Long Walk With The Boys

Found this in my drafts...we were in Allentown, PA then. It sums us up so perfectly.

Walking Miles Today: 7.2
May Miles: Good Question
Temp on Departure: 74* sunny with a nice wind

Yesterday and today I was feeling overwhelmed with loneliness and homesickness. I hadn't felt either for quite awhile. The cuz is spending the summer in Alaska, I think that is what caused it- knowing she is there- and I'm not. Although at the same time I don't really want to be, I have so much going on here. Once in awhile it just hits me, it starts with a headache, then an overwhelming nauseous and then a big ol' stomach ache. I'm always shocked at how terrible it feels and how PHYSICAL it is (at least for me). But I woke up this morning and it was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine, no humidity, some wind and really not alot to do. I had a very productive last few days, so I thought today we are going to walk. And walk we did! It's been awhile since we walked and took pictures like we used to in Atlanta (daily). Petey wasn't sure what we were doing. I guess that is why he put his head in the bushes!

Petey says"Oh, we're taking pictures?"

"Oh, well let me pose then...Common Blue- Look FIERCE!"

There is a ridge that I can see from our house, I have yet to make it over the hill, but today we walked to it. I haven't figured out the path to get over it safely. Most of the roads/streets have no shoulder and no sidewalk.
But there is a great walking path that has all these neat old stone structures here and there. So we did a little photo shoot.

Oh, my boys. They are always here for me. Somedays I'm like, "This is it, these are my last dogs, they are SO needy!" They follow me all around the house when Matt isn't home. I mean GLUED to my leg. We have this BIG house and Blue literally leans on me as I am doing laundry. As I put the dishes away Petey tries to lay ON my feet. Blue scratches at the bathroom door when I shut it. Petey howls when I take the garbage out (like 2 minutes!) I find myself yelling at them "Give me some [elbow] ROOM!"

Then we have a great walk like this. And I think, I couldn't IMAGINE my life without dogs, especially these two.

They are my angels, always here for love and adventure- what ever I come up with, they are always ready! I can't wait to have them in New York City with me!
They are always there to take the loneliness away. Just when I need it too!

That's mamma's boys.

great pictures of the dogs. You really have a special talent taking photos, as your Uncle Bill. I think we all just love our pictures.
I'm happy you have such wonderful dogs.
