Friday is the last day of school for Pickles. She and Rufus have a whole summer to play, play, and play some more!! Will, Pickles’ neighbor, invited her and Rufus over to swim this weekend to celebrate the first weekend of summer break!

This Memorial Day will look much different than it did last year for the Pickering family. They will attend a Memorial Day tribute early in the day, and later in the afternoon, the neighborhood will have a cookout at the community playground. Doggies are allowed on the playground as long as they are on leashes.…

Pickles now attends in-person class two days a week and is doing her classwork online the other days. It has been great to see her classmates again. Rufus misses her when she is gone, but the summer is just around the corner, and he will have lots of time with his best friend!

Pickles did well on her spelling test today. Later this week she has a math test. After school, she and Rufus are going next door to play with Will and his dog Houston. Rufus and Houston love playing tug of war with their rope toys!

It was hard for Anastasia to concentrate on her school work today because it is so beautiful outside. She is an outdoor girl! Rufus waited patiently for her to finish her work and now the two best friends are at the dog park with Mom:)

Pickles and Rufus are still sleeping on this lovely Sunday morning but soon they will rise and shine to a new fun day. Pickles and Mom are going to buy the plants for their summer garden this afternoon while Rufus stays home with Dad. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Pickles and her neighbor, Will, will have an Easter Egg hunt between their two yards this afternoon. Rufus and Will’s dog, Houston, will search for hidden doggie treats too! Mom and Dad are hiding eggs and treats now. Let the fun begin! Happy Easter, everyone:)

Pickles and Rufus enjoyed this beautiful weekend. They played outside the entire time! Now Rufus is snoozing on his bed and Pickles is studying her spelling words. Patience, the fairy is close by should Pickles need a bit of good advice:)

Pickles and Rufus are still sleeping this morning but they have a big day planned. After breakfast Dad will take them to the doggie park and the afternoon is all about bikes and ball!

Pickles helped Mom gather Swiss chard from their fall garden and they will have it for dinner tonight. Rufus will stick to his dog food and anything that hits the floor:)
