Today’s Run:  6.31 miles

My dog, Paxton, has a company hangover.

Paxton is “Mr. Enthusiasm.”  He feels it is his doggie duty to be the primary source of welcome and entertainment whenever new people come to our house.  Actually, he feels duty bound whenever anybody comes to our house.  Maybe that is why we do not get much company?     🙂

I had mentioned last week that Uncle Lee was coming for a visit.  That was yesterday.  Uncle Lee brought with him a surprise~Cousin Brian!  Yesterday was a win-win as far as we were concerned.  We talked and talked and talked.  We tried to fit four years of not seeing each other into four hours.  It was a tough job but with all four of us talking at the same time…well, we managed to do a lot of catching up.  We had a lovely time!

Poor Paxton.  He wanted to help catch up, too!  He wanted petted.  He wanted this.  He wanted that.  What he really wanted to do was jump because he was soooo excited.  Paxton also knows that jumping is NOT allowed.  He tried really hard not to jump.  Silly dog~but who wants a 109 lb Boxer jumping on them?  Not me!

Towards the end of the visit, Paxton was a pooped pooch.  He was laying on the floor.  Not for very long, mind you, but he was laying on the floor.  He was tired.

Paxton did something last night that he was not done in a very long time.  He did not wake me up to go outdoors during the night.  I got a full night’s sleep!  Cool Beans!  We will have to have company more often, huh?    🙂
