Nine step process for sleep...

Well, with Zack growing stong, his energy is contagious. This list is his routine each night to try and get to sleep. He fights going to sleep, especially since he goes into watch dog mode sometimes in the living room. This is a nine step process and if you miss any of the steps, you usually skip to step number 2 and repeat until about midnight :)

1. evening fetch and scamper 20-40 minutes
2. catch-me-if-you-can with unallowed objects (Birkenstocks, running shoes)
3. china digger (digging for china) on the bed
4. banishment from the bed
5. tugging at unallowed objects (Nigerian cotton blanket, bathrobe sleeves)
6. readmission to the bed to snuggle and calm down
7. proper belly rub and transfer to dog bed
8. pacing, some tugging at the sheets, check living room to secure the perimeter.
9. final cross check and return to bedroom

Boundless energy

Just a quick entry this morning to keep you up to date. Zack is growing fast and is nearly the size of Skippy these days. His boudnless energy is amazing and just beginning I understand. He fights the urge to go to sleep and wants to play all night sometimes. He now has his own bed in the bedroom with his name on it so he's feeling better about the new bedroom arrangements. :)

New best friend...

As you can tell by this photo, Zack has a new best friend lakeland pal named Kenny! He and Zack had a great time as you can tell with Zack's paws wrapped around him in a friendly hug. The days have been hot lately so Zack really turns on after the evening sun drops below the trees. We have nicknamed it "Golden hour fetch" my favorite time of day to be fishing...guess all of nature gets active just before the sun goes down. This is true for Zack. By the way, you can now send an email link to a friend. So send your friends a link to Zack's BLOG.
