Pickles and Rufus are enjoying this beautiful sunny afternoon in the dog park, Rufus’s favorite place to play. Today, Will, Pickles’s next-door neighbor, is there with his dog Houston.

This Memorial Day, the Pickering family will attend a service in their hometown to honor our fallen heroes. This year, Pickles’ Nana and Papa are visiting and will also attend.

Pickles and Rufus have played outside all day. Mom even made them a picnic lunch. Since tomorrow will also be a nice day, the Pickerings will take Rufus for a romp in the dog park:)

Mom and Rufus are driving Anastasia to school on this rainy morning. Although this rain is not Anastasia’s magical sprinkles, it is nourishing Mother Earth quite well!

Pickles has a cold and is home from school today. Rufus knows his best friend feels bad so he’s giving her lots of snuggles:)

Pickles and Rufus had a fun Christmas. Rufus got a new tug-of-war toy, and Anastasia got a new jump rope, new tennis shoes, and a new Warmie that she sleeps with every night:)2024 is just around the corner!

Anastasia only missed one spelling word on her quiz today. Rufus helped her study yesterday by napping quietly by her side as Mom called out the spelling words. Good job, Pickles!

Pickles, Rufus, and Mom are headed to the beach after school. The day is perfect for enjoying the sun, sand, and ocean breeze! Will today be the day Rufus learns to catch a frisbee?

Pickles and Rufus will leave for two weeks this weekend to visit Nana and Papa! Pickles is very excited and has already packed for their fun trip. Rufus is excited when his best friend is excited:)

The Pickering family will attend their town’s Memorial Day parade soon. Thank you to all of our fallen heroes.
