Granddog Sitting
We had a lovely weekend. Friday morning we headed to the Twin Cities. It was the perfect weekend, weather-wise for traveling. Warm and sunny on Friday, in the 30's all weekend. I dropped my husband and son off at the Metrodome for the big golf show and I headed on to Hudson. We were spending the weekend with our daughter and her family. Our son in law was off work for the weekend, and there were both college and high school hockey games in River Falls and Hudson all weekend. The guys went to the games Friday night, Sat. and Saturday night. Rob hung out with our grandson and his friends, and that left us girls to hang out together. We met up with the guys Sat. night for supper, in between the games. Friday night us girls and Rob, Skylar and Matt played cards. It was a fun weekend.
Coming home was fun too. The kids are going to Mexico for some sun and beach, Wed. through Saturday, so we have the privilege of taking care of our "Grand Dog", Coco. We have been very excited to have her. We really enjoy her. She is a cross between a Yorkie and a Maltese. She is so darn cute, we can hardly stand it! On the way home Rob and I both took turns holding her, but where she really wanted to be was on Bob’s lap, as he was driving! I posted a photo or two here of her, being comfortable on the ride home.
Tonight we were playing with her, with her ball, and her toys. Whenever she thinks one of us has food, that’s where she is in a big rush! She was so excited to see me when I came home. I guess that’s how it is when you have a pet in the home. They always love you. When our kids were young, my Mother always tried to talk us into getting a dog. She was a dog lover. When the boys came along, she told us that every boy needs to have a dog. My Mother in Law didn’t like dogs, she told us that if we ever got a dog she would not come to our house. I could never talk my husband into getting one, I believe that he really took his Mother’s threat to heart. I’m glad now, that at least one of our sons and our daughter are enjoying the companionship of a dog.

It’s really interesting to see how my husband, who never wanted a dog in the family, now treasures this little one. Both our son in law and our daughter have called today, checking in on her, and telling us how much they already miss her.
It’s going to be a fun week for us!
