"A good ole boy and a pretty little girl... (and a) little bitty dog..."
-Alan Jackson-
Fall has officially come to San Antonio this year, in 2012, and my little family is so excited!! Highs have been in the mid-80s with lows in the 60s and today, Oct. 7th, the high was 53!!! It smells so unbelievably good in San Anton; the air is crisp and clean. Crazy, I know?! Cool enough to turn your nose pink and make you want a jacket and scarf, but not enough to freeze you out just yet. Pretty sure my little family is beginning to think we belong somewhere with cooler weather because all 3 of us, Goobz included, have been in great moods these past weeks and especially this weekend.
Goobz has been a hoot lately, which I realize is no different than any other day, but I just have to share his latest exploits because they make Dylan and I laugh so dad gum hard!!!
We have started playing outside right after I get home from work. Goobz just wants to run around outside, roll around in the grass and chase his toy bone.
Still likes to drop his toys down the stairs and have you throw them back to him. Repeat process over and over and over and over and one more time... over again.
Sometimes we think there is a little too much love going on in this house. Goobz has started mimicking Dylan and I, and frankly, it is a little scary. He talks to you when you ask him questions. The more you laugh, the more excited he becomes when you play with him. He watches the TV screen when we watch movies and likes to sit in my lap while I read and look at the pages too. He likes to hug you... puts his paws on your chest and moves in close to put his head on your shoulder. Most importantly though, he wants to give you smoochies "kisses" all the time. He is an equal opportunity kisser- both Dylan and I get an equal share of the love. He can do this for up to 10 minutes; we have timed him before. You just make it worse if you try to pull away, so it is just best to close your eyes, shut your mouth and endure.
The weather has cooled off, so Goober is back sleeping in bed with us. He prefers the rug on the floor when it is hot and we are grateful for this. But now he is back in bed, wanting to be right in the middle of Dylan and I. He does not bother me at all, but apparently he likes to kick Dylan. hehe! He is awfully cute though when he wants to snuggle.
Goobz has been finding "treasures" on our walks of late. His latest find is a golf ball, which has turned out to become a great toy because it is indestructible! Only one other toy has managed to stand up to Goobz' ferocious teeth; therefore, I am excited to have another toy that causes Goobz to work hard and get angry because he cannot conquer it.
We have a massive acorn tree in our front yard and the acorns just drive Goober nuts! He cannot put them all in his mouth at a time, so he gets angry when they fall out. He cannot crack them, so he just carries them around in his mouth and deposits them in small piles all around the yard and sometimes they find their way into our house as well. If you let a big handful of them go at one time, it is hilarious to watch because he cannot decide which one to go after so he just runs around like a chicken with his head cut off!! :)
"Wise, wise canine"
Best of all though, an REI opened in San Anton, right down the street from us! We are both super excited, but Dylan is even more excited than I am. They had their Grand Opening this past weekend and gave away free gear and gift cards ranging to $100 bucks to the first 100 or so customers each morning. We got up on Sunday around 4:45 am to be one of the first people in line in 45 degree weather. That's dedication folks!!
