Now that I am double-grounded because I ran off about 87 times, I don’t get to run through the big yard and play with my guy, Riley. Sometimes we run up and down the fence together, with me in the dog lot and him in the big yard. And sometimes, just for me, Riley puts aside his disdain of getting his dainty paws messy in the dog lot. Yesterday was one of those times.

We walked and ran together.

We played tug-of-war and keep-away with the stick.

And Riley used his dainty yet powerful paws to try to dig a hole big enough so I could escape.
Lucy: Riley, stop! Andrew’s looking.
Riley: I’ll just push this brick in the hole to hide your exit route.

Lucy: Hi Andrew! Us? We weren’t doing anything.
Love and Wiggles, Lucy the Convict
Andrew keeps leaving and taking Riley with him, so it might be next year before he gets to work on it again. I try to make the best of it in the dog lot that is losing all its grass. It’s fun to roll Xena in the dirt!

AWwww….I’m sorry to hear you’re still double grounded Lucy 😦 But it’s so nice to see you and Riley playing together, at least your mom is still letting you have some fun! Riley is so sweet to try and make an escape route for you! I hope he can get it done without getting caught!

I’ll remember that if it comes to that. Very rocky ground.

OMGoodness, L. Do NOT go under the fence. That’s where the danger is. Stay where you belong. Too far from home can be scary.
Love and licks,

They look so happy together.
I could never understand how dew on a blade of grass could cause a paw to raise to chest level and an euuuuu sound was uttered yet a mud puddle was something to wish for and leap into.

Oh yes. Riley has perfectly formed, small, dainty paws, about which he is very particular. He keeps them quite clean and refuses to step into wet grass or anywhere he thinks is dirty.
