One more full week of school and summer break will be official! Pickles is so excited for a whole summer to play with her best friend. Rufus doesn’t understand the reason for her excitement, but he’s happy anyway!

When Pickle’s alarm clock rang this morning, she fell back to sleep, so now she is scurrying about. Rufus knows what this rush means, so he waited downstairs for their walk to the bus stop:) Smart doggie!

Today Anastasia’s class took a trip to the Botanical Gardens and everyone had a great time on this beautiful, sunny day! Rufus and Mom will meet her at the bus stop in another hour:)

Pickles and Rufus are still snoozing this morning, but later in the day they are going to the local Arts Festival with Mom and Dad. Rufus loves “sniffing out” the crowd!!

Pickles has a cold so she stayed home from school today with Mom and her best buddy Rufus. They are napping while Mom makes soup for lunch. Get well soon Anastasia:)

Rufus doesn’t know, but in one month his best friend will be out of school for the summer! Fun times are ahead!!

It’s Friday AND early release from school! Pickles, Mom and Dad are buying the plants for their summer garden this weekend. Rufus is not allowed in the garden…but he sure does love to dig:)

Mom enrolled Pickles in an after school yoga class and she loves it. Rufus sometimes tries to imitate her moves at home. It is quite a sight to see!
