The Pickering family is going to a restaurant tonight with beach views. They are dining outside, so Rufus is allowed on the patio. It’s a beautiful day for an outing!

The Pickering family had a fun Labor Day holiday, and now it is back to school for Pickles! Mom will take Rufus to the vet today for his yearly exam, and the two will pick up Pickles from the bus stop this afternoon. Be a good boy, Rufus!

Tomorrow is the first day of school for Pickles. Rufus will miss being with his best friend, but he and Mom will walk her to the bus stop in the mornings and meet her there in the afternoons!

Pickles and Rufus had a great July 4th with Nana and Papa. They still have a few more days together before her grandparents leave to go back home. We hope you have a safe and happy ending to your holiday weekend!

Pickles and Rufus are having lots of fun so far this summer. Nana and Papa are coming to visit on Friday for the 4th of July weekend. It will soon be party time at the Pickerings!

Pickles and Mom made Dad his favorite meal for Father’s Day and gave him a new pickleball racket and new swim trunks. Of course, Pickles made him a card and drew a pawprint from Rufus:)

Friday is Anastasia’s last day of school. Rufus will soon have his best friend around to play all summer long! Shhh….don’t tell him. It’s a big surprise:)

Today the Pickering family attended a service at their City Hall to honor our fallen soldiers. Later they participated in a community meal to celebrate the freedoms for which our soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice.

Pickles made a lovely card for Mom for Mother’s Day, and Dad took everyone to lunch at a nice restaurant. Rufus was allowed to come too because the restaurant allowed dogs on the covered patio. Mom felt very special, and everyone had a great day!
