TRAKKER’S TAIL: First Day at Work

Tracker is On the Job!

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning, and on the job already!

Tracker came home for the first time on Saturday (September 24), a month earlier than we had originally thought. We are thrilled!

He seems to be adjusting well, even though Sunday was a long day, filled with lots of riding in the car.

We felt really great coming into “work” this morning.  Got to meet lots of new people:  mostly “colleagues” at Windermere.

Also had to spend lots of time snuggling, chewing on ear lobes, gnawing on fingers, as well as lots of  sniffing and snuffling…

By noon, we were exhausted!  Who knew work could be so hard???

Puppy Love

There is nothing that warms a frozen heart
Like a puppy’s cuddles and kisses;
Though all is dark, there will be smiles
When welcomed by one that so misses.

How could there be tears as he plays with your toes
And looks up at you with sad loving eyes;
Or stress as he shadows your every move
And trips on his ears chasing butterflies?
