging at the pool, we sent Milton off to "camp," otherwise known as his usual, Downtown Dog.  Upon arrival home, Milt Dog is utterly exhausted.  Last night Jeff and I bathed and brushed to get him nice and clean again after all of his…

Summer is in full swing, especially now that I am out of school, and everyday is a Momma and Milton day!  We are beginning to get into our daily routine of waking up, saying goodbye to Daddy Dog, and then taking a nice long walk or run.  Upon return, Milt naps most of the late morning and afternoon, periodically waking to play ball, while Momma sneaks off to yoga class.  We take another little evening walk while we wait for Daddy to come home.  It's…

Milt and I played a little ball yesterday (like everyday!), and it seemed as if after every couple of tosses, all he wanted to do was lie down in our flowerbed.  That's what 90+ degree heat will do to you, I guess.…

This past Friday, Milt and I took a little jaunt to Petco to use one of  his birthday gift cards.  Of course, we left late afternoon, and we got bogged down in typical Dallas traffic.  That aside, we first went to the wrong pet store, PetSmart, and we were forced to redirect to the other side of town.  No problem.



We walked into Petco, and I immediately stepped, with my bare footed flip-flop, into a big puddle of doggie…
