The Best Pup-Sitter We Can Imagine

Well

We said that a DifferentSort of Adventure was coming up

Good thing we didn't say When or How Soon
'Cause, predictably, it's taken a while for OurMoma to help us tell you about It

and

Those of you who visit our FacebookPage
(Or, rather, OurMoma's FB page ... she shares it with us)
You'll already know all about this Story

anyhow

Since OurMoma has promised to get better about helping us blog
(and remember all our FunAdventures)
We're gonna go ahead and retell it here

(It's worth it ... it was GreatFun)

So

Here's the Story

We knew Something was up
(We're heard OurMoma talking and talking on the phone and checking and rechecking her calendar)

 We waited
Patiently
(as usual)


Finally
The Day arrived and we were ready!

Our LongTimeFriend, Missy, came to Colorado

We had met Missy and Stevie and their NowAngelJustin in MerryLand
Back during our BigCrossCountryAdventure in July 2010
(You can see MorePictures from that GreatTime Here)

On the way home from the DenverInternationalAirport
Where we picked Missy up
We swung by and showed her one of her MostWantedPlaces to Visit
RedRocksAmphitheater

We've walked the steps before ... all the way to the Bottom and the Top again

but

ThisDay we just looked down from the Top
And watched all the People and TheirPups exercising

It didn't take long for us to remember Miss Missy
and
To start enjoying her Scritchies and Lovin'

She was a PushOver when it came time for BeggingForBreakfast

(What else are TwoHungryDogs to do?)

Life took on a PrettyFastPace for a couple of days

Our friend Miss Shawn (Winston and Chloe and Cecil's moma) came over
and we all enjoyed Time (and Food and Sunggles) on the Deck


(and more Scritchies and more Lovin' ... of course)

Life was ReallyReallyGood

Then
OurMoma left
(OurGirl had left before Miss Missy arrived)

We spent a LittleBit (but not TooMuch) Time watching out the door for her

but
Soon we understood

OurMoma had gone to spend time with HerMoma (OurGramma) and HerSister (OurAuntie)
in Florida
and
This time she took an airplane and we didn't ride with her 
In the car on a LongLong(Hot)Roadtrip

We knew she was at the Beach
and
We remembered we're gonna get to go back there ThisWinter
(Or maybe sooner, if Gramma makes a BigMove)
(It's AwfulHot there during the summer for TwoLittleFurballs)

Thinking we might forget her (as if)
OurMoma sent us an OccasionalPicture
Enjoying a drinkie with OurAuntie (That's OurMoma)

Admiring the MostBeautiful and ElegantZoƫ
(AuntieJudith's pup)

Feeding ice cream to Gramma's Bella
(We will NOT forget that she owes us one!)

and

Visiting a MostAmazingBlueberryFarm

Where she and AuntieJudith picked tons of Blueberries
(Promising to bring some back for us)

Meanwhile

Back at the Ranch in Colorado

We made ourselves MoreThanComfortable with Missy

She fed us well
(Gotta remember to share some Recipes with OurMoma)

We helped her unpack Pressies that got delivered to OurFrontDoor

and

We celebrated Jake's 7th Birthday!
(Missy brought Pressies and a FoxieCard with a MostWonderfulMessage!)

It seemed like the Time flew by
and
Before we knew it

OurMoma was HOME!
(You know what that meant!)


She kept her word and brought us Blueberries
(Even though they were bit delayed
Since her luggage went to Dallas and Minneapolis before it finally arrived back in Colorado)

and

YUMMMM they were good!

Once OurMoma got back (and OurGirl was having fun at her MostExcitingSummerJob)
We all took Missy on a Trip up Mt Evans
(One of Colorado's 14ers, a mountain with an elevation over 14,000 feet ... with a road to the top)

Here we are close to Timberline
(Missy is holding on tight and gripping her toes!)

We got a VerySpecialTreat near the Top


Mountain Goats!

(They say there is a StrikingResemblance between Me and ThatDude)

Do you agree?

Anyhow
ThoseGoats put on Quite a Show for ThePeople
(UsDogs stayed in the car ... it was way too cold and windy for OurPreferences)
Watch and See!


TooSoon it came Time to tell MissMissy Goodbye

The time came that she needed to go back to MerryLand

but

Not before leaving some SpecialTreats to remind us of her Everyday
A Collection of HeartRocks that she gathered while she was in Colorado

Braided Tug (or, in Fergi's case ... Cuddle) Toys made of strips of her VeryOwnSweatshirts

and Some LovelySmellingCandles of her MostFavoriteFragrance
(One that will remind us all of her when we burn them in OurHome)

Having Missy here to take care of us while OurMoma and OurGirl were gone
Was WONDERFUL

We're 'specially happy, 'cause it seems MissMissy enjoyed it, as well

and

Maybe

Just

Maybe

There's gonna be MoreOpportunities in the Future

We are so pleased you sat your Momma down and dictated such a lovely post about your time with Missy.

Staying at home and being utterly spoilt is the best!

OMD what a fun time was had by all. Thank you for sharing all of that. I have never seen mountain goats, they are pretty big. I am glad you were so well cared for and perhaps even a little spoiled while Mommy was away and your pressies are most pawsome.

Well if your Momma has to go away, you couldn't possibly do better than have Missy to stay with you. And oh aren't you both looking splendid just now. The photo of Jake in the tartan bed is our favourite. Oh, that and Fergi doing her mountain goat impersonation!
Toodle pip!
Bertie (and Gail).
PS The heart rocks are cool!

Sally said...

Wow - what a wonderful blog - Missy is one great Jake and Fergi sitter. Do you think she would come across the pond and stay with us? We have lots of heart rocks here too!

Jake does look like a mountain goat a bit - but cuter....

Lots of licks from us

Sally, Paddy, Klaus and foster Honey
