After Archie and Indy left, Sparky and I hung out for a while, then he crashed. Señor Piglet was exhausted.
Sparky must have been an only child. He likes novel experiences, but grows weary of other dogs playing with his toys.
Archie and Indy were good dogs. They liked to play and to nap.
I only left the house once during the slumber party, and kept a close eye on the dogs. Didn’t matter, they were fine. Closing off doorways wasn’t necessary.
This is breakfast of the last day. It’s long, but it captures everyone just hanging out.
Dogs need a couple of long walks, and I am so pleased that they don’t mind sitting down by the creek, just relaxing.
I’m also adjusting to having guests in the house. Sparky has an innate sense of decorum. He wouldn’t think of watching me come out of the shower. When there is a thunderstorm, he might come in to the bathroom, but he averts his eyes and makes awkward conversation. Snowflake and Chumley are curious and shameless.
The guys are coming together as a team. Sparky is getting used to gang walks. He doesn’t stop everytime he wants to smell or piss on something.
Sparky must have been an only child. He likes Snowflake and Chumley, but in small doses. When they first got here, Sparky was so pleased that they were having fun. When Sparky has had enough, he gets a little shitty.
After the dogs had their nap, we went outside for a comfort stop, then had dinner. After that, they were ready to play. Sparky was having second thoughts about the slumber party idea.
Sparky has started calling Archie ,”Snowflake”, because he is skittish, and he calls Indy, “Chumley”. Maybe because he is bigger, easy-going and not too clever. I don’t know if it’s Chumley from the Tennessee Tuxedo cartoon or Chumlee from Pawn Stars.
Of course I wouldn’t want to confuse either dog by using their nicknames.
