July 2, 2009

It has been a quiet week in the Fluken/Moss household. Sampson's days are spent inside the airconditioned house, although it's only been in the mid 90's this week (which we consider "cool"). Andy spends his lunch hour at home with Sam, on a daily basis. After work, we enjoy time in the backyard with Sam and a good book, or in the pool while Sam lounges on the deck. Today, while Andy and I were swimming, Sampson decided he was done hanging by the pool. He stood up, walked over to the stairs leading down from our deck, and in about two hops, made it down six wooden stairs to the concrete - with no problem. I held my breath watching this, and immediately scolded him. He looked at me with his "what's the problem?" eyes. Ugh.

The evenings have been perfect doggy-walk weather. The three of us hop over to the neighborhood park and Sam sniffs out the scene. After a few minutes, once Sam startes looking exhausted, we head home to more reading and snuggling. We're looking forward to a relaxing three day weekend, full off BBQs, friends, swimming, chillaxin', and playing.
