Visits

Well, Jess and Mike came in for a visit this past week. I wish they could have come the week before, when I didn't have to work, but we still had fun. Saturday morning Jess and Ruth came over with Sarge to play with Sarge's cousin, Isa. Unfortunately, Sarge's cousin Isa is a poorly behaved canine, so they didn't get much playing done. Isa rolled Sarge on his back about 4 times, and we finally said enough is enough! So she had to go to her kennel in the house while Sarge got to play outside. Which he found his new favorite toy, a soccer ball! He even managed to pick it up in his mouth, although he couldn't hold it for long. It was quite entertaining because he would "talk" to the soccer ball as he rolled it around with his mouth. Sarge is such a well-behaved dog. I'm pretty jealous that I didn't have Isa as a puppy, becaues I think she could be such a wonderful dog and while she's still a wonderful dog, she just isn't so well-behaved, particularly around other dogs. We did take both dogs for a walk around the neighborhood, and that was fun. Clearly, we wore Sarge out... unfortunately for Sarge, his cousin Truman didn't want to play with him. I've never seen Truman get as big as he was while Sarge was here! The funny part was that if they were both downstairs Sarge would be sleeping, and totally ignorant of Truman, and then Truman would meow and Sarge would be up in a flash. If Truman had just kept quiet, he would have been fine!

Well, despite how it sounds, the humans did actually get some time to visit as well. We had a great time Saturday night at the MHBC Youth Putt-Putt night. We took 19 kids and the whole Price/Looten family to Perche Creek. Mom, Dad, Jess, and I played a round of putt-putt poorly, but we had a lot of fun. Sometimes we kept it on the correct hole. I did learn that Charlie is a giant putt-putt cheater when he came and took over for Jess on the "back nine." Dad, of course, won, but nobody's scores were scores to be proud of! I know I have some great pictures, but they're on Ruth's camera phone, so I'll have to post them if she ever figures out how to email them to me (HINT, HINT). Afterwards we went out for ice cream (Thanks, Mike) and just talked until Dad couldn't hold his eyes open anymore! We had a good visit, and I can't wait until Thanksgiving, when at least Jess will be back... Mike, stay as safe as you can! We love you both!
