There's no place like home, traveling sucks, and I'm 2 for 2 with having the best ranchsitters in the world.
When I arrived home Monday night, the house was cleaner, there was more food in the kitchen,
and Smooch had two more toys than when I had left.
The ranchsitter even kept track of egg production and left me fresh tomatoes!
Smooch: Don't get me wrong...I love Aunt Betty and she took better care of me than you do,
but don't you dare leave me again. Ever. Deal?
Me: Deal.
Oh, that first picture, with her eyes on fire!
ReplyDeletehahaha Smooch! dealing with you but still showing off her new toys! we got the message!
ReplyDeletePoor Smooch, such mixed emotions.
ReplyDeleteNext week we're going on a quick 3 day getaway into the Smokies, and being as dogs aren't allowed on most trails there, Wally will have to be kenneled, oops, I mean he will be going to "the spa". We always say that so he'll think he's special and having a good getaway too. He can't fool us though as he is spoiled there. The girls give him lots of love, play time and treats!
welcome home...
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!

Glad the 7msn family is reunited and they had such wonderful care while you were gone.

ReplyDeleteWhile our Sierra Nevada vacation was WONDERFUL, I started to miss my dogs, horses, and cats...it's always good to get home! :-)

ReplyDeleteI've missed you! We've all missed you! But I know your animals missed you most of all - welcome home!

It's always a relief and a sincere pleasure to get home..... I don't really like travelling either ....I'm happy to let others have it all ....
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your faithful readers are almost as glad as Smooch that you are home (I know I am!)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jo
Smooch is smiling. How cute. I love vacation but I love coming home to my Chewy google more. Welcome Home. By any chance did LeeenDa come with you?
ReplyDeleteGlad you're home and all is well. Aunt Betty can come to my house and spend the day anytime. Smooch looks beside herself.
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while, you do need to get away. Just to relax. It makes us love home more. When time goes and we wish for a get away, then we go. It's called life.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found someone to take care of your beloved fur balls.
That is always the struggle I have.
Oh! I'm so glad you're home, safe and sound....and rested?? I know all the "kids" missed you.
ReplyDeleteWell, I enjoyed your vacation and it seemed to have gone by very fast!
ReplyDeleteThere's no place like home, though and there's no dog like Smooch!
Did the donkeys give you the cold shoulder?
That Smoochie sure does love her Mama. Her eyes tell it all. Glad you had a fun get away. Glad you're back in the middle of nowhere with your critters. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteSmooch's pure love. Glad you're back with the boys and girl
ReplyDeleteAw, how sweet. I love to travel and explore, but I'm not the fan of air travel that I used to be. And, now that I have my home in the country, I know how you feel - I don't want to leave either - not even to go to town for groceries.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home.
You did such a nice job of keeping us entertained, but it's still good to know you're back with the "kids". Smooch no longer looks confused at all!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hooray for good ranch sitters!
