Therapeutic!

 Dogs are good for us!


I so missed having a companion - it’s great to chat with Thunder and watch him cock his head from side to side, listening intently as I ramble.

He has gone with me a few times to visit my father and enjoy all the pats and love.  We’ve run errands and napped together.  He is showing me how much he likes to play ball and we plan to join in on class in the coming new year.  Love his sweet face!

Laying Low

 Ah, Fall.  A beautiful time for crisp air, crunchy leaves, and sometimes the dreaded cold and flu season!  We are hunkered down bonding very well this week as I battle bronchitis nastiness.  Thunder has been very patient with me and trying out some new toys (motion activated, light and sound!).  I look forward to more energetic days ahead!  Love that he likes to snooze with me, and he often chooses to hang in his crate nearby with the door open.  Sweet boy! He has used me as a pillow, and also his dish or toys…wonder what Thunder is dreaming about!?!

Snuffle, snuffle

 Snuffle mats are great enrichment and act as slow feeders.  Found a washable one that has chamois-like material, and Thunder loves foraging for kibble and treats.  I’ve made them with polar fleece before, and even rolling fabric with goodies inside makes for a fun activity.

Discussing Wishlist

 I talked things over with Thunder and he has pretty much everything he needs.  We came up with a few ideas, though… Nylabone used to make this silly toy called a “Happy Moppy” - let me know if you find them! He likes an occasional bully stick (when I can find US ones) and squeeze cheese/spray stuffing to seal his stuffed kong toys. Gift cards for Pet Supplies Plus or Chewy He prefers soft toys and loves all treats! Mostly, he wants love.  Hugs and pets. ❤️
